Thinking about this more and it'd make more sense: a Ferengi that believed in giving gifts would certainly be banished, maybe he brought his message of giving to Earth....

One becomes a significant person in politics by writing things like this. This is a Russian politician who is saying the things you want. Was only trying to help make sure you are aware.
Armenia is a member of the CSTO, right? That's the NATO alternative run by Russia, as I understand it. Russia has no ability to actually help Armenia in this conflict, though.
I agree that the west is awful about doing the right thing if there's no compounding factor to juice it like oil.
But Armenia made a decision to ally themselves with Russia for protection. That has proven to be a terrible mistake. Let's not pretend this was a completely unavoidable situation that the west could just walk into and stop. Armenia's membership in CSTO complicates that greatly.
So .. gonna go with "a little of column a, a little of column b" here. I wish the west was more righteous and less greedy. I wish Armenia had chosen better friends.
Reasonableness on the Fediverse is so fucking refreshing.
FWIW: my only problem is the with the pseudoscience, your picking up his odd behavior is totally correct. I wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could throw him, just not sure what we can decide scientifically from clips like this.
There are millions of small companies and shops that need engineering help. Many will actually talk to you like a person because they haven't been enshuttified to death.
STOP WORKING FOR THESE GIANT HELLHOLES.
Hey, family is family. Like I said, India needs to police their shit, they're losing the script badly.
Hey, US citizen checkin in. Don't fuck around in or with Canada unless you like pissing the US off, too. I don't think India wants this heat. They need to change course.
Why are you applying to that soulless shitshack??
My friend, you are doing the thing. You're saying it is everyone else that's the problem.
I hear you, but they didn't timewarp from the late 90s to today, either. 2014 would have been a good time to think carefully about their defensive coalition membership.
Edit: I want to finish by saying I wish the US lived up to our ideals more often and that I also wish Armenia had better protection through their defense pacts.
