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.

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, 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.

My friend, you are doing the thing. You're saying it is everyone else that's the problem.

Can you cite some studies for this, please? Preferably reproduced, peer reviewed ones?

I don't mean to be mean, but I have heard things like this and from everything I have been able to gather, there's no evidence for being able to tell how someone is thinking just from their movements or tics.

This is why Ukraine is under immense pressure to get results out of the counteroffensive.
