Is there any proof there are actually millions of starving Afghans?

To me this seems like Xinjiang Genociiiiiide, Version Afghanistannnnnn!

The Western media continuously says that millions of Afghans are starving. But they never provide any real evidence. No pictures, no videos, no nothing. Just BBC articles saying that 10 million Uyghurs - sorry I mean Afghans - are starving.

Famine should be easy to prove. Show me videos of groups of starving Afghans. Show me the new mass graves, like we saw with COVID. I'll wait.

I don't know if there are actually millions of starving Afghans, but it doesn't seem far fetched to expect quite a significant number of impoverished Afghans under crippling US sanctions.

I agree with @victoon said, it wouldn't take that much to avert starvation in a country of only 30 million people. The real problem is how to deliver those supplies.

As for future considerations, the proverb 救急不救穷 comes to mind. Once the immediate crisis is alleviated, then China can work with the Afghanistan government to build economic relations.

I'm referring to a national level, not on an individual level. Black people overreact to the N-word and now it's a common slang for black people and anons mutter it everywhere. It's only a weakness, if you make it weakness.

But personally, if someone told me that I'd shrug. Why should I care that others don't see me as American or European? I'm not so desperate to need the White man's validation as being part of their society. Being a foreigner may even better thing especially now that the West is fast-tracking towards its own decline.
No shit. But geopolitically, why should China encourage or support Seoul-led Korean Reunification, when South Koreans are anti-Chinese racist savages and White worshippers? Your anti-SJW rant is great, but Chinese should keep the Koreans divided as much as possible for as long as possible and arm NK to the teeth with nuclear bombs. This will avoid South Koreans re-claiming Gando/Manchuria from China in future just like that ungrateful cunt neighbor (Vietnam) did post-unification despite tremendous Chinese aid to the latter. South Koreans will still worship White and Hate Chinese, even after Reunification, I can guarantee it.

Please do not use a strawman argument, it's a logical fallacy. Where do I mention Korean reunification? You replied to me first remember? Besides lesser and middle powers playing off larger powers is simply how the game of geopolitics is played as nation-states will always act in self-interest first. Being upset that they don't want to be overly reliant on one power is acting as if someone bluffing in poker is a huge travesty because they were dishonest.

But personally, if someone told me to "go back to China," I'd shrug and be like "If I were only so lucky but I'm a broke American" and then ask them to gofund my trip to China. Why should I care that others don't see me as a native American or European? I'm not so insecure and desperate that I need the White man's validation as being part of their society. Being an Asian national may even better thing especially now that the West is fast-tracking towards its own decline.
@In4ser bro it may take decades or the next generation that had interacted and experience racism. I do support Chinese student studying abroad, it is an eye opener either good or bad, there are No excuses for Naivety, it's a jungle out there and one must learn the ropes so to speak. When I was growing up I face constant bullying cause I'm Chinese, I learned to adopt and fight back to earned their respect. And at that Time Chinese martial arts is a "THING", I learn Sanda in Midschool and TKD in high school. So I can fight at street level adequately with scratches and wounds as trophy showing off to girls...lol

True that as there may come a time and place for that. I myself have been keeping in shape, arming and prepping myself for the potential fallout of racist violence here in America, especially if America loses in a war with China (i.e. War in Taiwan). A US victory will probably continue the status quo racism and even pity but losing to China means there's going to be a surge of violence for sure as they will look for scapegoats to blame for American weakness and failure. That's why I don't want war as nothing good will come from it for ABCs like me.

I used to think Dimon was a good banker. but this kind of view is mind boggling. he predicts the US is going to have the best year since the Great Depression. he gives only one piece of evidence: the US customers' balance sheet is the strongest on record.

we all know the strongest balance is due to the fact that Americans used the covid handouts to pay down their debts, and when interest rate is at zero, debt service ratio is supposed to be low. these are by no means intrinsic strength.

@In4ser bro compare to us, yours is more complicated, cause even a stupid and an idiotic opponent armed with a gun can killed you. Its not self defense anymore its survival.

Same feeling bro regarding the SCS, all our hard work and wealth can be seized as a compensation for the losses and defeat.

Agreed. That's why I'm careful to not let words trigger me. I prefer to respond proportionately in kind. With words, I respond with words as oftentimes humor or charm can disarm hostility but escalating a situation may end up out of control, especially if the other guy is a little bitch with a twitchy trigger finger. That is why while I deeply respect people who are very passionate and loyal but I'm also wary of such qualities as emotions can be used by others as bait to be ambushed.
