If this is correct, and it looks like it is: Good! 2022 has been a bad year for first Russia, then Iran and China and I hope they'll come crashing down, mostly because of the courage of Ukrainians as well as Iranian and Chinese citizens, but also because of actions like this. Good work Jetbrains!

The millions of Uighur locked away love their government eh?

Probably only after the “re-education”.

Keep in mind that By posting such hyperbolic and unsupported statements, the other comments posted are viewed with the same level of credibility.

You keep equating Chinese people, Chinese government, and Chinese history. Those three are not exactly the same thing, no matter how much Xi and the Communists try to push that ideology on the world.

Now if only people in USA had courage to stand up and start prosecuting those behind drone strikes and invasions of Iraq and Afganistan.

One thing can be right without the other being wrong. I personally welcome criticism against USA as long as it isn't based on hate of USA but on general ideas. Very simplified: one should be ready to be proportionally critical to everyone else. For a practical example: I do not find it useful to listen to people who criticize USA (43000 dead civilians in Afghanistan in 20 years) while being utterly silent on Soviet R…

Both were dictatorships and terrorist nations. Not even close to equivalent. Ukraine is a democracy of 45 million people that's never threatened another nation.

Lol. The USA is the premier terrorist nation in the world, they funded Al-Qaeda and countless anti-communist militias and right-wing terrorist cells across the world. So according to your definition, the USA deserves to be invaded, since they are "a terrorist nation". Also, Ukraine has not been a real democracy for a long time. The communist party is banned ( https://ukrainetoday.org/2022/07/05/ukraine-banned-the-com…

Afghanistan has suffered greatly under the Taliban. Ask the women there how their lives are... As for Iraq, ask Iranians how they feel about Saddam? Or the Kuwaitis? Or the Kurds? Or the many dissidents that Saddam murdered...

And Ukraine didn't ban opposition parties, it's obvious you know nothing about their politics. They literally only banned parties that were ACTIVELY helping the Russians kill their own people. All the non-treasonous parties are still there. Also, every western country has special wartime laws. And considering Ukraine has had 3 different parties in power from the last 3 elections, you could argue they're among the most democratic countries...

I've read various reports of Russians getting a hard time in Europe (woman slapped in face on the street while speaking russian on her phone). Reminded me that Russians escaping Russia are refugees too.

> Reminded me that Russians escaping Russia are refugees too.

They're dissidents, not refugees. Their country isn't being attacked nor under invasion.

This probably happens on a miniscule scale, given the big Russian diaspora in Europe. There are also practical "problems" - a westerner (even western Slavic speaker) has no chance to distinguish Ukrainian language from Russian (or even Russian speaking Ukrainian).

I've read various reports of Russians in Europe supporting war (while escaping from mobilization). Reminded me that SOME Russians escaping Russia want Ukrainians killed, but do not want to do die trying.

lol. The Communist Party of China is made up of millions of Chinese, so how are the two not the same? And no, the Chinese government has never pushed its ideology onto the world, unlike the US.
