This is the nature of modern, post ww2 foreign policy.
If you see only absolute adherence to your country’s values as good and non-adherence as bad, you will end up in the terrible position of absolutist states like north Korea and Turkmenistan. In these places, leaders enjoy a good life and the average citizen has very few options beyond just existing miserably.
The world is not black and white and there is no such thing as a perfect trading partner.





Finally killed my Discord account and moved my monitoring notifications to a self-hosted ntfy server. Works well.
