    Europe ditched Russian energy the same way they ditched colonialism: they didn’t, they just do it on the down-low now.

      Eh, colonizing is nothing like it was in the past.

      Unpopular opinion, but I’d like to bring it back with improvements. The point shouldn’t be to enrich the investors, but to improve the world.

      Ex: The US could colonize Haiti and invest in making it a livable place.
