I'm also not going to come up with conspiracy theories until there's been some time to go over evidence and analyze the situation.
Respect for that. It's a reasonable and rational response to today's series of events, despite the temptations of role-playing as a conspiracy theorist to escape from having to think about the hypothetical consequences of said events.
Well said.
I understand and respect looking up to the achievements of smaller communist states that actually care about their own citizens wellbeing and lack the desire to exploit foreign nations, but China, Russia, and North Korea aren't in that list. Being a powerless citizen of the United States or other (non-EU) Western countries sucks, but it usually doesn't suck as badly as being a powerless citizen of those three.
