ISIS (Islamic State) and the different interests in the Middle East region- the U.S. under the Obama administration, Turkey under Erdogan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia under Putin and Iran under Khamanei in 2015-2016
10/16/2015
Turkey's Erdogan is fighting PKK and Kurds, as he faces domestic opposition with Kurdish parties doing well in the recent election, Israel is focussed on Iran's growing influence, the Saudis in protecting Sunni interests and limiting Iranian influence, the U.S. under the Obama administration focussed on limiting the U.S. involvement to an extraordinary degree, and Putin supporting the Iranian government.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
