You just wrote a couple paragraphs about an aristocratic kid dying a hundred years ago while imperial exploitation grinds up hundreds of thousands of kids a year
Seems like a strange thing to focus on

This seems like a classic "do studies/ran committees" response to avoid actually doing anything
"Yes master USA, we are so keen to decouple from China, in fact our department is looking at how to do it right now"
two studies, one in 2015 and another in 2020
Worth noting for humour that one Australian state with a quarter of the population and wealth signed up to the Belt and Road Initiative in 2018

Stalin is writing in the interwar period before fascism has really demonstrated certain aspects that we associate with fascism today
From looking at telegram it seems like Ukraine is winning all the real Nobel prizes
