WHAT TO SAY WHEN YOUR COMPANY HIRES SOMEONE YOU DON’T LIKE…
President Obama knows how that feels. Yesterday, Venezuela got a rotating seat at the UN Security Council, despite previous attempts by the US to keep the country in the corner. Though Venezuela has a place-card at the table for two years, it doesn’t have veto power like the five permanent countries in the council (US, UK, France, China, Russia). So this is a temporary, but significant soapbox for the country to stand on in the coming years. President Obama and Venezuelan President Maduro see eye-to-eye on…nothing…and the US isn’t into his socialist policies. On the flip side, Maduro’s accused Obama of trying to assassinate him. So everyone’s super excited. Want to stay informed on global affairs, but having a tough time making it through long articles? Try The Skimm. Here is an example of one of their articles:THE MIDEAST
THE STORY Yesterday, the US-led coalition stepped up airstrikes against ISIS in a key Syrian city on the border of Turkey. And Turkey did some striking of its own, but not on ISIS. EXPLAIN. For weeks, the Syrian city of Kobani has been in danger of falling to ISIS. If that happens, the Islamic militant group would have control of a huge part of the Turkey-Syria border. Not good. But Turkey won’t get in the fight, and everyone’s annoyed. WHY NOT? Because Kobani is controlled by Syrian Kurds – a semi-autonomous ethnic group that’s primarily in Iraq and Turkey. It’s believed that some Syrian Kurds may have ties to a Turkish group called the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which goes by the nickname PKK, and which Turkey and the US consider a terrorist group. Turkey and the PKK have had a long history of violence that finally ended two years ago. But yesterday, Turkey hit the PKK with airstrikes, claiming they had attacked military outposts. The PKK says nope, Turkey’s the one that broke the cease-fire. |
