Catastrophic..

 
The 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Monday evening had its epicenter in the Defne district of Turkey's Hatay province, which was of the area's worst affected by the Feb. 6 magnitude 7.8 quake that killed nearly 46,000 people in the two countries.

Same time, the US and the west have sanctions on Syria in the past 15 years which is destroying its economy.  The US military occupies one third of the country of Syria for one reason or another.

Hated..

 

Cato..



Americans should be shocked by what Washington does such as illegally intervening in Syria’s civil war and occupying a third of that country. 

Despite pressure to actively intervene against Assad, the Obama administration focused on aiding supposedly moderate insurgents, with little success. One program spent a half billion dollars to train fewer than threescore fighters.

 Radicals hid their views in order to receive arms from America; supposedly democratic forces fought with and sometimes surrendered to Islamists, along with their equipment.

Moreover, reported the New York Times: “Most of the arms shipped at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Qatar to supply Syrian rebel groups fighting the government of Bashar al‐​Assad are going to hard‐​line Islamic jihadists, and not the more secular opposition groups that the West wants to bolster, according to American officials and Middle Eastern diplomats.”

One of the indirect beneficiaries of U.S. aid was Jabhat al‐​Nusra, Syria’s al‐​Qaeda affiliate.  [Article by Cato Institute.]

Theft..

 

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Saturday it would be “unthinkable” for Russia not to pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
The EU said she was “disappointed” by a decision that Swiss authorities took last week against using seized Russian assets to assist with Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. 

She insisted that Moscow would be held financially accountable for the destruction inflicted on its neighbor.

Swiss authorities ruled that permanently confiscating the assets of Russians banned within the country was unconstitutional. [theft]
So far, the Swiss has moved in lockstep with the European Union in freezing assets of high-profile Russians linked to President Vladimir Putin. It currently has about 7.5 billion Swiss francs ($8.1 billion) in frozen assets.
Von der Leyen described the ruling as putting business interests ahead of political justice. Asked if he was disappointed with the verdict, he replied bluntly.
What about the destruction of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Vietnam?

Social..

 


 A new study suggests that it's time to turn some attention to social determinants of health, too.

This new brain health study found that education level, income, race and depression status, in tandem with healthy lifestyle habits, play a surprisingly large role in the potential development of dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

You can't isolate one habit or factor and deem it the cause of cognitive decline. 

Brain health is impacted substantially by personal well-being throughout the lifespan. This includes how secure someone feels at home, whether or not they're experiencing a mental health challenge like depression, their level of financial freedom, and how much they've been able to study to build up their "brain bank."
