Ambassador, you are having the Bio illegitimate government play you for a fool for whatever reasons. The US talked tough when the election was stolen, but then you folded and did nothing. Now you just had the internal affairs minister, who’s ministry heads up law rnforcement in the country and he looked you straight in the eyes and said they are fighting narcotic trafficking, when the government and the illegitimate president are the major drug dealers in the country. Since Trump has no interest in giving aid to foreign countries, we are going to do what you won’t do. We will publicize Maada Bio’s thievery and drug dealing in letters to the US government. At least half the Millenial Compact of over 400 million will be stolen, they have no business getting their hands on the money. We will make sure they don’t.
