Quote:Really appreciate the wealth of knowledge, experience and opinion you've provided over the last six months. Learned a lot. Would love an opportunity to discuss and debate your political opinion above, but alas. . . .
Sorry, that was probably too gratuitous an aside for trying to stay out of a political discussion on here. I could link the pro-Russian AF and anti-US intervention in Ukraine statements from the three people I mentioned but I think it would just be a diversion, you're welcome to find them and come to your own conclusions of course about their motivations.
I'd be willing to have that discussion over beers at a Stanford tailgate (in a very limited fashion) but talking politics with strangers on the internet I don't think usually ends up changing minds or really educating anyone beyond their priors.
