We will use completely different means to resolve this problem, namely, we will ensure good economic growth.

I don't want to offend anyone, but the United States, everywhere, all over the world, is actively interfering in electoral campaigns in other countries. Is this really news to you? Just talk to people but in such a way (to the extent it is possible for you) so as to convince them that you're not going to make it public.

There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful.
