This girl on Twitter is plagiarising posts from the SDF. We had this post on the SDF. This is like the fifth time I saw this from this girl. One of her threads was a copy of one of my answers here and I didn't see my nickname mentioned.

Dear Quanyi Li if you are reading this I personally don't have any problems with you Tweeting my posts but I'd rather have my nickname mentioned.

Why do Iran and Russia need to export oil and gas in the first place? I thought they are decently developed countries with diversified industries and advanced technological base.

Was it sheer Iranian and Russian propaganda then? What else would explain the extreme reliance on hydrocarbon exports for these two countries?
 

Abominable

These comments about Turkey and NATO sound a lot like something I would say...

Don't be too hard on the poor girl, she's just trying to improve her social credit score :D

With her follow up I think she is missing the point... I approve 100% of Turkey milking NATO for all its worth. Not doing what Turkey is doing is dumb.

Being excluded from the Western market, financial streams, and sources of technology makes development much tougher than in other countries. Even if they develop technology they are isolated from seeking it, due to secondary sanctions from the US, just too much risk for other countries.

They have good education systems and companies, in search of markets.

Damnit, I better post more for her to start passing off my comments as her own :D

You know, "she" might just be a neckbeard typing from a basement somewhere.
Oh I don't doubt that, it'll just be even funnier if that was the case.



The irony is if everyone else is buying oil on the cheap from Russia, it's the Europeans that are funding Russia's end of the Ukraine war the most.
I heard some russians were actually quite supportive of the sanctions after the dust settled and are hoping it doesn't get lifted anytime soon. Its been raising their standard of living from the strong ruble.
