#OpEd Inna Bondarenko takes you inside Russia's famous school for diplomats, where Moscow's negotiators of the future are taught to break the rules of international relations while appearing to play by the book. Here's what she learned and how she got out.

”This is a warning.” The West should listen. "If the West wants to deal effectively with 🇷🇺, it needs to understand how its diplomacy works," says researcher Inna Bondarenko, who studied at 🇷🇺 (MGIMO), an elite Russian Diplomatic Academy often referred to in the West as the "Russian Harvard." 1/9🧵

At least that person is not delusional. Maybe even reachable. Tho, I thought I was getting thru to my own cousin last year and he couldn’t wait to brag that “Uncle tRump is back baby!” the morning of 11/6 (and had the nerve to ask to borrow money at the same time!). Y’all already know my response 😏

Any other election cycle I’d say “oh well, we’ll get ‘em next time.” This one just feels wayyy different and unfortunately it requires removing the kid gloves. We thought swing voters got it after last midterms but those lessons did not hold two more years. We were dead wrong. So a change is needed.

I know your approach because it was my approach for years and what I learned is that it doesn’t work because these people aren’t connecting their choices to consequences. We can not convince them with logic or empathy. They only understand self-interest. And theirs are coming to a head with reality.
layer4down (@layer4down.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. I know constant positivity and it’s exhausting. I’m not angry. I’m quite resolved. It’s only been a week and that’s not nearly enough time for the consequences of their actions to have truly sunken in yet (they’re not THAT smart). And it’s just the beginning.

No. You don’t get to do that. We get to be assholes. We’re on vacation for the next four years because we told those ppl and they refused to listen. “Trump derangement syndrome”?

I think most of us tried so hard for so long not to lean into tribalism that now that we’re here, it’s the only solace remaining. Because it’s that or capitulation. I’m not convinced that these people don’t want this because it’s only been a week. We need to give it time to really sink in for them.

If “SaaS is dead” because #AI is eating the world, doesn’t this imply that proprietary software is dead as well? GenAI is necessarily a race to the bottom, so soon enough a model would be capable of generating not only FLOSS clones of any proprietary software, but entire operating systems as well.

So 50 shades of AGI? Sounds like you’re saying it was smart enough to mimic a toddler. If we’re grading its potential for AGI there should probably be some rough equivalence to human assessments. We’d want to know if a model is smart enough to pass the 1st grade or 12th grade or earn a PhD or more.

If you left public school hating America, then something is probably wrong with you not your teachers and you’d be in the minority. Striving to make “a more perfect union” was the acknowledgment that it was not perfect but we should *never* settle for a weak democracy or a weak republic.

You should research this further. George/ABC were not found to be liable in court. He quoted from Trump’s court case docs verbatim. They simply chose not to prolong any legal battles since it’s likely that the new administration would abuse its new powers to make life difficult for ABC and George.

Cable company’s only use these days is shuttling Internet packets, which isn’t very profitable. In England, last-mile cabling is owned/operated by the govt. Best thing ISP’s can do is let them take it from here and so we can finally bridge the digital divide and democratize Internet access, Lord.
