Stay home; lock down the economy; hold until there are no new cases. With a strict quarantine, this disease would have been crushed , lives ago. Quarantine works, but people don't like it. Even putting limits on public behavior is hard; I want to go to a restaurant, want to hug my daughter, and see my son.
I also wear anti-virus body armor, just as my daughter, a noncombatant in Afghanistan had, to wear her armor. Mine is lighter, and cheaper; it's just a simple surgical mask. In February when there weren't enough masks to protect our doctors and nurses, we were asked not to use scarce supplies.
Doctors and nurses were at greater risk. But that was a long time ago; masks are widely available now. That's more protection than ceramic armor and a helmet give a soldier.
If you wouldn't go on patrol in a war zone without your helmet, don't leave home without your antivirus gear. It's not a matter of courage or masculinity. It's good sense.

Christiane Amanpour wrote that Soleimaini was "a shadowy spymaster mythologized among Shiites and loathed by Iran's American adversaries" and the world is watching "to see how and where Iran retaliates after three days of official mourning end. In the words of a former UK ambassador in the region, does the Trump administration have a plan to prevent this killing from being more than just 'drive-by adventurism'?
Writing before the general was targeted, Aaron David Miller noted "the inconsistency and vulnerability of the Trump administration's policies toward both Iran and Iraq. Like a modern-day Gulliver, President Trump is metaphorically wandering around a Middle East where he'd rather not be, tied up both by smaller powers whose interests are not his own — and by America's illusions about the region, perpetuated by Trump who somehow believes he can force Iran to bend to his will.
American officials justified the strike by saying Soleimani was developing plans to attack American interests, but legal experts questioned it. But "he has taken the practice to a new level of lawlessness. Ukraine 'bombshell'. The Soleimani killing grabbed headlines hours after news broke of a previously redacted email linking President Donald Trump directly to the controversial withholding of congressionally approved lethal aid from Ukraine, the matter at the heart of the impeachment articles voted by the House.
He doesn't. The more we learn, the guiltier he looks. That's why he blocks every release of information, blacks out key pieces in court-ordered document releases.
When the New York Times reported that three top administration officials tried in vain to talk Trump out of withholding the Ukraine aid, Elie Honig warned, "this is a cover-up, unfolding right before us. It is precisely because of the crucial missing evidence that we need a real trial in the Senate.
That trial is on hold, awaiting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision on when to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate. Alongside his name, phrases like Franz Ferdinand and World War Three have been trending, with plenty of mentions for the man who ordered the strike - President Donald Trump. So here's a quick guide on what's trending and why:. Qasem Soleimani was sometimes touted as a future Iranian president, but in many ways his position was even more powerful.
As the leader of an elite unit of the country's military, he was responsible for expanding Iran's influence across the entire Middle East. He led military operations in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. He was a hugely influential figure abroad and with almost rock-star status among many people in his home country.
But the US has called the commander and his military force "terrorists" and holds them responsible for the deaths of hundreds of US personnel. His death has provoked huge anger in Iran and worries internationally about what might happen next. No, this doesn't have anything to do with the Scottish rock band. Plenty of parallels are being drawn between the death of General Soleimani and another killing years ago. He was assassinated by an 18 year-old Bosnian activist who was furious that the country had been taken over by the Archduke's empire.

The war itself spread into Africa and the Middle East with the ACMFs advances having been ground to a halt and the war being a general stalemate. Before the beginning of Pre-war major events that would lead up to the War itself, major friction was already starting to boil before the events even occurred.
It was mostly ever building tension ever since the end of the Cold War and the rise of new powers like China. Situations like the Arab Spring put an already bad situation worse with the Syrian and Iraqi Civil Wars both being proxy wars between the U.
