The nature of corruption crackdowns in China is an open secret and has been for decades, and it gets covered in college level subject matter courses even when those courses are run by expats. Corruption is not unique to China, as you note, but that's not the assertion being made. There are rigorous anti-corruption laws on the books, but they are not enforced and in fact many of the illegal behaviors are almost impossible to not engage in while being an effective official. The reason for this is that the desire of the state is to be able to remove anyone from power at any time for actions routinely undertaken as a matter of business by everyone. In this way, anyone can be subject to an externally valid looking "anti-corruption crackdown" when they are inconvenient to whatever power figure or initiative; after all, they have been breaking the anti-corruption laws the entire time. This, again, has been a known quantity for decades.
Of course, selective enforcement of a law is and can be a problem anywhere. As you note in your comment, different countries engage in misconduct in different ways; and various partisan kingmakers in the US are said to only support candidates on whom they have blackmail in order to have control. However, in a single-party system, this goes from internecine factionalizing to unifying at the national level.
But the mere idea that different political systems in different nations might engage in corruption differently is hardly "racially driven."

That's not really attacking Russian territory though is it?
SAMs (at least Western ones, the S-300 has a land-attack capability which is somewhat unique) are generally thought of as defensive, although obviously shooting at aircraft across a national border in another country is indeed (at least during peacetime) offensive...

Those would be legitimate targets because they launched attacks against Ukraine.
But that’s a risky business because if Ukraine causes civilian deaths in Russia proper, you best believe the troll army is going to make you never forget.
Also, I don’t think it would lead this conflict to a good place

We're getting there. Blinken has already called on Biden to let them. Pretty sure there's just a scramble in DOD to prep for any fallout. Once it's covered there will be an announcement. Ukraine support is high, again, now that MAGA has stopped its whining. Politically it would be popular and further alienate the Russian wing of our own government.

..."while making it harder for Russia to yell Escalation"....
I mean when the first shipment of aid consisted of used helmets and some food and medicine, they immediately threatened to Nuke the world if there ever be any help to Ukraine lol. You can fart and they will yell "Escalation" anyway, I think people should realize that a real escalation is completely different, sending military aid without direct involvement is fine. Let's just do what Russia's allies do in Ukraine too.

It is absolutely some statesmanship and geo-political coverage for France. France and Ukraine can do the spider man meme pointing at each other, saying "I meant this" "I thought you meant that".
Ukraine can hit manufacturing facilities that make artillery, drones, etc because targets are "launched" from those, with a little dotted line to the actual launching sites.

Unfortunately, until the US agrees to the same thing, they will not have enough weapons to make a difference. The UK and France have now said "Feel free to attack military targets that are attacking you", but they only represent a small fraction of the weapons that UA has received unfortunately.

The question is if it would lead to a war with Nato. Both things are an esculation that dosnt nessesary have to trigger a war. Lets say a ship in internation water transporting ammo from uk gets hit. Not nessesarly an attack on Britain itself. Would they be willing to go to war over military aid? Maybe, maybe not. Its a gamble.

Yes from a juridical perspective and from Ukraines point of view it deffinetly is the same. That still does not mean Russia would not respond to such actions, and its far from necessary that the west is willing to take that response. Its alot easier for us to just support ukraine like we do and not risk those responses. If thats a significant risk its not unlikely that quite some countries would simply stop supplying aid since they would consider it too dangerous. In that case it would be more strategical to just not allow it.
Its deffinetly a difference in the amount west supports Ukraine and how heavy our participation in the war is.
We cant get around that there is a difference in sending ukraine weapons that they use on their own land and that they use in a nighbouring land

Two countries are fighting, both territories should be struck. Otherwise it would lead to things like in Kharkiv, where russia can freely amass troops on the border, fearing nothing.

Also, this should be clear without saying, no one would support that, and nothing indicates that UA will start bombing civilian.

Look at how the tables have turned.
Americans once dropped atomic bombs on civilians twice, with a plan to do it a third time; we put the Japanese in concentration camps, we drafted millions of soldiers to fight overseas, and we’ve used falsified evidence to justify wars that we shouldn't have taken part in. The French have been seen as timid and weak over the last two centuries, hesitant to fight in many of our past conflicts.
Now, in 2024, America bows down and submits to dictators; we are too hesitant to fight back, too afraid to defend ourselves overseas for fear of diplomatic repercussions. We replaced tenacity and aggression with fear and hesitancy. We replaced patriotism with gay pride, and we replaced strength with weakness, we labeled patriots as extremists, and we gave away our reputation as the global power and replaced it with being the most easily exploited, blackmailed, spineless nation on earth. Even Afghanistan has borders. People can't just walk across. Even though the poorest countries have patriotism, they dare to defend themselves; America doesn't.
Foreigners destroyed America from the inside with toxic ideas that we are a horrible, guilty nation undeserving of respect, so we don't even ask for it.

Boots on the ground aren't always preferred. Not just because you put the soldiers at risk, but also because a firefight may cause even more collateral damage. Especially when the enemy blends in with the civilians.

That article has a cool video of Palestinians talking about the explosion saying a secondary explosion of an ammunition warehouse spread fire. Said the initial Israeli missile strike was small because it didn’t leave a big hole. The IDF said the missile they used was the smallest size their jets can load. It resulted in the death of 2 commanders of Hamas. Nearby the satellite shows a missile launching site, making it, the warehouse and confirmed commander deaths, entirely a legal strike internationally, and civilian deaths entirely (again international law) the fault of Hamas to store, man, & utilize for military purposes near civilians. Last bit debunked Hamas propaganda that the strikes was in an IDF Safe Zone, since the strike was 1.5 miles from it.

Simple truth is there are over a billion muslims in the world, and 16 million jews.
And as much as we in Israel would like to keep religion out of this conflict, a large muslim population worldwide views this conflict as a war of religion, whereas the far left sees it as a war against colonialism and romanticizes terrorists as freedomfighters.
So you have around 10 million Israelis, out of whom maybe 7.5m Jews, then who the hell is going to fight that information war? The ratio is insane.
Add to that the fact that the muslims are much more prone to extremism and are way louder and more violent that the jewish protests.
Oh and the fact that most of them get their 'news' via a chinese app that sure likes to sow disinformation and divide, and you have your answer.
Israel can only protect itself through means of diplomacy between states, where evidence, law and facts are taken into consideration, and not by 3 minutes out-od-context tiktok video.
That is why there is a wide divide between the citizens, who are often anti israel, and the governments, who are more prone to support Israel, as theyre getting their intelligence and facts through unbiased independent outlets.

> Recent polls run by the Palestinian polling group PSPCR, while Hamas is far more popular than the PA, if the election was run today and Marwan Barghouti was an option, he'd win. And he has more support in Gaza than the West Bank.
You are omitting the fact that if Marwan Barghouti DIDN'T run (would still be in prison), Hamas is projected to win over 70% of the seats.
Marwan Barghouti is considered even more extremist than Sinwar was at the time of his release so I have no idea what point you're attempting to make. You believe Barghouti is some kind of moderate? Abbas is just corrupt, but Barghouti is extremely dangerous, like Sinwar. He is an ideologue.
To be clear, in the Shalit deal, Israel was willing to release Sinwar but categorically *refused* to release Barghouti. That is how dangerous Barghouti is.

First of all, I hope you understand GPD doesn't mean income, profit or anything like that.
Why are you criticizing European countries for not spending a total percent and then talk about U.S. total spending?
You know how it's possible that U.S. total spending is more than all of Europe combined? Because all of Europes combined economies are comparable to 70% to 75% of the U.S. economy.
I don't refer to this data when I try to start a pissing contest. I'm happy for everything that is provided to Ukraine. I refer to this data mostly when people of one country talk shit about another country, when that shittalk is easily refuted by these numbers.

It’s just hiding the massive difference in wealth from the poorer citizens. No real systemic changes to fix the corruption.

It shouldn't ban people from posting "wealth flaunting". There are topics that should be banned "Illegal material for example" but banning users from posting their wealth which can literally be anything since everything has a value and a person who posts their antique vase collection can be argued to flaunt their wealth since their vases are expensive.
This is a dumb law and CCP is being CCP with controlling their society. This isn't something that should be celebrated.
If you have a problem with wealth flaunters who post their supreme shirts and bugatti cars. Block them. But arresting them or prohibiting them to express themselves just because is wrong. Especially when this prohibition comes from the government.

I’ll try again
I think you’re overthinking my comment. It was rather a general commentary on how those things suck and social media needs to have significantly tighter regulations than current
