It's lucky that the founder decided to host it at LA. It could have been gone at war if it's today, we are at full scale war now. Or the junta Chief would had traded to get some more MIGs.

As I said, it’s a shame.

Despite all evidence to the contrary.

You are pleased with the current situation in Myanmar? Do tell.

You might be replying to the wrong person, they never said they are pleased

Despite all evidence to the contrary…

Seems there is plenty to be concerned about in Myanmar.

See comment above. You are replying to the wrong person

I believe the confusion here comes from the ambiguity of the "It's a shame" comment, as it could be "It's a shame [that the gem cannot be safely stored in its home country due to the political situation]" or "It's a shame [that the gem is not stored in its home country despite the political situation]".

The "despite all evidence to the contrary" remark was in response to interpretation B when it seems interpretation A was the intended meaning.

What I believe what throwaway guy means by "despite all evidence to the contrary" is that evidence he see points that Myanmar is Fine.

Unless he says otherwise this is what I think..

What are the evidences? What are you even replying about?
