Western liberals should just shut the gently caress up about Ukraine.

Selling weapons and egging nationalists on into a suicidal conflict while people still live in rural villages and old collapsing soviet infrastructure is going to be great from humanitarian and liberal values point of view.

I'm the -160k deaths low end of the estimate



It's all just numbers some lovely algorithm puts out rather than someone sitting down and looking at each country. You'd think "China resurrected 160k people with COVID" would be a big red flag about the validity of the analysis though.

I know you're joking but there's nothing implausible about Covid related travel restrictions preventing 160k excess deaths, which is what the report from noted CCP tabloid The Lancet actually says based on official death figures.

I'm a Chinese foreigner living in America and I'm finding it hard to make friends because there's an out of control airborne virus pandemic that has killed probably a million people and also there are beared men with Kalashnikovs riding around trucks who don't seem to like Chinese people? But maybe given enough time the first thing will deal with the second thing.

it's so ridiculous man. like call me tankie, but what has china done to deserve constantly being poked in the eyes by america? some bullshit in xinjiang? this fake peng shuai controversy? flying planes in fujian? like its so annoying man. being all buddy buddy with saudi arabia and israel, much more repressive and horrible states than china. I really think all this poo poo is being spread becuase america refuses to aknowledge that it's a failed state and CHina's on the rise. covid will make that a certainty. although what do I know, it seems like covid is "over" in america even with low vac rates and over a thousand deaths a day every day.

I know this is naive but I wish everyone could just get along. it was funny in 2016, everyone thought trump was retarded for how hardline he was on china, then dems and republicans all started swallowing his bullshit. sad.

Everything comes down to China replacing the United States as the dominant super power, there will likely be a nuclear standoff at some point.

The Manchukuo flag is my favorite, it really sells who made the map. The international settlement flag for Shanghai is also a strong one.

I am surprised there isn’t a Union Jack based flag for Hong Kong.

Oh yeah prevented deaths would make more sense, i.e. the US flu season being nearly nothing last year.

Why is India throwing in with a washed up and suicidal rump state?

"Throw in" is an odd term to use.

India has had close relations with Russia and before it the Soviet Union for decades.

India signing onto the US Quad was a big break from India's historical foreign policy and from what I have read has been received rather cooly by it's upper military brass.

It's not like America can do anything about India's ties to Russia unless it wants to blow up its own alliance.

one of the funny things about india is that the military is genuinely under civilian control and do what they're told even if they don't like it, unlike pakistan.if they lifted a finger against the government, especially the current one, a bunch of officers would get pogrom'd. the movie industry keeps trying to manufacture an Our Brave Troops military hero worship thing, like in america, but i think it's only taken amongst the middle classes and the majority of the country doesn't give a poo poo about the troops.
