By the way, how is China coping with the vast flood of immigrants trying to move there? Oh, that's right -- there aren't any.

How’s judiciary in US? Still imprisoning millions of random people for being poor and using them as slave labour?
As for "millions of random people for being poor" I think you'll find they were imprisoned for committing crimes, and imprisoned after a jury trial or a plea bargain.
As opposed to, I don't know, publishing a newspaper in Hong Kong. Or being Uyghur.
It does show a bias that at this point should be obvious even to you: you are conditioned to believe US prison victims - I’m guessing including those forced into slavery - deserve it, and to believe those imprisoned for all kinds of felonies in China don’t.
Just for due diligence, I looked at your "references":
1) the first two are from the same person, and are unattributed. So I kind of doubt they're even true.
But let's pretend they are: "irrelevant formality" -- going to your probation appointment is pretty important. It's not "nothing." Probation is what they gave you instead of prison. I thought you were in favor of keeping people out of prison.
"Dirty urine" probably means they were using drugs. They were let out of prison on the promise that they'd stay off drugs. You think people should use drugs after pledging not to?
2) your third one: One extremely biased side of a case which I assume has other sides, from an extremely biased source. Try to do better.
as for the "felonious" people in China: what did the Uyghurs do to deserve it?
If you talk to almost any defense attorney (as I've done), they'll freely admit that the vast majority of their clients are guilty.
>as for the "felonious" people in China: what did the Uyghurs do to deserve it?
Terrorism. The difference between Uighurs and the victims of American invasion on Middle East is that Chinese aren’t mass executing them from safe distance like Americans do.
I haven't seen any serious claims (except from the remains of the pro-Putin nutcases, and the amount of these went to like 1/10000 the state before the war) about US hostility for a very long time - most people here think that giving up Afghanistan was a huge mistake. Most of my friends who didn't like the US acting as world police have said they were mistaken.
China did take anti-Russian stance. Their strategic investments were redirected to other countries. They are complying with embargoes, differently from Germany (https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1563534129534500874 for a somewhat related story) and some other western countries. Of course you won’t find it mentioned in mainstream western media.
Invading Afghanistan was a mistake, but most of all it was a crime against humanity. And the worldview that got US into that - same as worldview of Putin, essentially the belief that their country has god-given right to invade others - is still there. There are more similarities, like protecting their war criminals from justice. Or ideologically-motivated oppression: https://twitter.com/erininthemorn/status/1563223736681381888.
My local mainstream media is reporting about Germany correctly and in full, btw. But yeah, we like to shit on Germans, other nations might not be alike in that.
> but we can’t forget Middle East, same way we can’t forget Trump and resulting deterioration of human rights.
Agreed.
> same as worldview of Putin, essentially the belief that their country has god-given right to invade others
Crimes against humanity are happening in Afghanistan now in much greater number than when the US Army was there.
I think that coming to resolve problems such as were/are in Afghanistan is the correct thing to do (not saying the practice worked out perfectly and that there weren't problems). That's absolutely incomparable to Putin who's there to take children, gas/oil fields and access to Black Sea, not to help.
Because, well, that’s exactly what Rashists say about invading Ukraine. Once again: same mentality.
"invading Afghanistan and killing two hundred thousand random people"
there's that word "random" again. You disqualify yourself from any serious discussions when you keep using that. You're throwing around crazy numbers like someone on The View.
So you are saying all those droned kids were combatants, not random victims?
>You're throwing around crazy numbers like someone on The View.
Those are official statistics, you’ll find them quoted on Wikipedia. Let me guess: they look weird to you, because your media only reports loses on the invading side.
Also - you really believe those two hundred thousand people killed, as “US aid to Afghanistan”, were Taliban?
