One thing Trump tried to do after getting inaugurated was considering Mexican cartels terrorist organizations, and for that he was attacked by Sheinbaum for violating Mexico’s sovereignty. But, at least as far as I’ve read on the topic (whcih is not a lot to be fair), nobody actually explains why that’s the case. I mean at a glance you’d think the Mexican government would benefit from such an action, or at least I did. It’s pretty obvious to me I’m missing a piece of the puzzle, so does anyone here have it?

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Now it makes sense.

    Foucault’s Pendulum is fucking awesome though? It might be his best book since Name of the Rose.

    I read War and Peace on an iphone. It gave a strange sense of achievement to read 57 “pages” in 15 minutes. Each page was most of a paragraph.

    I haven’t bothered with David Foster Wallace yet.

      My personal favourite is The Island of the Day Before. Though I haven’t read either in years and it might be nostalgia because that was my first introduction to Eco.
