If anything, it makes the current conflict even worse: Not only have gazans been forced to suffer from israeli occupation, they have also been systematically oppressed by Hamas and now they're being slaughtered for their sake. I wouldn't be surprised if this pushed more people towards Hamas or other terrorist organizations in the long run.
When making an international organization without having the means or the desire to force everyone to join and follow the rules, you have to compromise to make certain states (especially the powerful ones) participate willingly.
I have a slight worry that pardoning Snowden would result in his disappearance/death since Putin would no longer have any use for him. Right now they are protecting someone who is considered an enemy of the US government and has embarrassed the US intelligence apparatus, if that changes then he no longer fills a purpose for the Russian government.
I want Snowden to be home free but right now I think he's in a precarious situation.
No, your take is like saying that capitalism is an infallible system, searching for evidence that capitalism is infallible, not finding any, then concluding that it's just the internet being brainwashed by leftists.
Even worse, in the cases where there are buckets with cat litter in a school, it's for active school shooter situations (about halfway down, where Columbine is mentioned).
Personally, I think this is the greatest thing that could happen for this country and international democracy as a whole.
Not if he wins. If he wins, it could very well be the end of democracy not just in the US but also in countries that are unlucky enough to border Russia or China. Would probably embolden the slide towards fascism in India as well.
That's without even mentioning the irreversible damage that would be caused to the climate.
How do you make it work? I've been in a few but after a while the heartache from missing them gets unbearable.
