Found this in an article about Brexit...
Mostly about Syria, but it asks a great question:
orathaic (1009 D(B))
08 Aug 16 UTC
"After the wide spread criticism of their economic arguments, the ‘immigration problem’ has come to form the major foundation of much of the Leave campaign’s rhetoric. Let’s start with the Syrian crisis, why is it that we cared enough about these people to try and make them in to a democracy — via our usual route of teaming up with America and bombing the right to vote in to them — but not enough to try and help them when the assorted turds hit the fan? We were an instrumental part of turning Syria in to the war torn hell hole it is today with a short term and vague bombing program, and we should be instrumental in helping the people suffering for our cowboy approach to diplomacy."

Easy. Because the West did not intervene in Syria out ofnany concern about democracy. The West intervened in Syria to destabilise an ally of Russia.

The Western governments involved in bombing Syria could not give a shot about the Syrian people.

Ok, but do you think there were people propoganding that this was a good intervention, because of the given reasons.

And if so, can we go on to assume that they believe this selling point is worth mentioning, ie members of the public actually do care about the Syrian people?

I mean, obviously not all members of the public. But enough to make it worth using in the propoganda?

Hmm I doubt it. If I look at my own little European country in relation to Ukraine for instance at the time of the annexation, I didn't hear anyone about the "poor Ukrainians".

It seems the public wants justification for the sake of justification, not because they actually care about the people. They just wish to be convinced that we're the good guys.

This is actually an interesting perspective for the 'immigration problem' as well: if the public at large can still be convinced we're the good guys if we don't help refugees, perhaps we don't see any reason to help them anymore.

After all, we're still the good guys if we don't, right?

Clinton would in all likelihood continue to pursue Obama's pivot toward China. I imagine she'll be more aggressive with that.

I can't figure out what Obama's pivot towards China means concretely.

It basically means isolating China economically and diplomatically my increasing ties of China's neighboring countries with the US and by inciting tension between China and its neighbors. Its goal, of course, is to weaken China to ensure USA remains the sole superpower.

Is there a bug for certain convoys?
It was not even me making the move but I did witness a unit get convoyed with a support and all the game said was (fail). The opposing unit moved into the territory where the support was coming from. That is supposed to allow the unit getting convoyed to win is it not?

Joining Games with CDs
I've noticed that while the "Joinable" button says that there are ~45 games to join, the server only shows me 1 or 2 of those games. Have you also experienced this problem?

Also, share your favorite joining a CD stories if you have them, if that's even a thing :)

Question about available retreating options
The game is at http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=181409.

Turkey has dislodged Russia's F Rum. In that same turn, F Rum-Bla bounced off F Ank-Bla. Why does Russia have the options to submit a retreat order?
