No i did not receive the link via message, but i have been able to access it now.(before it said not found). Good write up, surprised i did not know some of these things, especially the part about the election "yes and no" options. The actions of USA do not surprise me at all, infact it is quite typical of them. Please can you provide more sources so i can read about the details of the election?
