“It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion,” Smith writes in the 1,000-page-plus tome, which draws on everything from ​grape-growing to pin factories. “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable,” he says in one of his best-known quotes.

Well yes you can when you become an Iranian citizen. How about the Donnie boy?

The article is wrong. He got the uranium from mines in Burma. He was trying to sell it elsewhere. It’s the same area where the ethnic rebels are mining rare earths.

I’m sure he’s now in some mile-deep bunker.

Is that the regime change Trump and Netanyahoo wanted?

It benefits China strategically and economically. Long term military wise, if Russia remains an active land mass threat to Europe, much of Europe and US will build a military for armed land conflict in Europe while leaving their strategic initiatives in the Pacific and Indian ocean underinvested leaving China to grow its power there. In the same way China is using Pakistan and the occasional skirmish in the useless high altitude Himalayas to keep India’s military focused on building a land-based military while leaving Indian ocean and its naval fleets underinvested.

This is a story worth watching. She has a pending jail sentence which the establishment can use against her anytime they wish.

This is the evil axis.

The military regime in Myanmar is attempting to legitimize their coup and rule through a sham election process where all the opposition parties had been outlawed and political leaders had been put in jail or killed. It is important that the world condemn their actions and not recognize the regime and its leadership as legitimate rulers of Myanmar.

Communists have been driving homogenization of China under Han Chinese culture since they took over. It is pervasive through out society not just in politics and governing but also in academia. This is what they are doing to Mongolians who still have their own independent sovereign country. Imagine what they’ve done and are doing to Tibetans, and others under their rule.

THIS is wrong on OMG so many levels!!! This violates a zillion international laws! Fucking Trump is ushering in the most dangerous world since the start of 20th century.

Man the whole world needs to stand up to Trump and US.

This is a disgusting lawless action by a convicted felon who deserves to face trial for war crimes.

Musk is spending BILLIONS for this? LMAO.

Corruption is ingrained in former Soviets.

In this day and age of GPS, there’s no excuse for them to be in another FREAKIN COUNTRY. Just complete morons.

Doesn’t this sound alarmingly like Tennessee man who got arrested and held in jail for more than a month for posting an internet meme? Of course Myanmar is a military dictatorship, while the US is supposedly the world’s leading free democracy.

FLAKE! SNOW FLAKE!

But but but they launched their face into my fist says the bully.

your name, Xulai is Chinese isn’t it? You need to be more clever about faking yourself as a “Westerner” Chinese bot.
