A stable country is a country that is primarily a country of X. What constitutes X may change over time, but it works fine if it is slow and gradual.

If it is not gradual and you have Y and Z beside X, is when trouble start. Middle East and lot of African countries is the example of this. Those people where unable to live together (too many cultural differences) in their home country, why should be different in Europe, where cultural differences will be even higher ?

Until just a few centuries ago most of the world population was split between Europe (West) and East Asia (East).

Plenty of people genuinely believed that if you were to navigate to the West of Europe you would fall off the border of the world (well, some still do).

Note that he said "everyone's civil liberty". It means that he thinks that it is not everybody's right, not that it is nobody's right. They want to keep the right for themselves.

I find that kubernetes yaml are a lot more complex than docker compose. And while I do, no, not everybody uses kubernetes.

Ubuntu too.
