The June 19 defense pact signed between Russia and North Korea included a promise to provide military assistance to one another – within days Pyongyang said it was sending troops to Ukraine.
Agreed and same toward you. Apologies if I came off as dismissive.
I think we felt the same in probably 2022. I think the recent tech supremacy racez and the weird things like the US ordering Apple closing up shop in China, ordering all US companies to not sell them the good stuff, and the efforts to separate specifically Chinese nationals from US higher education programs that delve into high end tecj stuff is… Telling. And then… Shit like this?!
I won’t ignore the possibility of propaganda creating the divergence in where we probably agreed 2 years ago and where I am now. But I feel there’s enough economic proof and to me, historically it’s always seemed like money talks.
But I digress. Agree to disagree. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong lol.
I’ve been looking at it through the lens of this obscure joke from David Cross standup back in like 2003. Sad how relevant some of it still is. Highly recommend the whole special. It’s aged great.

It’s nice to be able to have a discussion where both people disagree politely.
Thanks for the pleasure!
Most welcome, and you the same!
