The exact number of executions carried out in China is not publicly disclosed, as the country treats execution data as a state secret. However, human rights organizations estimate that China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.

We got lucky, if big daddy z took that ride the west would be in a bad place right now.

Russia can never be safe, until the entire planet is subjugated by Russia.
Cultural paranoia as foreign policy.
Also, fallout moves, and they're literally next door.
Their water supplies would destroyed.
This is what Kursk bought Ukraine, by showing a willingness to bring the fight to Russia, and Russia showing they had no way to respond.
Yes! So much fewer!
Because they shoot them instead.
The CCP killed more Chinese than Genghis Khan, they're an occupying force, we pushed the Japanese out only to leave them to be conquered by someone almost as bad.
Please.
Have you lived in China for any amount of time?
It's an open-air prison administered by the CCP.
The Chinese people deserve so much better.
A former model who was a finalist in the Miss Switzerland contest was allegedly murdered and “pureed” in a blender by her husband, officials in Switzerland are reported to have said.

NATO: staying in Ukraine would put Russia 'at war' with NATO.
Considering your army can't take Ukraine, this really a fight you want to pick?
God, it really is the Russian religion that they're the only strong ones and everyone else is just so spoiled and weak, as your oligarchs tell you, from their mega yachts.
