"Can you come up with your own research question based on the data, do an analysis and write a paper (10 pages). Remember to add citations."

It came up with an entire paper + code.

I wanted to see how many friends the President of Peace has made during his first and second term, so I made a map of countries he has threatened both economically and militarily, banned citizens from, and bombed.

Some things are up for discussion, so a bit on methodology below.

Pressure grows on Germany over rigid support for Israel
Pressure is building on Germany to join steps to sanction Israel over the Gaza war, sparking heated debate in a country that has long been at pains to atone for the Holocaust.
