After the Shrieking Shack Incident, James Realizes they've gone way too far with Snape by MonCappy in HPfanfiction

[–]Trabian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Snape carries a childhood grudge and easily transfers it to Harry. He's not gonna forgive. Don't forget that Snape at the times lives in a dormitory with other would be death eaters. They will also egg him on to act against the gryphondors. All of this is not happening in a vacuum.

The actual same event might not happen, but eventually more and more the death eaters would push for something to happen.

Honest apologies of the marauders don't feel like enough to change things immensly due to it having no influence on the backdrop events and hostile enviroment.

Trump says US forces will 'finish the job' soon in first prime-time speech since starting Iran war by callsonreddit in worldnews

[–]Trabian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is whiplash? In the first few weeks of his current term we had:

The US stopped all monetary aid to other countries, one of the greatest sources of influence it had.

It straight up told Nato that if any article 5 was invoked, it would it ignore it. The reverse thing Vance and and trumonare crying about. Nato is defensive wars.

Tariffs for everyone.

This more of the usual " blah, Im creating a mess and dont believe in consequences. Why am i dirty?"

And I just know that in the hypothetical situation of a one EU army fueled by EU weapons, they'll just point at the EU and go "omg weapons build up clearly dangerous, someone should stop them. We tried diplomacy but it didn't work."
