Consider that other people have different experiences of things. The TFA link doesn't work for me (it appears to, but then it forces me to register to keep reading) and the archive link just required a standard captcha.

All you had to do was westernize your economy, hand your infrastructure to global capital, and open your markets

Do that, and just like Syria, you'll become "partners"
