Well, that’s marginally better than a partnership with Saudi Arabia or Qatar, I suppose. But it’s definitely not ideal that we’re partnering with a country that still occasionally sentences people to death by stoning for adultery.
(Yeah, yeah. The US is also pretty backwards when it comes to human rights and Russia wasn’t a great partner either. But still…)
