That’s how conquest always works. First you conquer them. Then you tax them. Then the government gets corrupt and taxes go up so high that nobody can afford to pay. Then there’s bloody suppression and revolution (not necessarily in that order.) Then the winning side becomes the new dictator and the cycle repeats.

Send that paperwork to the UN. That’s their responsibility.

I would have thought either ‘s’ or ‘strike’ within angle brackets would do it, but apparently not.

For bold, the HTML “B” works, too. Ditto for “I” for italic. But not the “s”.
