Arabian royal not punished for a murder

Almost three years back, in 2018, a journalist named Jamal Khashoggi was murdered. After an investiagion it turned out that he was killed on command of Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The prince hasn't even been charged yet and there weren't any sanctions for what he did. The White House stands by its decision on not to directly sanction the royal. That caused a growth of criticism through the people. Many human rights groups and some senior democrats started to express their disagreement on the news that the White House spokesperson stood by te move not to target the crown prince in an interview on Sunday. The White Hause also says that they don't want to weaken their relationship with Saudis as they have five military bases there.

In my opinion a murder should be punished no matter who did it and at what position they are. The crown prince should be put to court and charged as a normal person, no one special. Everyone are equal before the law and the fact that he has royal blood should't change anything.

    Of course, but what do you do when the murder was committed by Saudis in Turkey (not Americans in the US), and the victim was also only partly an American citizen? You can't put Mohammed bin Salman in front of an American jury.
    You could of course impose sanctions and generally ostracise the country. But the US is too cynical to cut their business and military off the oil, money and regional influence of the Saudis.

Dangers hidden behind taking supplements

 Although taking diatery supplements can have a very good effects on our health and our performance during training, we can't be ignorant to the fact that by midless use of supplements can badly affect our health. Taking supplements is not so simple as many people could think, as overdosing or mixing wrong supplements can bring much harm to our body. A great example is a vitamin all of us know - vitamin D. Too much of this vitamin can harm our kidneys(kidney stones) or cause muscle pain. Overdosing calcium isn't a good idea either. Calcium is connected with vitamin D, as if we take too much calcium without adequate vitamin D to help absorb it, the extra calcium settles in the arteries instead of the bones. Many specialists say, that excessive usage of creatine can result in dehydration as well as kidney damage. What's more, it can worsen the symptoms of people who suffer with asthma. Although taking supplements can improve our performance and our health, overdosing it may h...

The war with Habsburgs and the siege of Vienna 1529

 After nearly doubling its size Ottoman Empire was hungry for more land. Their next step would be pushing forwards to central Europe, thus, it was inevitable they had to face with the Habsburg dynasty of Austria. Any further expansion into Europe wouldn't be possible without defeating the Hungarian king Louis II. Sultan Suleiman I achieved it in the battle of Mohacs in 1526,where the Hungarian king was killed. The Ottomans anexed half of Hungarian territory. After that Hungarian nobility elected two different kings : John Zapolya, who was from Hungary and the Archduke of Austria, Ferdinand I. Ferdinand swiftly started to gain control over the western part of Hungary, thus, starting to share borders with the Ottomans. Ferdinand attacked John Zapolya, who was defeated and ran to Poland. Suleiman I couldn't tolerate that. He mastered a giant army and marched towards the Habsburg territory. The sultan regained Hungarian territory and gave it back to John Zapolya. Then he marched to...

Ottoman Empire and its culture, technological advancement

My sources :  https://www.history.com/topics/middle-east/ottoman-empire                           http://factsanddetails.com/asian/cat65/sub424/entry-5259.html  There are many factors which led to the raise of Ottomans. Their country was ruled firmly and had straight political goal - to get more powerful. Ottomans had a uniform law system and welcomed different types of art, literature and most importantly, religion.  Some may say that as they were muslim, they didn't accept any types of culture and religion different than theirs, but it's not true. They used a millet system, which gave non-muslim inhabitants a limited amount of power in their minority groups, but still under the Ottoman rule. There are many examples of Ottoman wealth and power gained by conquering so many lands in Europe, but in my opinion the best and the most magificent is the Topkapi palace which was the dwelling place for Otto...
