Lazy argument. Get real.

What's the same? Government sets laws. People break laws. People go to jail for breaking laws. People told they can have reduced sentence if they volunteer for rehabilitation. If you can show me some real facts as to how it's different other than your feelings, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you're basing all of your knowledge of the Chinese corrections system on weak ass mainstream media propaganda.

Every terrorist is someone's freedom fighter. Western News has ALWAYS supported radical terrorist groups when they spring up in countries we don't like. This isn't rocket science. If there was genocide in Xinjiang it would be hard to contain. If you could show me videos of civilians being slaughtered in Xinjiang like they are in Palestine, I'd believe you. Until I see the footage though, it's all bullshit. Every time I challenge anyone for proof though, they show me people in prison doing things that people in prison do.

That's a dumb comment. I absolutely support Palestinians

That's an American law. You can't hold Chinese criminals to American laws. I can play this game too. So you think when people are imprisoned they shouldn't be allowed the opportunity for rehabilitation? Just prison forever, huh?

Well, considering that you can volunteer for reeducation or subject yourself to a prison sentence with hard labor, yeah, it's voluntary. And it's not just uyghers, not just Muslims, not just terrorists, but people from all over the country that're deemed to not be serious threats, given the opportunity to get out with good behavior if they go through reeducation, then it's really not that bad. Better than a US prison system

It looks like a prison... Which it is. Have you seen how the US treats terrorists and suspected terrorists in Guantanamo? These guards don't even have guns pointed at the back of their heads. There's no waterboarding or torture I'm seeing either. What are you expecting to see at a prison designed to contain and rehabilitate suspected terrorists? It's not a Disney vacation.

Because the government doesn't want a terrorist group to continue bombing the shit out of civilians so they reeducate them on not following terrorists. It's not really a bad thing to want prisoners to be reeducated on not doing crimes.

Arrests aren't being made against people because they're Muslim, they're arresting people that're suspected terrorists related to The Turkistan Islamic Party. The reeducation is based around not following terrorist groups and rehabilitation of terrorists.

Or you can rehabilitate and reeducate. You know, the thing that they're doing

The Turkistan Islamic Party keeps attacking civilians in Xinjiang but it seems nobody cares.

I apologize that your joke was so asinine that it went over my head. You should probably look up proxy war so you can understand it better and improve your shit talking. The US is using Ukraine to make money and stopping the war stops the war money. Either way, you're a big dumb dummy and you should go outside and touch grass

You think this is a proxy war between North and South Korea?! Welp, now that you've showed your hand I can see I'm debating a moron and there's no winning this one. Enjoy eating crayons, little buddy

If Russia was intended to continue advancing, they wouldn't have dug trenches. They're playing the long game. They knew the US would abandon Ukraine at the first opportunity and we did. This is just as much a proxy war with the West as it is a war with Ukraine. It's within the US's best interest to keep the war going on as long as possible so as soon as Ukraine started making gains we decided to pull back on the reigns.

War goals don't need to be achieved for Russia to declare victory. Putin would surely spin it as him being a kind leader that's willing to accept peace over war goals. But the real war goals have already been achieved anyways.

Polls = most accurate representation of real world scenarios that never differ from what actually happens...oh wait.

It must be really cool to see the world as an action movie. Unfortunately, here in the real world, things don't always play out where the good guys win through hard work and perseverance.

This is a very simple concept: big army with lots of troops and supplies needs to hold ground behind big ass river. Smaller army with less supplies needs to advance across big ass river. Not exactly a good scenario. Momentum is important in this situation because without it, the enemy builds defenses like trenches along the river. That momentum has already been lost.

As for the Ukrainians fighting on forever, Poland getting involved, and China abandoning Russia; this is entirely speculation based on your personal vibes. None of the factual ground evidence supports any of it.

That might be possible if they could maintain their momentum, but they clearly haven't and cannot. This is not a war of power or superiority or willpower, it's simply a matter of resources. Even though Russia has lost much more, they also have much more to lose.

That mindset has lead to the loss of many wars throughout history. It's easy to have so much pride and valor when you're no where near the front lines.

Killings won't go any higher after a peace treaty than they would without one. Either the war goes on and Russians keep killing civilians in occupied territory, or Russians keep killing civilians in conquered territory. I'd even water that killings of civilians would decrease if the war ended.

Option 1: keep fighting a war your losing, thus losing more soldiers, weapons, supplies, and civilians. Option 2: accept your losses and live to fight again another day.

Absolutely. That means they win and they get the land they sought after. One of their biggest goals was to regain control over the dnipro River so they could reopen the fresh water supply to Crimea that was cut off back in 2012

Solution: accept defeat. Draw new borders. Stop the bloodshed.

At this rate, if Ukraine depletes its ammunition, Russia will be able to roll over them. Best to draw up a treaty before the tables turn

The bar in the picture says it's a kilo which is $65, 344. While I could agree with OP that 10 kilos would give you an average house in higher priced areas like new York or LA, it would definitely buy you several nice houses in 1920.
