I am sure you can provide sufficiently strong evidence to shoulder your burden of proof? Because the US, the state with the most extensive espionage systems and dozens of secret services could not.
If you claim China is commiting genocide provide the evidence. You made the claim, you have to provide the evidence, that is how ther burden of proof works. Said evidence must withstand scrutiny, of course. Anyone can make up official looking bullshit.
The nine dash line is open to negotiations as recent ones with Vietnam have shown. "Taiwan", actually called the Republic of China, is the rump state of the losing side of the chinese civil war. It only exists because the US interfered. It considers itself China, the PRC considers it China. Only you ignorant people don't. It is a wholy internal matter of the chinese people.
There is no state called "Taiwan", get it already.
Oh yes, I played a mage in both and the difference was startling.
In the first part you have immensly powerful spells, that could also backfire hard because the game had friendly fire. At high levels you could wipe everything on the screen, including your party.
In the second, friendly fire was gone so you could blast away and suddenly you spun around like a kung-fu master for some reason.
Buddy, if some organisation exists that has members, there will always exist "de facto" members (ones that support the organisation to a large extent, but are not also de jure members), de jure members (members that don't do anything) and both (the rest).
The organisation can make PR about how it has "partners" and the like, but that does not change a thing.
2014, escalation into war started 2022. By that point, one million people had fled to Russia.
If you then remember the rethoric of the Ukr government and soldiers in Donbas how they want to get rid of the russians... ethnic cleansing is the term that fits.
Russia was building trust for years beforehand. Putin spoke twice in the Bundestag for example, the goal was a free trade zone from Lisabon to Wladiwostok. Russia also asked to join NATO. It got declined both times.
Even when the coup happened in Ukraine, Russia attempted multiple diplomatic initiatives to deescalate the situation.
Do you know who always escalated? Who was always pushing for conflict? Hint: It wasn't Russia.
Sweden and Finnland, both already being de facto NATO members beforehand...
You're not too informed baout this international politic thingy, aren't you?
Ziel war, über einen Waffenstillstand Zeit zu gewinnen, um später zu einem Frieden zwischen Russland und der Ukraine zu kommen. Sie hat diese Zeit hat auch genutzt, um stärker zu werden, wie man heute sieht.
Maybe read the rest. Macht deine Position weniger peinlich.
I'm german, let me translate: "The goal was to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine via a ceasefire. She (Ukraine is meant here) also used this time to get stronger (considering the context here being military conflict, it means stronger in the military sense.), as can be seen today."
Just randomly. Ignore anything from 2014 to 2022. Putin woke up one day and decided invading Ukraine would be rad. Events always happen disconnected from each other, don't you know? While you're at it, also ignore anything from 1990 to 2014. Nothing to see here, move on.

When its past bad thing you were totally against it, when its current bad thing your support it. Liberals like you truely oppose every war of their empire but the current one.
The man tried to resign four times. It always was denied.
Trotsky and Bukharin constantly crossed him and he let them until hey tried to murder him. Hell, he defended Bukharin even then.
In short you are off by several universes.
