500+ terminal patients treated. Published in Europe's top medical journals.
The next time someone tells you sanctions work, show them this.
Unironically, one of the best things that could ever happen to Nigeria is being sanctioned and prevented from importing things.

We need to get sanctioned ASAP

I've never seen a more unfuckable group of half-men before.
The "rules" being: when Germany ran one of the world's largest trade surpluses for decades it was called "competitiveness," but when China does it it's "unfair overcapacity."
I'm not even exaggerating, in substance it's basically his stance.
The kind of things you do if Trump assures you that Iran's ballistic missiles would be obliterated after the War
