Shereen in Kerala, India on FB: A nation-state will always behave in a manner that fulfil its national security interests. I trust whatever the North Korean regime did was to ensure the survival of the state.

Audrey on FB: Countries like China and Cuba have always been vilified. I found them to be quite different from what has been pictured in the West, so I have reason to doubt what we are being told about North Korea.

Kiteza in Rio emailed the 成人论坛: The situation does seem fairly bad in the northern areas of Rio, but things are calm and mostly normal elsewhere. An increased police presence is all I've seen of the so-called 'Rio Riots' and 'war' taking place in the city.

Hard drugs business is a multi million dollar venture, therefore police raids is not enough to flush out these criminals. They will always regroup no matter what. They will always make sure that the addicts get their fix. Mustapha Kawoje. Nigeria.
