The question remind me of one of the times Argentina defaulted and tried to re-negotiate the debt. A hedge fund refused to accept the offer and soon enough some argentinean warship was impounded in Ghana. Defaulting I'm guessing means the start or the continuation of a crisis of credibility. Whereas debt relief appears happens so often you don't even hear about it.
They talked about shitcoins and milk, but I'm sure what they actually mean is dollars. Next step is to allow people to pay taxes in dollars, and now the dollarization goes from de-facto to institutional.
Can someone explain to me how productivity grew when a bunch of people were laid off?
Squeezing more out of the business on a per worker basis? Benefitting from government policies with fewer employees actually on the payroll? Hard to tell unless we read the actual methodology, I think.

same thing with brazilians. israel is pretending hamas is holding our people back, but even some of the bourgeois media here will report otherwise.

Reading this shit makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Not a peep from western sources about Zelensky reaffirming commitments to sovereignty with Azerbaijan, who's just wrapping up an illegal invasion and ethnic cleansing operation.
It shouldn't make you feel like you're going crazy because it makes sense in the same cruelty that you always see with geopolitics. Artsakh was not a legal part of armenian territory. So what transpired there wasn't an invasion per-se. And besides, the ukrainian government wants to promote something between apartheid and cultural genocide in crimea and the donbass, which is what the azeri state ended up doing in N-K. It's the same reasoning behind how China didn't diplomatically re-affirm its commitment to territorial integrity in the wake of the Ukraine War. Because legally Taiwan is a part of China and only exists as a separate territory de-facto.
What's shocking to me is that Armenia seems to have no friends anymore. All debates online between Armenians asking themselves and each other what to do next reveal a complete loss of direction. Some stand by Russia, saying they are the only ones who can do anything. Others say Russia didn't count for much ultimately. A great many online say they must court the West. Some counter saying the West has no presence in the region. Except for, you know, Turkey, which is the NATO marcher state! A few point out the only country who even approaches going out on a limb for Armenia is Iran, with troops at the border and arms sales. But that doesn't seem to dissuade the people who want to court the West. It's like every move the Armenians can move only serves to create a consensus for their political isolation in the region. The best I can find are fringe far right greeks who like to support Armenia as a stepping stone towards their dreams of Megali Attempt 2.0.
all things and concepts are bourgeois if you can profit from them. case in point, wedding planners. in the people's republic of earth all weddings shall be planned by a chatgpt run by the government.

I am only glad we agree that all heroes fighting against this occupation and seizure of syrian national resources should be supported.
Is the situation complex? Yes, but considering that NATO has destroyed and occupied several countries in the region I don't think people here will develop a high opinion of US proxies - be they in Yemen, Syria, Libya or Iraq.
Lines were drawn in the sand when the western world led a decades long campaign to occupy and immiserate the middle east. Some in the region saw their fortunes in supporting that campaign. Far too many on the other side of the equation have been martyred already.
