   Moonman posted "depends on context" today and reminded me.
   
   A little while back, there was a panel with John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs at "All-In Summit 2024"[1]. The young moderator tried to entrap Mearsheimer by asking him if he agreed that we ought to oppose dictators, yes or no. The obvious game plan was to force the guest into a conflict with himself. Both Mearsheimer and Sachs oppose the globohomo action in Ukraine.
   
   Mearsheimer's reply was "depends on the context". The mod boy was STUNNED (or pretended to be). Do you really oppose or not oppose dictators depending on context?!
   
   Well, yes, my boy. You will understand it when you grow up.

     @sun Sorry to subtweet you, I don't even remember the thread where you said "depends on context". But IIRC it was appropriate.

     @zaitcev it especially is true for countries since they don't really have friends or morals they just have interests
