Borat tried to make Kazakhstan look stupid, when in fact they are vastly more intelligent than the US government.

The movers and shakers of the global oil and gas industry, currently in Astana for a trade conference, now have no reason to fear Kazakhstan might go green on them.

President Nursultan Nazarbayev’s son-in-law, Timur Kulibayev, has pointed out that he’s prioritizing short-term profit over long-term environmental concerns.

Biden will take a different strategy. He will simply make up facts as he goes along, and hope that Ryan is unprepared to deal with a full time pathological liar.
