Talk principles when others are concerned, protect interests when it concerns them. The hypocrisy, condescension and self-righteousness of the entire western world is on display in this conflict. The relentless onslaught of western propaganda might have worked 20 years ago, but is mostly a self goal now and a bubble for their own populace to bask in moral high ground. From Gulf to Africa and Asia, countries are paying lip service at best to western narrative or downright ignoring it. Everyone acknowledges Putin as a dangerous individual, sympathizes with plight of Ukrainians but knows west lead Ukraine on, refused to listen to Russian concerns (valid or not), all for a defunct military alliance that has lost its purpose and only exists for expansion.

Don't get me wrong, I admire the swiss. But attributing a nations success to higher moral standards of individual people is crazy. The swiss might exhibit admirable qualities worth emulating but those qualities might as well be the result of a rich and stable environment the country had over the generations. That environment was also bought by providing "safe havens for the wealth of dictators and despots, mobsters and arms dealers, corrupt officials, and tax cheats of all kinds" and staying equally un-committed to both sides in WW2 when one of them was Hitler is not something to write home either.

True. As much as a service entices us, old version and having no timeframe of when we can expect an update to a newer version made us keep our self-managed cluster on EC2.
