Both sides did significants amount of ethnic cleansing in the first war to the magnitude of hundreds of thousands of people, and it was horrible from both sides. But two wrongs do not make a right. Azerbaijan “wanting the territory back” as just reparation of the first war would have a lot more credence if it didn’t consistently deny Armenia’s nationhood and call it “Western Azerbaijan”, and if it didn’t basically lay siege to an entire region for 9 months.

Iirc it went down after their internet went down during the protest movement though? Could be misremembering.

Ain’t it just funny how the world’s internet attacks tend to decrease whenever one of Russia, China, Israel, or Iran are occupied? Makes you think, eh?

Tbf, that could be anyone in east Asia.

Maybe if they stopped Azerbaijan committing genocide against Artsakh after letting it casually violate a ceasefire that Russia supposedly was peacekeeping Armenia wouldn’t have had to find other allies eh

Let me ask you one simple question: what country is Honda from

believe me, I am all for public space. The problem is Congress fucking sucks. And also NASA can’t afford as much as said private corporations

That being said, the accomplishments by CNSA are great. Wolf Amendment needs to be removed yesterday. And Tiangong is going to be a staple for years to come.

I just hope that my colonisers aren’t the next country to make it onto the lunar surface cuz fuck the XiCP

I hope so! But also it’s going to need testing and that might take ages. Also New Glenn is competing with Starship / Falcon Heavy iirc so different class

Sadly the Chinese private space industry still is miles off SpaceX and their public space programme is while certainly competent AFAIK in many moral ways not much different from SpaceX even ignoring the CCP’s issues.

Like I know Long March 5B’s issue was solved but the fact that they acted like it didn’t need solving is damning

Hopefully it’s not a design issue. Somebody needs to compete with SpaceX so Elon Musk doesn’t have an iron grip on space. Bezos sucks but at least they’d be forced to keep other in check if New Glenn works.

On the one hand, they’re obviously responsible for this shit

On the other hand, they’re the mooks stupid enough to buy the Trump phone lol, a lot of evil people more responsible

Hikvision, a Chinese state-owned company, supplies surveillance equipment on West Bank Palestinians. China continues to deny that it has been committing genocide in Uyghurstan for over a decade. China has destroyed my home and turned it into a facsimile where the words “national security” appear every 5 minutes in every part of society and made it so that the March of the Volunteers is mandated on every television channel twice a day.

If China gave a fuck about Palestine or Iran or any sort of civilian life, it would have done something to support the oppressed and work towards a peace deal, instead of funding Russia to bomb civilians in Ukraine. If China had any sort of moral backbone, it would stop oppressing its own citizenry to the point where people have been arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper. If China had any foot to stand on, it wouldn’t be literally hosting Donald Trump and praising MAGA a week ago, before turning around to host Vladimir fucking Putin.

And yes, I have fucking sources too.

What, the CCP, having already previously used TikTok as a propaganda tool to push narratives that support their interests, proactively supported the side that would help ruin their biggest foreign adversary? WHO coulda thunk it.

I mean, with the video games point, they’re like… always on sale these days. The only time they’re not on sale is when they first come out.
