'Trump’s diplomacy, such as it is, has been subjected to withering attack, especially by liberal opinion: How could the US president agree to meet on friendly terms with a brutal dictator? How could he fail to demand that North Korea end its human rights violations, which are indeed horrendous?
Willingness to look at “the whole story” suggests some other questions, of course unasked — in fact, unthinkable: How could Kim agree to meet on friendly terms with the head of the state that world opinion overwhelmingly regards as the greatest threat to peace? How could North Korea fail to demand that the US end its human rights violations, also horrendous? Has North Korea done anything remotely like invading Iraq, the worst crime of this century? Or destroying Libya? Has it been condemned by the ICJ for international terrorism [...]?'

Hi USA, here is my college. (Ciencias - UNAM) It has a good worldwide ranking and it has a $0.25 MXN/year tuition and a $0.25 MXN/year admin fee to study there. ($0.025 USD/year total) I think foreigners pay a little more (like 50 USD/year) but the cost of living is also very low. Classes are only in Spanish though.
Just putting it out there as an option as student loans/debt get worse and Trump gets tired of too much winning™ with the trade war vs the whole world.
Speaking of trivia, some enterprising soul created a spliced version of Steely Dan's FM - so it could be played by AM stations! LOL https://youtu.be/P39Dl8KJDlw
@Terrana if only this were true for music. I'd love to know the benefit of knowing, off the top of my head, that Michael O'Martian did piano on Steely Dan's Aja song. OK, sure, there was a plethora of amazing talent on that recording session, but I fail to find any sort of 'practical' use for it. It probably wouldn't even come up in a trivia contest! :( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aja_(song)#Personnel
