    It is impressive, I just have to say! Many dumb Americans, including myself, have no clue what's going on in other countries.

      @89th This board in its topics is pretty diverse, but for politics, the focus is (mostly) on the US.

      I am not native born but a US citizen also, so it is interesting.

      The US influence and power is much greater than its population % as compared to the world total population.

      Plus, I guess I just like current events. LOL

      I wasn’t aware that you had become a US citizen.

      I had always been under the impression you were working for the Taiwanese foreign service in various postings as a commercial officer.

        I figured either that or an international org like world bank, un, etc.

        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

          I could see an IFI like the Asian Development Bank as well.

            I figured she was engaged in some kind of espionage.

            And I'm about 70% sure that she might be Jolly.

                For many years I have assumed that @taiwan_girl is a US citizen working for the State Department. :man-shrugging:

                I have no insider information to back that up, just an impression I have developed from reading her posts here.

                    She has an extraordinary web of spies and informants, which rivals even my own.

                            How many people actually vote for the Vice President? I guess it is quite a very small %.

                            (It may be more important to people voting for President Biden this time however.)

                              Considering the actuarial data for longevity with respect to Trump and POTATUS, the choice of a vice-president would seem to be unusually important this go-around.

                              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                You'd like to have someone who would ideally bring something to the table, preferably from a swing state.

                                  Indeed, Kamala Harris consistently underwhelms most everyone whenever she speaks. Her near hysterical bleating over the situation in Gaza yesterday was just obsequious insincerity in the form of bad theatre.

                                    I could see Trump giving Gabbard, Nikki Haley’s old job as US Ambassador to the U.N.. In that way she be under leash to the Sectretary of State whoever that is, although I would not be the least bit surprised to see Trump bring back Mike Pompeo in the top diplomat role.

                                    Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday did not rule out accepting a position from former President Trump in a second administration, if he’s reelected in November.

                                    Asked by Fox News’s Neil Cavuto if he would consider working under Trump again, Pompeo said it was “flattering” to hear that his name has come up
