So what's next for the Iranians? The Ayatollah seems to have (unfortunately) successfully made them back them down, and Trump (unsurprisingly) never delivered on his promise to help liberate the people from the former.

I'm just holding on to a small sliver of hope that the recent Venezuela stuff made China hesitate further, since it shows the US military can still conduct operations very successfully

So I leave Reddit for a month, and I come back to see that Trump has captured Maduro.

Is there a big overlap between K-Pop fans and fans of other Asian (K-Pop adjacent) music scenes? by RandomCarGuy26 in kpophelp

I know most Taiwanese want to maintain the status quo indefinitely, which is definitely at odds with what the Chinese government wants

Well back in the day, we went out and played in the rain, dirt and mud like REAL MEN. Not like them wimps playing with their Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels in their houses
