how possible is it for ukraine to get back its original borders? or is that completely out of the question?
people said russia is weak but some news are saying they are still gaining grounds nonetheless

The only way this would happen is if Ukraine were to beat the Russian Army in the field. Russia giving up territory voluntarily is politically untenable.
Ukraine can pretty much forget it. Russia has escalation dominance there.
Which does not mean Ukraine have to recognize these losses. But they can pretty much forget about it. Even if the US went in they have like a third the amount of active duty personnel that Russia has.
The Kharkiv and Kherson offensives were successful due to surprise and the Russians dropping the ball by pulling most troops out of there in antecipation of a deal. But it is doubtful this will be repeated.
The idea of a NATO no fly zone is also retarded. Russia has the R-37M and R-77M in mass production and NATO has nothing comparable. Russia can also strikes the concentration points of NATO aircraft with long range weapons.
The idea you can convince Russia to leave Ukraine by striking targets in Russia with long range weapons is also retarded. What it does is convince those people which were still on the fence in Russia that the invasion of Ukraine due to the danger it posses to Russia is justified.
The Chinese had this concept of placing insects in a jar until only one was left. This would be the strongest and most poisonous one. What the West are doing to Russia is creating an opponent which will be much harder to defeat.

Yes, but from my understanding China generally continues to tolerate a lot of underground churches anyway. Was there anything specific that triggered these arrests?
There was a reform in Chinese church about 120 years ago emphasizing self-support, self-propagation, and self-governance. It opposed foreign-funded clergy, encouraged believers to evangelize within their daily lives, and promoted locally funded church buildings and leadership training. Most grass root underground church followed this reform.
So clearly those smacked ones are accepting overseas funding.
Public Service Announcement:
Well known Sinophobe and "New Qing History" history revisionist user "virtual-alps-2888" (and his fellow Sinophobic circle jerker "EnclavedMicrostate" who is also the mod of r/chinesehistory) are now advocating on shamelessly vandalising Wikipedia articles about Qing dynasty and any other Chinese history related Wikipedia articles. Their aim is trying to undermine Chinese history as well as to forming a narrative to balkanize China and push anything that contributes to the Anti-Chinese narrative in general. By trying to falsely argue that Qing dynasty is somehow not Chinese, never Sinicized, has nothing to do with China or any related drivels - against all established historical facts and logic. They also want to advocate that any historical literature and interpretations regarding China should all be dominated by Anglo-Western historians (or even Korean and Japanese views) because all Chinese historians are "CCP-nationalist nutjobs" and "Commie Historians". This is blatantly malicious, and all these bad-faith acting all just to push their Sinophobic political agendas is absolutely shameless and pathetic, and a tight slap towards to efforts of preserving authentic and factual account of Chinese History.
And the pushing of this faux "New Qing History" idea is not surprising at all, this is the only way a Sinophobe can support their agenda by trying to disprove the succession and connection between Qing and Modern China. This is all about politics and Sinophobia disguised as a history discussion - and it all starts with advocating for malicious history revisionism.
Wikipedia vandalism is not new, in fact, the current Wikipedia articles about "South Tibet/ AP" and "XiKang Province/ 西康" (aka the ROC era name of eastern Tibet) are not only vandalised, but they are also currently under the permanent control of a group of Indian editors working full time, watching over it permanently and immediately reverse any form of changes. (Anyone that has been a Wiki Editor knows this.) This just further proved how unreliable, dishonest, lack of integrity and easily manipulated Wikipedia is, and especially so against China.
Those 2 users that I had mentioned are a well-known Sinophobes among "chinesehistory" subreddit circles for a reason. They are always pretentious and acting like they are objective but always consistently parroting BS arguments; selectively quoted sources out of context; selectively uses only western sources on China that is biased and politically driven and often debunked; using extremely twisted and obtused interpretation of history, semantics and events, and reaching ridiculous conclusions that are consistently Anti-Chinese. And all these malicious and bad faith behaviors just to revision history to push Sinophobic agendas is despicable and intellectually dishonest. And if these misinformation and malice are limited to just reddit it wouldn't be as big an issue, but now with this blatant and shameless advocacy to outright undermine and vandalise Wikipedia articles about Chinese history with the intend to mislead a much larger audience to pander towards Anti-Chinese history revisionism, this should thus rightfully be brought to attention. People should be vigilant to such despicable and reprehensible actions, and it must be stopped. Their misinformation tactics reminded me of those FLG-affiliated propaganda channels like "China Observer" which I wouldn't be surprised if they are related.
This is a just a PSA announcement that if you happen to see any or even just any China/Chinese related Wikipedia entries (and especially with changes that panders to Anti-China and Sinophobic views, or even outright lies and purposeful intellectually dishonest interpretation of history to revision it for the sake of Anti-Chinese agenda), then you know what is going on and who are the scums behind these. And take appropriate actions if possible.
ALSO: please refer to my past writings regarding this new form of malicious Sinophobic tactics. Which is also very relevant to this topic.
