LMAOSusan Rice is one of the reasons we should be thankful that Vlad Putin is in charge.
This isn't new background info. Syria suffered drought for several years, which drove rural people to the city looking for work, which put a strain on the social structure, et cetera.
Everything has causes, and they're usually complex.
Of course it may be new info for the TV mentality....
There's an itty bitty teensy weensy link at the bottom of the OP.Link/reference?
Breitbart.
“In the years prior to civil war breaking out in Syria, that country also experienced its worst drought on record,” she said during a political speech at Stanford University. “Farming families moved en masse into urban centers, increasing political unrest and further priming the country for conflict.”
I have not clicked and read the article but technically that is actually true. Syrian farmers, after fours years of drought, moved into the cities because they could no longer feed their families and the Syrian government did nothing to help the people. The cities became overcrowded, which starts civil strife, and then the city dwellers and the farmers demand the government aid the people. Assad did nothing, so they rebelled. A four year drought is not normal in case you are wondering. I suggest you do some research and enlighten yourself before making yourself look foolish online."In her 'most dramatic speech to date' about climate change, National Security Advisor Susan Rice suggests climate change was partially responsible for the conflict in Syria and represents a looming threat to the entire world."
The site is not letting me copy and paste it, but she clearly states drought has led to the violence. As if there never has been a drought in world history.Another Brietbart.com hit piece to get the "faithful idiots" something to spread about like manure! For those with a bit of curiosity and favor truth, Rice's speech can be read here:
Remarks by National Security Advisor Susan E. Rice on Climate Change and National Security at Stanford University - As Prepared for Delivery
Syria is mentioned TWICE in the entire address at Stanford University as posted on the WH website! Brietbart took a portion of one paragraph completely out of context in their usual manner of propagating propaganda. Damn disgusting of them and those useful idiots who spread these obvious distortions!
TECHNICALLY it's NOT true. It was Rice's premise that drought caused people to move closer to one another and FORCED them into conflict. Climate Change - Drought - may have caused them to MOVE, but it was their religious / political / customs / etc differences that caused the tension, division, and eventual rebellion and war....NOT Climate ChangeI have not clicked and read the article but technically that is actually true.
