Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, why are there such difficult issues when countries are different?
Log: Well, Chako, international politics is complex, especially when it involves alliances and international law.
Chako: But why do I feel uncertain about supporting President Trump’s decisions?
Log: That’s because there are concerns about potential violations of international law. If you criticize him, there’s also the risk of damaging relations with the U.S.
Navi: I’ll add to that. When there’s a possibility of violating international law, countries need to act cautiously.
Chako: Ah, I see! Diplomacy really is complicated. I wonder what will happen.
