BS. The Shah of Iran and Pinochet of Chile were both brutal dictators installed by the USA that replaced democratically elected leaders.

The US helped Saddam use WMDs against Iran. The US was allies with Saddam before the US betrayed him by arming Iran. The US armed both sides of the Iran/Iraq war (see the Iran Contra scandal) because the goal was to invade both oil rich countries.

Ghost. Sorry, but you leave no choice but to tell everyone this. In the UK it is illegal to have more than one wife. The UK gives pounds to the wives maybe 500 pounds a year under some program. 40% of the Pakistani that live in the UK have more than one wife. They can have five or more. The UK under your law has to pay the $500 to each wife, the wives of the Pakistanis.
Yuk. Would you not rather live in China. Or Somalia, where a wife can be 14 years old. Do you love all these countries? Do you know that without the illegal immigrants in this country that our economy would skyrocket? Our economy is already smoking. UK, it will smoke it 10 times more..
Just for your edification, , not to get too off the subject, prices go up in this country because of the devalued dollar. Not Trump‘s fault. The only way to turn that around would be if the federal reserve would lower interest rates, as we see every day on the news Trump is upset as hell that they will not do it. So now you know why the prices are up, and you know that Trump is doing his best with lowering interest rate rates to cause the value of the dollar to go up, and the cost of goods to go down. I think that I am too smart for this forum.

They beat everybody else, didn't they? As far as technology is concerned they are doing great. Humans rights? Well that is different matter, but so are a lot of countries that are allies with the USA. Israel for example. The USA helps Israel commit genocide.

Is the USA doing great? Define doing great. Great at what? Killing people?
How do you feel about China's social credit system?

Although polygamy is illegal in Britain, the state effectively recognizes the practice for Muslim men, who often have up to four wives (and in some instances five or more) in a harem.

You are talking nonsense here. In the UK Muslim men can have one legal wife. If he has more, they are not legal wives. The law gives them the same rights as girlfriends. He can have 10 women, but only one [the first one], is a wife, with full legal status. The rest have no rights.

You've educated the little fella.

In 2020, Utah lowered the penalty for voluntary polygamy from a felony to an infraction, making it a lower-level offense.

A legacy probably from all those rampant Christian Mormons...

Hey, you are also living next door to a pakistanee neighbor who has married his cousin. And maybe 3 of his cousins. Defend it, UK man. 😉 They MARRY their COUSINS. And you wonder why I am Up To HERE with cultural differences. And the sue person saying we are all brothers, such as that. A literal cesspool of beliefs here on the very RHP Forum

You,,,,,are wrong. A wife in UK has one definition, there are no sub-sections. Ask Ghost, he is well-studied on the subject 😆 😆 😆
