Think of all the...non weapons Russia is getting from China and how that's gonna increase given current trends.

If it makes you sleep at night, sure. The difference is, of course, there isn't a war declared against the homeless.

Meanwhile, "inter arma silent enim lēgēs". I wouldn't be surprised if they start slapping "security certificates" (yes, that's actually what it is called. Go and look it up) on random Chinese permanent residents soon just for starters, just like they did to random brown people back when US and friends were active in Iraqistan. The "camp of fun outdoor activities" happens later when everyone is riled up in war fervour.

You are underestimating people's ability to rationalize all sort of wacky things. The guilt part could always be satisfied with some weepy sh*t about "complete lack of regards toward minorities' human right and rule of law" written 70 years after the fact when most people affected were already dead, and cash compensation to only those still alive by then equal to 200$ in present value.

I mark myself as "exempt" so I dont have to pay Federal income taxes, but social suckerity is still deducted..

I cashed out my 401k "investment" scam

The $65k I borrowed is unsecured debt on credit card spread across three cards, in Texas there is no wage garnishment for unsecured debt so even if the card company sell it to debt collection and they sue me in court and win, nothing they can do to me... plus lawsuits take forever... it once took me 5 years to settle a speeding ticket that I represented myself pro se on.

This is all a moot point anyway, in a year, two at the most, we are all going camping... but at least I got to enjoy the A5 wagyu and caviar and luxury cruise vacay etc etc etc

With their policy of executing on the spot troopers who attempt to retreat or surrender, and a disregard for losses that is shocking for modern warfare, Wagner’s disposable penal battalions have emerged as a unique threat to Ukrainian defenders, advancing at the time when the regular Russian military remains largely stalled.

No military in a democratic society can keep sending wave after wave of soldiers to near-certain death to gain another few hundred yards. Even Russia’s regular armed forces, known for their high tolerance of casualties, shy away from dispatching troops on clearly suicidal missions. Yet it is precisely such an approach that has allowed Wagner to come to the verge of capturing Bakhmut, at a cost that Ukrainian and Western officials estimate at tens of thousands of Russian casualties.

At times, up to 18 human waves of Wagner troops have attacked a single trench here in a 24-hour period, said Sr. Lt. Petro Horbatenko, a battalion commander in the Third Storm Brigade, one of the Ukrainian units on the Bakhmut front.

“A Wagner fighter doesn’t have an option to pull back. Their only chance of survival is to keep moving ahead,” he said. “And this tactic works. It’s a zombie war…They are throwing cannon fodder at us, aiming to cause maximum damage. We obviously can’t respond the same way because we don’t have as much personnel and we are sensitive to losses.”

The moment the US ever goes all in again on active concentration camps they will be effectively toast, for the Global South absolutely would not support that and would give China and Russia full reason and justification to eliminating the US regime once and for all.

The Global South? Well I don't recommend counting on them. That group also includes high Sinophobia countries like India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Turkiye etc. There are a lot of people in those countries who might actually support active US concentration camps for the ethnic Chinese.
