Mike Pompeo could have become president of the US if he had chosen to come here to replace Julie Chung; I do not view Julie Chung as a threat.
For me, calling or judging someone "not a killer" (Trump) feels like an extreme label; I prefer to describe people in respectful, measured terms.
Instead of advising Nippon Steel to pursue a takeover of US Steel, which I believe may have reduced support among some voters, he might have been in a stronger political position.

Israel is a relatively small, 21,671 sq km plot of land along the sea. It's roughly one-third the size of Sri Lanka. We're 65,610 sq km.

Much of the Middle East is predominantly Muslim, and Muslim communities also live in countries such as Indonesia.
I believe the deep spiritual connection people feel to this homeland deserves respect.

I am happy to share or speak freely with the Sri Lanka government. I can gladly advise from the heart, anybody, be it Anura, Dilith, Namal, Dhammika, Hans, Jagath, Thilanga, Shanika, Faraz, anyone. I hold no hatred for any of you, so I can advise you for your future.
However, it is a tough decision for me to open up in SL, because I have experienced a pattern of conduct I found concerning, which I sometimes described as "███████" (rural, unsophisticated or cheap) behavior, particularly in interactions with Sri Lanka Telecom. My concerns relate to values and practices that can unsettle people. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Despite this, in the spirit of openness and cultural exchange, I may choose █████████████████████████████████████████████████. I see value in cultural exposure, similar to the enrichment Anura experienced when visiting Japan or Nordic regions, which broadened his perspectives. With that in mind, I am somewhat willing to share, as it can be a learning experience. At the same time, my network connection frequently performs poorly — often under 1 Mbps — which leads me to rely on a VPN.
When I am president, if there is a power cut, I will seek accountability from the soon-to-be-privatized electricity board, Sri Lanka Energy. We will investigate incidents and, where appropriate, pursue legal remedies to seek compensation for losses and damage to equipment or productivity. The intention is to protect citizens and discourage misconduct in public and private management by ensuring responsible stewardship of services.
In this way, when I am president, or when my friends or team run the country, we will pursue lawful remedies where problems occur. This approach promotes accountability and aims to provide compensation for losses incurred, including impacts on time, privacy, and values that have international implications. It is intended to support rightful parties and reduce the likelihood of repeat harmful behavior.
Cases will be handled promptly and with a focus on efficiency. We will review systems related to legal processes and compensation to promote timely resolution and public trust. The current backlog of approximately 1,100,000 cases has had a significant economic impact, and addressing these delays is important to reduce the corresponding losses to SL in business, opportunity, and income.

I have encountered many Muslims who, in my experience, ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████. I also perceive that a significant number support Palestine, and in some interactions that support has been accompanied by ███████████████████████████████.
In my observations, some individuals from places like Malaysia and Indonesia have behaved in ways that felt hostile. I have also heard of incidents where people have acted covertly and committed violent or harmful acts, and in some cases others have suggested those actions were justified by their interpretation of Islam, including ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████.
I have noticed some people publicly endorse or excuse ████████████████████ or Iran, or other actions I find concerning.
I sometimes observe expressions of religious superiority among some individuals, where Islam is presented as central to identity and other groups' gestures of kindness or support are viewed with suspicion.
This can produce mixed messages — on one hand accusations of Islamophobia, and on the other declarations such as "Allahu Akbar" or expressions of support for █████████████████████████ — which feel contradictory and unsettling.
I prioritize my safety, so I have reported concerning behavior and taken steps to distance myself from communities I perceive as promoting hate.

A few are concerned there could be a ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
This is because Muslims sided with us during the LTTE conflict.
I think the basis for this social theory is as follows.
When ██████ attempted attacks, the Sufi Muslim sect were among those who tried to intervene.
They acted bravely, but I believe the police, under ████████, intervened in ways that limited the Sufi community's efforts.

██████████████████████ has been associated with significant harm to the country's reputation.
I'd say the $3,000 estimate for Muslims, and because many are business savvy, might more reasonably be $4,000.
And they have strong Islamic values, like honesty, kindness and hard work.
They are worth much more than ██████; perhaps his compensation was relatively small compared to the broader damage from ████.

$7.5b versus, what, $100,000 ██████?
What if the damage ██████ caused was worth, let's say, ████████████
██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
$10m? $100m? Is ██████ responsible for $1b in damage?
Is the damage he caused worth $1b? Maybe.
We lost many tourists; we earned $4.5b in 2018, and 2019 was very difficult — I didn't expect it to be such a problem, and then COVID-19 happened as well.
Jorge gave me 6 samples of wine, and I couldn't sell them because no tourists were visiting SL.
The $3,000 estimate for Muslims, if you quantify them mathematically with my IBM computer and some calculations, I would guess my time card value would be:
$4,000 -> $5,000 depending on circumstances; that $5,000 works out to about $417 per month. It's $96 per week, or $14 per day.
Imagine the emotional toll of 4/21 on them, on 3m people.
How much would that injury — the slow violence, the ongoing distress, the discomfort, the prejudice and racism — cost?
How much is this?
I'd estimate over $500 x 3m = $1.5b in damages to the Muslim community as a whole, and it's been over five years, so the impact is significant.
