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.

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.
