We can thank Trump for making a deal with the Taliban. The Trump administration agreed to withdraw from the country by May 1, 2021, if the Taliban negotiated a peace agreement with the Afghan government. Mr. Trump never believed Afghanistan was wo…

I agree that RMI has more than its share of corruption. The best way to fight it, in my opinion, is to vote for senators and mayors and city council members who will stop the corruption.
-
visafree, the RMI Attorney General (Richard Hickson) is from Australia, not the U.S.
-
Well said, visafree. Corruption, especially at the top, will continue to destroy the RMI until it is confronted and rooted out once and for all. In my view, the U.S. must stop fueling the corruption by better monitoring the millions in Compact fu…
-
Unlike the U.S., the RMI does not have three 'separate-but-equal' branches of government. It is only one branch - the Nitijela - that chooses one of its own members to be the president and that can remove the president with a simple vote of no conf…

I'm pretty sure that Reaper is actually Donald Trump, Jr.
-
Fans of Donald Trump - Reaper, for example - should be very happy that the U.S. military has now departed Afghanistan, as Trump promised the Taliban last year that the U.S. would do. The fact is, President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trum…

I agree, visafree. As the old saying goes, "Use it or lose it."
-
The reason it's called the Compact of FREE Association is that both countries in a compact agreement VOLUNTARILY choose to sign it, and either side can voluntarily end it if they so choose.
-
Good point, visafree. FSM is also obligated under the Compact.

-
Well said, visafree. Who needs vaccines? Just about everyone in the world.
-
The greatest risk of transmission is among UNVACCINATED people who are much more likely to contract, and therefore transmit the virus.
-
Yup. Seems to happen about once every year or so. Annual maintenance?

ABC Radio Australia on Facebook - July 29 at 8:46 PM · The Federated States of Micronesia has become one of the first nations to adopt mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations. Everyone in the western Pacific country over the age of 18 will be requi…
-
Clearly, China would be wise not to provoke the U.S. by hindering free passage of ships on the high seas, or by interfering with legitimate USCG operations in Micronesia's territorial waters.

Battleships have gone the way of the dinosaurs...they are basically extinct. While the Coast Guard cutters are not equipped with missiles, they do have some powerful machine guns. If the cutters ever need help, significant US Navy and US Air Force…

Reaper has been determined to destroy this forum by flooding it with Trumpaganda for the past 5 years. He cannot accept that his hero lost the 2020 election... and lost it big time. The Reaper is now The Weeper...cry, cry, cry. Looks like he wil…
-
I hope Reaper gets some help for his mental illness. His babbling is getting more and more bizzarre...just like his master, DT.
-
Reaper, please get the mental health help you obviously need.

From my point of view, global warming is a threat to everyone on this planet regardless of ethnicity or citizenship. I have lived and worked for many years in the RMI, in the FSM, and in the U.S. All three countries are negatively affected by glob…
-
SC, can you tell us why a prosecutor can still file charges even if a grand jury refuses to indict? I'm not a lawyer and am not taking sides here. I just wonder what is the purpose of a grand jury if a prosecutor can overrule their decision.
-
Good for the FSM leadership. This money should go to the poorest among us. In the RMI, many people are unhappy that much of the pandemic assistance money is going to large businesses and their friends, including politicians. The money is not goin…
-
I hope EVERY country signs this agreement. Just as importantly, I hope the agreement is actually implemented and enforced. Too many of these "international agreements" are just empty words on paper.
-
Quiz time: Which major countries are NOT listed as signers?
-
-
Yes, drinking the Orange Kool Aid can destroy your soul, as the Grim Reaper demonstrates every time he posts his unwelcome Trumpaganda here.
-
Meanwhile, Reaper's hero is very busy.
-
Trump was "aggressive" with China? Hardly. More like he kowtowed to China. Just like he was "aggressive" with Russia? lol He was Putin's puppet. Still is, actually.
-
After four years of Trump encouraging racism and white supremacy, most Americans wholeheartedly welcome President Biden's exemplary leadership. Biden puts humanity first.
-
American voters decided that Covid-19 is real and that Donald Trump was a hoax president. America's Department of Justice, the FBI, the New York State Attorney General, and the Manhattan (New York City) prosecutor are now investigating Trump's many…
-
Pay attention, Reaper. If this Chuukese can do something positive in his life, maybe there is still hope for you!
-
-
If Donald Trump could read, I am sure he would enjoy Reaper's nonsense. So Reaper, at least you have one fan. LOL
-
Yup. And he has driven most people away from this forum that was once focused on micronesian issues, not Trump worship.
-
I am for a two-state solution to this long-standing conflict: one state for Israel and one state for Palestine. I am against the U.S., or any other country, providing more weapons to either Israel or the Palestinians. Israel has been systematicall…

The Trump nightmare is over and America has real leadership again.
-
Good to see the U.S. once again taking action against fossil fuel pollution, global warming, and sea level rise. Welcome back, America! We missed you when that orange guy was pretending to be president.
-
"Bitter and hateful" because his Liar-in-Chief was fired from his apprenticeship by the American voters? Yes, that is definitely you, Grim Reaper. Grow up and get over it.
-
Thanks to the U.S. military for supporting this repatriation.
-
LOL @ Reaper's "I'm a self thinking colored man." More like a pitiful Trump propaganda puppet, actually. How's your Master doing these days, by the way? Getting nervous with his corrupt lawyer Rudy Guiliani under FBI investigation? LOL
-
Yes, enemies of democracy flood the media with propaganda designed to undermine elected governments. People like Reaper, for example.
-
Cocoboy, apparently you missed many recent posts concerning Micronesia. If like most of us, you don't like Reaper's endlessly boring, non-micronesian, pro-Trump/anti-Biden posts, ignore them and do not comment on them. Instead, respond to the pos…

For a modest fee, cremations are done in Majuro (RMI) by PII, a private company. Expats asked for the service several years ago but I understand that few Marshallese have also used the service in recent years. Ebeye (Kwajalein, RMI) has a severe…

"Followers of Islam disavow cremation. In fact, they are given strict guidelines for the treatment of the body after death; one of which is the proscription to bury the body "within the day of the death". Orthodox and Conservative Judaism, discredi…

The Catholic Church allows cremation. In May, 1963, the Vatican lifted the prohibition forbidding Catholics to choose cremation. Cremated remains are to be buried in cemeteries or other sacred locations only, that encourage the Catholic community …

What is the cost of shipping a dead body from the U.S. to Chuuk? I've heard that it is at least $10,000. If the remains are cremated in the U.S., any passenger can hand carry the ashes for the cost of a single, one-way airline ticket. This metho…
