The US wants IP laws so it can protect it's innovation. The rest of the Western world agrees. The US is also more likely to maintain human rights, which China absolutely does not care about. I would much rather the US be top dog tha

We know the US is working on hypersonic weapons. It makes a lot of sense to put that same technology in a reusable UAS. This doesn't seem like such a stretch as to be instantly dismissed. I would take reports about it with a grain of

If it wasn't as economical to do it because you couldn't sell the meat produced that way, less of it would be cut down because they couldn't make money that way. In other words, it's their only resource, but it's on

Independence of Mongolia maybe talking about "Inner Mongolia," which has ten times as many people as the country of Mongolia. My guess with the Palestine piece is the "Muslim terrorists" in Xinjiang would be interested i

Mongolia has a lot of copper, coal, and significant deposits of gold and other raw materials. Mostly, it's the Russians and Chinese that mine it, so that don't really have a reason to invade at this point.

But you would have a lower payment because you bought at a lower rate, no?

That's not how natural disasters work. It's a complex system that interacts with a bunch of other stuff. It's like asking which pregnancies were caused by a lack of sex education. There's too many variables to label sp

Still sounds like more hurricanes because if the increased intensity of cyclones, no?

Climate change is an evidence based assertion that makes verified predictions and is widely accepted by the scientific community. God meets none of these criteria.

If you are talking about significance, you are taking that quote completely out of context. There's a reason we give people two doses, but this study only looked at one dose and still found an effect. It didn't reach the technical
