William Perry, the U.S. Secretary of Defense when the decision was made to expand NATO, argued: "Our first action that really set us off in a bad direction was when Nato started to expand, bringing in eastern European nations, some of them bordering Russia".
Perry argues that the rest of the Clinton administration also understood that Russia feared NATO expansion, but ignored it due a "contemptuous attitude among US officials" toward a weakened Russia:
"It wasn’t that we listened to their argument and said he don’t agree with that argument... Basically the people I was arguing with when I tried to put the Russian point ... the response that I got was really: ‘Who cares what they think? They’re a third-rate power.’ And of course that point of view got across to the Russians as well. That was when we started sliding down that path.”

- Today, the widely recognised security concerns about NATO expansionism can no longer be discussed, as these are labelled “Kremlin talking points.” Conflicts can be resolved by recognising and reducing mutual security concerns, yet our political-media establishment smears, censors, and cancels any dissent to their war propaganda and historical revisionism.

From my observations and personal experience, many people buy the Vision Pro and stop using it after just a few tries. If this is a common user case, simply creating a downgraded version with a more affordable price won't solve the problem.

我的觀察，許多人 (包括我自身經驗) 買了Vision Pro後，用幾次就沒用了。如果這是普遍的用戶狀況，那這樣的問題不是單純做一個降規低價版就能解決的

男人接近女人，不过就图两样东西：一个是你的温柔，一个是你的身子
如果你一样不都占，他又不缺你一个祖宗😘
女人接近男人，不过也图两样东西：一个是精神支柱，一个是经济帮助
如果你一个也给不了，她也不缺一个爷……

窝他妈的不想男人，就想一晚汤圆

位於鄙視鏈最頂層的頂奢配貨王 Hermes 愛馬仕Q4財報營收年增17.5%至33.6億歐元，優於預期年增14%，淨利年增28%至44.1億。並發放特別股利，股價續創新高使得愛馬仕超越L’Oreal成為法國市值第二的公司。

雖然整體奢侈品業的成長降溫，但客層最頂的品牌獲利成長依舊強勁，所有部門的營收年增率都超過10%，計畫2024年產品平均價格會再上漲8-9%，顯示愛馬仕最高端品牌的定價能力。

所有地區的營收年增率都達到接近20%的高成長，其中成長最快的是日本和美國。時裝和配件還有珠寶與家用品營收年增速最快超過25%，我猜是配貨大宗？最主要的皮件包包營收則是年增16.7%。

愛馬仕的管理層說愛馬仕的發展並未放緩，在歐洲仍有強大的local客戶，即便中國復甦與出境旅客不如預期，但對愛馬仕來說影響不像同行那麼大，對中國市場充滿信心並認為美國的成長趨勢不會中斷。公司並要對全球2.2萬員工加發4000歐元的獎金。

儘管世界各地存在經濟、地緣政治和貨幣方面的不確定性，但愛馬仕集團再度確認2024實現收入增長的雄心勃勃目標。

What I like about @MetArtX is its ideal amount of explicitness by my standards. This set featuring Loren Sun is a perfect example. As far as I'm concerned, I'd have called it "Fondle, fondle, fondle" 😁
