What's her name? This sounds like a fun story to share on a Dutch website :p 

Ratna Sarumpaet.. Perhaps the biggest joke of the year in term of Indonesian political drama.

They've proved that they're difinetely the most stupid regime and intelligence , by killing a very soft opposer to Saudi's regime in their consulate , even in a low budget movie they'd have killed him by accident , a car accident , a suicide attempt , etc , and also proved that they're liers first they said he has left the consulate after 20 min. Of his entrance , then oh no he was killed by accident in the consulate

Who told u that they're leader country of Sunni ? There is no even such a thing called leader of Sunnis , KSA is just a place that has relegious importance for Muslims all Muslims not only Sunnis not anything more , btw the war in Yemen is a conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran of whom will control Yemen that's it the Innocent Yemeni people are the ones that pay the price high at the end

I read many times that from specialist of international politicis, all from west i admit, and Iran is the leader of the shiites (i dont believe there are many doubts with this).

I know Yemen is parte of the "arabian cold war" between both part of Islam.

They're one of the main players in the middle east ofc due to their money and oil , but a leader i don't think so , there're no wars between Sunnis and Shiaas , at least the Saudi's regime doesn't pretend to call them selves relegious one nowadays , it's just a conflict of control between the 2 countries and even the main reason for the existence of Saudis and their alliances in Yemen is Tramp who used King Salman desire to make his son the crown prince as a very effective card to put pressure over Iran in several ways

That's not really true as thepharoah said. Iranian regime just supports some selected shiite groups only because they ask for help. they also support Hamas (which is Sunni) and it seems some people just don't know there is a huge population of Sunnis living in Iran. they also support Bashar Assad blindly who believes in a completely different religion.

 

40 years ago right after the revolution yeah they were thinking about becoming the leader of muslim world , (they were idealistic and indeed stupid).  that's what they call, you should know in Iranian media they rarely (or almost never) separate Sunni and Shiite. they just call them all Islamic countries.

 

the tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia existed way before the Islamic revolution in Iran. this is not only religious. Saudi Arabia (alongside Netanyahu in Israel) just dreams about the breakup of Iran and now with Trump in office they think this is the best time to put maximum pressure on Iran. I never ever support most actions of the current regime in Iran and I hope to see them change one day in my lifetime but only in this case this is Saudi Arabia wanting conflict not Iran. they want to push USA into war with Iran, they could achieved that already if a Iran had another president in office. Iran's strategy is probably just stalling and hoping for Trump not winning the next election. they have no Plan B if it doesn't happen.I don't know what will happen but one thing is for sure that Iran won't surrender to Trump's demands. not an option, Iran is not North Korea where only one person decides about everything. the politics in Iran is way too complicated.

    • grab the final men’s quota so arguably the top two favourites on each side qualified 
    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
