What’s all the fuss with Iran about?


Lately Iran and America have been negotiating about a nuclear declaration. Iran has to follow rules set up by America and in exchange for that Iran gets freed from sanctions by the same America. Last week Rohani (the president of Iran) has claimed that he will only sign the deal when Iran is freed from all sanctions led up by the USA. Iranian civilians already celebrated the release from the sanctions last week. Will they be able to keep on partying?

The deal which is about to be signed is more complicated than it seems to be. There are different types of sanctions coming from different countries. There are sanctions led up by the UN, the EU, and the USA.
To make it more clear I could write in depth about the sanctions. However a video is way more convenient and shows how different news channels look at the sanctions. Let’s first look a video from RT (Russia Today), they have posted a video online in which they clearly explain the current sanctions and how to deal is doing:


Then, to complete the view from different sides, a video from CNN. In which they talk about whether or not the sanctions have worked:



Now that these videos have created a clearer image around Iran and the sanctions the following videos are more in depth; the first is an interview with Obama by the New York Times in which he talks about the nuclear deal, the second video is a debate between about the Iranian deal on RT.

Donald Trump: Unpresidented

If someone from 2009 was shown the quotes 1 and outbursts of Donald Trump from the last couple of months, he or she would be shocked. Devastated even. The correct word for his term is unprecedented. Or as I like to put it: unpresidented. The entire storm he created around his personality seems to be getting worse and worse. Every time when the public thinks "this must be the worst a president has ever said or done" he takes it to the next level. However this may be my opinion, Trump is different than every single one of his predecessors. He even differs from many other world leaders as well. He is totally undiplomatic, something which can be dangerous when dealing with leaders like Kim Jung Un from North Korea. Leaders who are used to more diplomatic communication than outing personal opinions on Twitter. A great example is the undermining of the entire nuclear deal with Iran, in which former President Obama and his staff put a lot of effort. 2 Let alone the Paris ...

Is there a solution to ISIL? The General Assembly discusses

During the last couple of months ISIL has taken over a huge part of the Middle East, mainly in Iraq or Syria. They changed their territory into IS (Islamic State) and are planning on expanding enormously.  At first the world just watched and stood by, until this week. The war has been declared to IS. President Obama said in his speech during the 69 th General Assembly of the UN today that he asks the world to cooperate against ISIL, who he calls a “network of death”. He build upon that by saying that this world is formed by “those who build the future, not those who destroy!”. There will not be a landing of US troops on Iraq soil again he claims, he believes that ISIL can be destroyed with bombardments. This is a strong statement which become weak if it would be necessary to invade Iraq and Syria eventually. It is a risk he is taking. President Obama was not the only one to speak on the General Assembly this afternoon. President Rouhani from Iran also gave a speech about IS...
