Thanks, Bill. Strange to see people who stand up for Palestinian autonomy throw in with Russia.

People think crazy , ridiculous things in order to appear smarter than the rest of us. It's not really working. But I had no idea there are Russian influenced TV stations in Beruit and that western politicians go there for interviews. Seems like desperate stuff, alright.

You mentioned Taiwan. I've always wondered about that place given that they were trying to obtain independence after WWII and Chiang's mainland KMT govt imposed harsh controls on the island, killing and jailing thousands. When the CCP was clearly going to win, the KMT basically occupied Taiwan. The CCP definitely shouldn't be in control of Taiwan but I sometimes wonder if the ROC should be there either. Nowadays the mainlanders clearly outnumber the native Taiwanese but I'm reminded of our own dealing with American Indians.
