What does your neighbor's pet (probably the only ----- you've ever seen) have to do with it?

"#5. I know what it means. I also know that this country is not engaged in ethnic cleansing."

This article is trying to have it both ways, though. If ethnic cleansing would destroy the United States, then how is it still here centuries later?

The argument being made for this is that they're enforcing legal sanctions which were being violated.

The question that people should be asking is how does this compare to enforcement of sanctions against the RF?

Could this be a signal or prelude of more strict or aggressive enforcement of those sanctions?

Or is it tactic to use people's condemnations of these actions as an excuse not to enforce those sanctions?

Earlier this year, the State Department eliminated an employee's contributions to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) goals from the criteria for promotion within the Foreign Service. Instead, the department said it would vet Foreign Service employees on their "fidelity" to the Trump administration's policies.

The State Department's human resources bureau releases new precepts every three years, outlining the most important qualities Foreign Service officers must demonstrate to advance to higher ranks.

As part of a newly added "fidelity" standard, Foreign Service employees across all ranks will be evaluated on their contributions to "protecting and promoting executive power."

I'm really torn about this one. On one hand, it's probably going to be another horrible waste of taxpayer money. On the other hand, we should show respect to the Roman Empire.
