Mexico!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/mexico/


As many know, there has been a drug war going on for years in Mexico.  Because of the Cartel, going to Mexico has become more dangerous.  I have family in Mexico right now and they live in fear every day.  My aunt and her family went to Cancun last summer and they didn't take anything that associated them to being tourists.   What those in the drug cartels would do, in order to send drugs undetected was they would kill tourists and stuff the bodies with the drugs.

They link above has many articles that have to do with the cartels.  For intense, " A man who died in a shootout in western Michoacan state "has been identified as Nazario Moreno," also known as "El Chayo," a government official said ahead of a press conference set to take place at 7:00pm (0100 GMT Monday).
The previous Mexican government reported that Moreno, a leader of the La Familia cartel, was killed in December 2010. But his body was never located and reported sightings fuelled speculation he was alive. 
All signs point to this being 'El Chayo,'" a government official had said earlier on condition of anonymity about the suspect." (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/mexico/10686935/Mexico-confirms-killing-of-dead-drug-lord.html)

When you look up the term deficit in the dictionary, it says: the amount by which a sum of money falls short of the required amount./the amount by which expenditures or liabilities exceed income or assets/a lack or shortage; deficiency. a disadvantage, impairment, or handicap/a loss, as in the operation of a business.

In this article it is shown that India is seeking for more Chinese investments to bring into the country. They are seeking to expand to "bridge the ballooning $35  billion trade deficit."
It also says that , "China-India bilateral trade dipped to $66.5 billion last year and India has been asking China to boost investments to bridge the trade deficit. "

China

In this article there is a comparison between the human rights in Korea to Nazi  Germany.  It was said that China would not back up the report on North Korea. 

"The Chinese diplomat, Chen Chuandong, has now gone further by questioning the credibility of the report and making it all but certain that Beijing was prepared to veto any resolution at the Security Council.
"The inability of the commission to get support and co-operation from the country concerned made it impossible for the commission to carry out its mandate in an impartial, objective and effective manner," he said."
How do you feel on Human rights in general?

Russia

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26515049

In this post about Russia, I found an article in content about how Russian soldiers have seized a hospital in Crimea.  This hospital is where Ukrainian soldiers and veterans are held and treated. Some of the patients in the hospital are apparently very sick.  With 30 "claimed Russian" soldiers keeping the hospital hostage, how are they going to cure these said sickly veterans and soldiers?

"Step-by-step, and meeting very little resistance, the pro-Russian troops are dismantling Ukraine's ability to resist in Crimea, reports the BBC's Christian Fraser, who is in the region.
Moscow has officially denied that its troops are taking part in the blockades, describing armed men with no insignia as Crimea's "self-defence" forces."

According to the military, the gunmen took an open fire on a group on protestors.
Things like this are scary.  Who would want to live in a world like that? No one.  And what is there to say when gunmen are taking hostage people in a hospital for veterans and soldiers who in desperate need to be cared for?
