      I would suppose it’s pro independence / sovereignty, but that’s generally a no-no topic

    Yes, USAid dried up FFS. It was nothing about democracy but again, regime change or an attempt at that scenario.

    I now feel what all those poor Hong Kongers felt a few years back. Seeing this just makes me feel so damn hopeless.
