But Vet, don’t we rank #1 in contributions to international mosque building projects?
You know, the Saudis, Sunnis and Shiites just need a little `hand-up,’ so we just float another loan from the PRC.

FU. I don’t like his WHITE Commie half, EITHER! :)
What was that most recent TEN TRILLION of indebtedness for?
What planet is that idiot from?
Zen Buddhists are supposed to be laid back and “cool.” This guy is just a bigoted, arrogant, ignorant asshole.
the government has plenty of money. It just needs to prioritize its expenditures and eliminate the least necessary (practically all of them)

Real credible, no agenda at all.
I guess leftists would probably lump Texas with Mexico too, lol
Another thing, many of those (Korea, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong) are tiny or city-states. Easy to have great infrastructure in such a small area. We are a huge country.
Yes. I noticed that as well.
And notice they refer to Hong Kong simply as Hong Kong SAR with the Hong Kong flag.
