Statistics reveal a growing concern among Taiwanese, with 70% expressing doubts about their ability to fend off a hostile neighbor. In Estonia, the Narva river, swollen by melting snows, separates the Hermann Castle in Narva from the Ivangorod Fortress in Russia. Two giant screens on the Russian side were set to display a parade in Red Square on May 9th, commemorating victory in World War II. This event, featuring drums and goose-stepping soldiers, is likely to heighten anxiety in Estonia, a country annexed by Stalin in 1940 and occupied by the Soviet Union from 1944 to 1991. Meanwhile, global dynamics show other countries increasingly relying on African youth as their populations age.

May 9 This shit needs to end. We keep defending ourselves and not attacking anyone on the other side of the border because the neighbor uses their own civilians as human shields 30,000 feet of the ground. Despicable.

9h Or, here is a crazy idea, Don’t send terrorists and there wouldn’t be a 1 stone hurled from this side of the border.
We have 7 other neighbors, 5 of them share a land border with us, 4 of them are disputed. The grand total of total bullets fired in the past 30 years is 0.

May 2 Be VERY careful what you wish for when you beat the drums of war. Because this is how your neighborhood will look if you’re on the wrong side of a determined attack.

India is in a volatile neighborhood — with two nuclear-armed, hostile neighbors. We are not in a peaceful zone. Permanent preparedness, not episodic outrage, must define our national security doctrine.

May 9 Historically, Cdns have viewed their southern neighbours with a level of camaraderie rarely seen elsewhere in the world. From the longest unguarded border on the planet to deeply interconnected economies, Cdns have seldom expressed long-lasting negativity toward the U.S.

12h People are so emotionally charged here. Logically we have to know that we are not like our “neighbours” and the army is still defending us. Giving into the offense is what our “neighbour” wants.
