This is a video about the terror threat that took place during the 2014 Olympics. It's shows how unstable the government is over there and how the Russian government tries to cover up bombings and other acts of terror.

I wonder where this Islamist group is now with the Ukrainian crisis.

this article talks about Russia and US's deal and how its going to take a long time to actually seize and destroy all of Syria's chemical weapons because we can only destroy what they tell us they have.

There are a lot of other really interesting points raised about the challenges of these goals and Bashar's calling of the rebels terrorists and the blurring lines of who has chemical weapons. 1000 tons is a lot of weaponry to dispose of and how can the international community actually believe that this is all of the weapons. What about the rebel who feels all the international community cares about is chemical weapons? Are they right?

This article is about how the Taliban is, once again, attacking government buildings in Afghanistan like they do every spring when the weather warms up in the mountains. The reason they do this every spring is to try and regain control of the government of Afghanistan. It is my understanding that their motive is to control the global opium market and ultimate wealth. I believe this is reliable information because it is on the CNN website and they have a good reputation for accurate news. I have learned that the Taliban is very persistent and violent. I can't imagine living in a country where a violent terrorist group is trying to overthrow the government every spring. I feel that must be an unsafe place to live, work, and try and raise a family, and am glad I live in the U.S.

In this article Russian protesters force police out of a government building in the Ukraine and don't even budge when a full scale anti-terrorist assault is threatened. It was useful to read because it informed me about this international event in the Ukraine making me a better global citizen. I am now more aware of the unrest in the Ukraine and resilience of the Russian protesters.
