Why is everyone here blaming Wimbledon? Comparing them to IOC etc? Saying they took a bribe or something. The AEC (owners of Wimbledon) and the LTA (Queens Club etc) were the only tennis associations to ban Russian players and were punished by the ATP and threatened with expulsion. ATP are the ones who would need to impose a ban if it was going to happen otherwise we're talking about 2 weeks of the tour they couldn't play.

It wouldn’t be. Even in modern settings, POTS isn’t just copper anymore. It is copper from a Central Office to the customer, Central Offices are connected together through fiber connections.

So when you are making a call, you are connecting to a telephone switch via a copper connection. The telephone switch talks to other switches via fiber.

That would be the 3rd genocide against Armenians if they do it. People talk about the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923, that resulted in 1.5 million deaths, but no one ever mentions the Hamidian massacres just 20 years prior, that resulted in up to 300,000 Armenian casualties. It was named after Ottoman sultan Hamid II, who wanted to further islamize the empire. About 25000 Assyrians were also killed.

There definitely seems to be a habit developing in the region, a habit of genociding Armenians.

Edit: I just found this list actually, seems there are even more, and generally caused by anti-christian sentiment.
