#Trump threatened to cut all US #aid to #SouthAfrica while claiming, without evidence, that the govt there is confiscating land, wading into a sensitive racial issue while deepening already sharp divisions between the US & South Africa over #Gaza & #Ukraine.
 Trump posted that South Africa “is confiscating land, & treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY,” in comments widely interpreted as referring to #White South Africans.

Smart politician. Listen. Don't say anything that could negatively affect international relations. Say what you want and negotiate behind closed doors.

How Venezuela Rigged Their Election (again)

Venezuela is yet again in the news for a potential rigged election. Nicolás Maduro won the July 28th 2024 election, up against the opposition party's candidate, Edmundo González. Many countries have been denouncing these election results, and have been calling for Maduro and his party to publicly release their election's data.

Why am I not surprised?

Europe is under attack from Russia. Why isn’t it fighting back?

Western countries have shied away from reacting to Kremlin acts of sabotage and terror.

This is very concerning. Especially since Russia is threatening to use nukes if you attack them.

@world Considering that they have nuclear weapons, it is wise to be cautious.

Now that Trump has won the White House, what does the rest of the world think?

I am not sure, but I remember seeing Sky News from Australia on YouTube and they are practically a Trump propaganda machine.

Politically Safe Countries For Trans?

Now that Trump has won the 2024 election, is there a safe country for us to go to?

Even though there is a backlash due to specific government policies, the U.S. still is one of the best countries to be trans. You have constitutional rights and a right to be who you want to be. A lot of other countries aren't so nice.

I am not so sure about that. The political climate is changing, and people seem to be more hostile to trans people these days.

While there may be some people who harass trans people, I think such harassment would remain illegal. It is not going to be open season on trans people. Although I am sure there will be plenty of loud mouth jerks who will be haters.

That being said, the Philippines is actually very accepting of gays and trans (such as ladyboys) as long as they are accepting of straight people. It's a two way street. Despite being a very religious country, it is actually very accepting of different sexualities.
