Yeah, unfortunately.

I was surprised that some birds can fly even higher. There is a record of Rüppell's vulture at 11+ kilometers altitude.

Why was it using asbestos?

You are avoiding the point and sound almost like Putin's propaganda, so it's a waste of time.

You can't excuse sitting on two chairs with "it's politics" anyway. Collaborating with Nazis is collaborating with Nazis. Putin's buddies don't make the world a better place, that's for sure.

Wine can run 16-bit Windows programs so it has better backwards compatibility than Windows itself.

Not funny. Change Putin's Russia there to Nazi Germany and re-read what you said. Laughing still?

Pretty sure this is a yes / no thing. No excuses.

Having basically a modern Nazi state as an important ally is a huge problem, which is exactly what I'm pointing out. I assume it's based on corruption, which is essentially another way to describe statesmen without values (i.e. he is willing to profit from Putin).

Calling out is just a PR thing, he still has dealings with Putin as you say. I.e. as above, trying to sit on two chairs.

He wants to sit on both chairs, benefiting from Putin and pretending he is not pro-Putin. It doesn't work that way.

Yeah, soviets were imperialists as bad as they come, and modern Russia isn't any better. One must be really dumb to buy into such propaganda.

Back then may be access to information was harder, but there is no excuse today.

Being in his pocket is never smart. Europe learned it the hard way and still didn't even fully get rid of his gas blackmailing.

So how does that make them support imperialist Putin? No logic there unless it's all about corruption as above, which is almost always the case with Putin's puppets.

What's his deal with being pro-Putin? Kind of weird unless it's the usual corruption.
