Moreover, ridiculous is that aliens would be content with staying in the closet and at risk of be uncovered, like a lover in cheating wife's closet. Whatever the USG wishes, the first contact will be on the arriving party's terms.

Some of this is true - but by Soviets , not Russians. I'm not sure why you would conflate the two. Was Stalin Russian? Perhaps Beria? Trotsky? Dzerzhinsky? Lenin? :) The stupidity of "Russians has occupied Baltics and killed all

China is not so dangerous in this regard because it is not appealing. It has great amount of economic power, but culturally it is very insular, plus the story of Chinese Uighurs, making people (in Central Asia especially) wary of fully embr

Meanwhile, JVM ecosystem looks down on the choice between OpenSSL and pure-Rust Python chain, because it have been using a managed, pure-Java X.509 chain for 25 years now. I believe it also had various implementations under common API.
