Why does the presence of positive charges in a medium not impact the force between 2 particles but will impact the overall force net force?

The TBR gives exaplanation: This is because the force vectors in a charged environment can be treated as independent of one another.

But wouldn't this mean that the force charges on 2 particles can be independent of one another, thus affecting their force?

and can someone delete my repeat questions on the home mcat discussion page? I didn't see this page until a minute ago
