There is no war in Ba Sing Se

There is no war apparent, but in actuality there is a cruel war going on which the outsiders do not know about, bystanders do not talk about, and insiders fight using all means necessary while still trying their best to hide it from the public.

The saying originates

"Russia did not invade Ukraine, and there is no war in Ba Sing Se."

"Censorship does not go against free speech. There is no war in Ba Sing Se."

"There is no inflation above 2% in USA in 2022, just like how there is no war in Ba Sing Se."

there's a lot to unpack here

'Unpack' means to take things out of a package or temporary storage like a luggage bag. Usually to put them in their proper place. This phrase often is used in relation to personal problems people are discussing, often as a subtle way to indicate there's baggage involved in the conversation or issue that needs to be broken down and evaluated.

The phrase can be used when there is a lot of information to process or problems to solve. It's a response provided by a person asking the other to slow down and give time to sort out what they've been given.

"Okay Angel, you just gave an hour-long monologue about how your girlfriend dumped you because you can't hold a job to pay your car loan, your mommy issues, getting fired, and your confusion which pronoun you want to be called. There's a lot to unpack here."

"Look Karen, you can't just hand me a 30-page document that I've never seen, then demand I give you an answer why it's messed up. Especially when you expect the answer in less than three minutes. There's a lot to unpack here."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! There's a lot to unpack here!"
