RE: @yourhelper, stopping Wars one month from today, and forever

in #war8 years ago

BAE Systems is a British multinational defense company/contractor. They're currently the largest war profiteer in the world. They're location in Saudi is where they "train" the pilots that bomb Yemen.

I spoke with the pilots and the trainers. They promise that the Saudi's can't fly worth a damn, and that the Brits and Americans are the actual pilots dropping the bombs, though in Saudi jets (provided by BAE).

I'm absolutely not saying that Saudis are the reason for the middle east problem, I'm saying the Sunni/Shiite divide is being used by the West and Russia to control natural gas/oil revenue. Russia has backed the shiite (Iran) and the US has backed the Sunni (Saudi) and so it's in our best interest to keep these factions at each other's throats despite them both being Muslim.

If you could mend Sunni/Shiite relations then you could end virtually all conflict in the Middle East. To do that, you'd need to convince the Saudi and Iranian leaders that it would be profitable to stop being at each others' throats.

Once you mend the Sunni/Shiite problem you'd have to address the Middle East/West conundrum. Boko Haram (one of the biggest terrorist groups in the world) essentially stands for "Western teachings are evil/against Islam". If you want to convince them to stop being a terrorist organization without killing anyone then you'd need to pump some serious money into islamic education programs in NorthEast Africa. Maintaining traditional Islam as the focus of the curriculum but also having intense English/Mathematics courses to drive the literacy rate and STEM level up for the country. That reduces Terrorism 10/10 times.

If you want more insight, I want more money.
