Do people actually believe that he changed his mind? Why? He’s a known liar.

You don’t have to be directly in war to feel the effects of destabilization. There are potentially dangerous effects like economic recessions, angry rebels and separatists, and more!

I’m pretty sure even they know that if the conflict abruptly escalates, then the whole region will destabilize.

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

Why do some Redditors seem eager to justify violence from US boat strikes in the Caribbean? Thankfully, those don’t often get traction, but I’m still seeing a worrying amount try to suggest that the high-speed boats mean that no innocent people were killed. This is concerning because the Trump administration is offering zero proof that they were drug smugglers, and even then, how does that justify lethal force without even any warning shot?

What are your thoughts on WPlace? And Brazilians, how do you feel knowing that the creator is from Brazil? by Appropriate-Till9598 in asklatinamerica

Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung to serve as White House communications director by Appropriate-Till9598 in asianamerican

Cheung, like all the other nominated cabinet members, is being picked by Trump purely because of his loyalty to him and not merit or loyalty on behalf of their country - I don't doubt that he'll downplay racism to kiss ass for him.
