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

Brian Berletic from The New Atlas had already supported the claim that the US administration wanting to destablise and destroy China using official US government documents as evidence many times over. The truth is out in the open for all to find. The question is, do you want to know the truth.

Hope you move out of USA the next time that country starts a war of agression under the pretext of "fighting terrorism" or whatever excuse they come up with.

It's disappointing that JetBrains did not move out of Ukraine when the country started a war of aggression against the Russian people in the eastern breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where thousands of Russians were killed since 2014. Why the double standard?

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

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.

I find the claim that Ukraine is a "democracy" questionable considering the handling of the conflict in Donbas. Rather than allowing devolution of powers to the region, so that the predominantly Russian-speaking people of those regions can make local laws that reflect their interests, they have pursued a devastating 8 year long war. During the cause of this war, they have repeatedly reneged on promises made in treaties and deployed large neo-nazi militias, who view their activity in Donbas as part of an anti-slav race war. I do not think such actions are compatible with democracy.

As an independent nation Ukraine committed actual genocide against other ethnic religious population within its borders at least 3 times. 2 of them during the 20th century. Ukraine never acknowledged those, neither took responsibility, nor expressed any form of regret. If you think Ukraine is morally any better than Russia than you know no history. While very much against the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, Ukrainians should not be helped until they express genuine repentance for their historic crimes.

Yes and according to Russian investigative reporters, Ukraine has been proven to be run by nazis. The truth is out there open for all to find! The question is do you want to know the truth.

Are readers supposed to take name dropping of a random fringe guy from a fringe source to mean anything other than the original point should be taken even more skeptically.

Even worse, many locals still celebrate the thought leaders behind some of the genocidal activities in Ukraine.

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!

This reads like run of the mill CCP propaganda. All the usual talking points are there - equating Chinese government with the Chinese people and implying that any criticism of the former is a criticism of the latter.

Quoting a survey from early 2020 is extremely disingenuous when trying to assess the people's satisfaction with the central government that has rapidly expanded their use of draconian authoritarian measures since the start of COVID pandemic.

The final clue lies in your suggestion that "the west is trying to crack 'unity' of the Chinese people" when the original comment is simply praising the Chinese people for their bravery as they try to get their freedoms back.

The invasion of Iraq was launched through Saudi Arabia. Another great democracy!

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.

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).

Also… speaking Russian in public shouldn’t sentence a person to be hated, much less slapped across the face.

Oh you were born into a family that speaks the evil tongue? Off with your head, unless there’s some confusion it’s Ukrainian, in which case you’re safe.
