We've heard that there's other stuff happening in Eurasia and this thread has historically been a good place to discuss that, but it's not really feasible with it being the de-facto war updates thread. We've had a few requests to shunt discussion of the war over to a dedicated thread so that this thread can not be overwhelmed by this one specific issue so we're going to ask that anyone interested in minute-to-minute updates on the war head over to this specific thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3994250

Obviously, this thread will touch on that topic a lot, especially as it relates to the relations between Ukraine and the rest of Eurasia, but if we could get folks who are posting twitter updates of things happening, debunking or bunking of the Ghost of Kyiv, updates on troop movements, etc. over to the dedicated thread, we would all appreciate it.

I'll be quoting this every page or two until things shift, so apologies in advance for the upcoming thread spam.

As much as I genuinely enjoy warchat, can we can get a primer on this story? Some kind of massive human trafficking ring involving CPC officials?

Human trafficking to culturally disconnected rural areas primarily for "wives" has been a decades long issue in China, with kidnapping(mostly in cities) rates being estimated close to ten times the international average rate.

The idea that corrupt officials would be involved doesn't surprise me, but is a new twist

The Ukrainians are getting absolutely rinsed, I think the only variable that actually matters is how long Zelensky is willing to hold out. He's already got his own Volkssturm shooting each other in the streets, but he can't really back out now because it seems like social media has really given him a savior complex. Is he even considering surrender at this point?

Yeah, this is something that concerns me. Zelensky basically has most of the international media egging him on and cheering his resistance. It's like global peer pressure to go out in a blaze of glory.
