Still think brain regions don’t exist? That everything is everywhere? That cell types don’t matter and that everything is a dynamical phase portrait?
Wrong.

United States has been blocking with France the UN-led referendum to decide the fate of Western Sahara since it was agreed in the 1991 armistice.
United States has pushing for this for 34 years, always opposing end to the occupation.
And 50 years of brutal military occupation is not 'funny'.

This is the absolutely most outrageous decision from the UN by far. They favor terror over peace and corrupt, primitive oligarchies over democracies.
They support Morocco just because there has been much money to be gained through stealing from Sahrawis. Fucking disgusting.
