"Mongolia imports 95% of its petroleum products and over 20% of electricity from our immediate neighborhood (Russia), which has previously suffered interruption for technical reasons. This supply is critical to ensure our existence and that of our people," the Mongolian spokesperson said in a statement to Politico.

Mongolia’s energy dependence complicates the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, a Mongolian government spokesperson told Politico in a statement on Sept. 3.

      That demonstrates a very poor understanding of our history, specifically the era of our Robber Barons, which we dealt with over the course of about 50 years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You should look up the tax system we put in place over those years, and the origins of our anti-trust laws.
