Till your post mentioned it, I hadn't realized it's been that long. I
don't like to write an article unless I can contribute something
meaningful from the point of view of Generational Dynamics, and since
March 27, there's been only one news story -- the pandemic -- and I've
been writing stuff about that regularly in the forum in the
"Generational Dynamics World View News" thread.
So let's look at the last article that I posted on the main web site:
** 27-Mar-20 World View -- Coronavirus pandemic threatens 3.5 million people in Syria's Idlib
** http://www.generationaldynamics.com/pg/x...tm#e200327
I've written about the Idlib situation many times. Bashar al-Assad's
army is conducting genocide and ethnic cleansing of Sunni Muslims in
Islam, and is pushing 3.5 million people, mostly children, toward the
closed border with Turkey, expecting to force Turkey's Erdogan to open
the border, who would then arrange for them to pour into Europe.
All of that should have been well on its way by this time, and I
probably would have written one or two articles about it. But thanks
to Covid-19, everything has stopped, since all sides are frozen with
fear about a "coronavirus tsunami" affecting both Idlib and Damascus.
One interesting new development is that thousands of displaced people
who left their homes and fled to camps near the border with Turkey are
now returning to their former homes. They feel that their former
homes are safer than a crowded refugee camp where a Covid-19 would
spread quickly. I assume that in their former homes and villages,
they would be practicing "social distancing" and "self-isolation."
