    Fuck I want to see Trump held to account for this so bad.

    He’s had a negative impact on everyone’s life the world over. Thats quite an achievement, especially because it was an unforced error.

    I read reuters and the guardian and this is the first I am hearing about S Korea being asked to join the Iran war.

    If anything Ukraine would make sense as N. Korea is in a support roles as auxillaries over there. But S. Korea maybe should just mind it’s own business, wtf do they care?

      they care because S Korea’s primary economy is selling devices that run on the oil that’s being embargoed. obviously though the people have more spine than the corporations

      I suppose Trump threatening to cut support regarding North Korea unless they support the US in Iran is one major reason for that.

    Wait I don’t understand, why are the police not beating, pepper-spraying, and shooting the protesters dead in the street?

      I don’t know what their police are called, but it must be because their organizations acronym isn’t “ICE”
