Welcome to the monkey house, V.V. As an outsider looking in to a mostly American cultural treescape it may be somewhat perplexing.....but one thing is universal....political dunderheads are much the same the world over....whether it be an Australian Prime Minister, an American POTUS, or a Trần Đại Quang. I hope you are covering your browsing tracks....this is a particularly subversive website, and there are those, closer to home, who would be taking much interest in your interests. Remember OPSEC!
