I need to sleep
I don't give a poo poo about twotter itself or defending Moraes but it is a bit worrying to have the most famous billionaire in the world, who happens to be the owner of a big social network, weighting in on brazilian politics on the side of the far right

Hopefully he soon forget all about it, but this loving idiot has a huge audience

I never got why embassies have complete immunity from arrests. With how turbo-corrupt ambassadors are, really feels like it should be the opposite, arrest 'em as soon as they arrive.

Good day what ho cup of tea
Nobody would establish an embassy if the moment relations got strained (IE: the exact moment you need embassies for) all the embassy staff became hostages of the country the embassy was in.

Replace ambassadors with hostages like in ancient Rome. It would require heads of states to start making more children, but it's certainly worth investigating as a policy option

I've lost twice, I've failed twice and I've gotten two dishonorable mentions within 7 weeks. But I keep coming back. I am The Trooper!

Look, if even Attila and Genghis Khan respected diplomats despite them being super criminal spies who sometimes tried to have them assassinated by their own generals, I am sure contemporary states can be civilised enough about it.
