In both Europe and Asia we see over 200 people have died on each continent, but both for completely different reasons.
In Eastern Europe, temperatures pushing minus 40 degrees celcius have caused the death of over 200 via hypothermia,frostbite, cold and flu and, naturally, have caused major disruptions; Ukraine has seen the worst of it with the death count over 120 while Poland follows with over 40,Romania and Bulgaria have over 20 and 10 deaths respectively. As well as the aforementioned countries even Western European countries such as Italy,Austria,Greece,Germany,Belgium,France and the UK and Ireland are starting to feel it.
More than 80% of the river Danube between Bulgaria and Romania has been frozen while thousands of schools have been shut. Rome in particular came to a standstill from the first snowfall in 15 years and parts of Venice's river were frozen. Belgium had over 1100km of cars delayed and Siberia,Ukraine,Poland and Romania have officially declared a state of emergency. Thousands have been admitted to hospital from symptoms related to cold weather.
If we go Southeast into the Middle East and Arab Africa, the Arab springs are still raging strong in Egypt, Yemen and Syria. All three countries have a lot of Al-Qaeda links (Osama bin Laden was a Yemeni raised in Saudi Arabia and the second-in-command Ayam Al-Zawahiri was an Egyptian) , the latter two in particular, are backed by Iran (an openley anti-American nuclear power),have poor human rights issues (Sharia law being absolute in Yemen while in most states in Syria and Egypt) and are openley against Israel;particularly in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that was INITIATED by the Arabs (Egypt was low-key after defeat during the Six Day war initiated by Israel and had opened up for tourism).
In Egypt over 80 people have been killed in fresh riots since the 3rd February after football team Al-Masry beat top team Al-Ahly 3-1; the pitch was stormed and over 70 were killed on that day alone. Egypt has slowly been stabilising since February 2011 after Hosni Mubarak's departure but hiccups such as this and the Israeli Embassy attack on 9th September 2011 (3 dead, over 1000 wounded) have added to the death count of over 900 since 25th January 2011.
In the Syrian city of Homs over 200 people were killed over the past few days after the government opened fire and bombed on civilians. Between 5500 and 7100 have died since the 15th March 2011 while Yemen follows with a death count of 1784-1870 since 27th January 2011.
The USA, UK, France, Germay and even Tunisia have called on the U.N Approval to storm Syria and overthrow its government but Russia and China have vetoed it!
It is time to storm Syria and Egypt without China and Russia before they are completely lost to the likes of nations such as Pakistan and Iran and end up trying to nuke Israel.
