My take is, both parties bad, one far worse.

Ukraine’s making gains while Russia’s struggling, even resorting to bringing in North Korean soldiers. That just shows how desperate things are getting for them. If Ukraine keeps this up, no amount of imported troops is going to save Russia's position.

This kind of stuff has been an open secret for a while. The Modi government has a reputation for targeting Khalistan activists, and these incidents fit the pattern. Canada’s decision to publicly call it out just exposes what’s already been happening, and it’s about time the truth is addressed head-on, even if it means straining diplomatic relations.

Because some people's job helps others? Like a nurse does what they do to help save lives, not because they enjoy the workload.

There was a period in the early 2000's where China showed genuine signs it might open up and become somewhat democratic, giving its citizens greater rights and representation. Obviously they decided to revert to their authoritarian ways and brutally crack down on dissent to keep control over the people, but there was a time HK might've had a nice future under China.

No fucking way, Hong Kong was lost in 2014 after the yellow umbrella movement was brutally crushed. It was death by a thousand cuts ever since. Trump or no Trump, nothing was going to change that.

Ok that’s quite normal for rabbits or flies or something

What kind of racist nonsense is that!

And you don't understand how people can have a large extended family in a place they've called home for centuries? Where else do you expect these people to be if not in one place? It's not like Israel lets them into the rest of their own country.
