Krystal v Saagar on international relations

Through all of this Ukraine posturing, it is refreshing to hear Saagar repeat over and over again that 'wars of territorial conquest are out of date'; that is a principle everyone should be supporting. While Krystal is very clear about the ongoing crime of Israel annexing more and more Palestinian land by force, Saagar typically stays quiet. He is great on Uyghurs, but has callously joked supporting India in Kashmir. Saagar's geopolitics are hard to read, whereas I think Krystal is both anti-war but also pro human rights and international solidarity. Would love to hear Saagar square his politics on Uyghurs/China, India/Kashmir, and Israel/Palestine for us.

Please explain to me how rank choice voting will change the government for the better.
