Few things are more pleasing than hearing a variety of languages being spoken organically in my community - give me more neighbors who speak a different language please!!

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesnโ€™t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

The interesting logical outcome of this for me is that now the major press agencies can ONLY report based on leaked/unofficial information, which is precisely what the Pentagon was trying to prevent ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
