It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Whoops I cut off their reply halfway thru.
Geopolitics is when you think people shouldn't die in a senseless war. It's also somehow unrealistic
Yeah they should just submit to a genocidal invader! That's WAY better than dying!
define genocide
The intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part. Russia is doing that to Ukraine.
We have evidence of Ukraine banning the use of the Russian language, import of Russian books, Russian music, the banning of "pro-Russian" political parties. So we know Ukraine is engaging in what could be called cultural genocide. I'd love to see your evidence of actual genocide happening, though. I'm sure it's real!
proof?
Well the Russians have been stealing Ukranian children and forcibly adopting them into Russian families to rob them of their national identity. They've been bombing civilian population centers and infrastructure. Putin put out this silly speech in which he claims that Ukrainians are just confused Russians and that's why they need to come back into the fold (and just let their country and identity be destroyed). Lotsa proof there. I think the fact you haven't found any and are still asking belies your biases (you're probably another fucking Kremlin stooge).
By this metric all war is genocide
So the western liberal believes that orphans should be left in a war zone?
Ukraine uses child soldiers and brag about it so it's a wholesome thing now I guess.
Are you saying that there are only two options? You either leave them to die or indoctrinate them into Russian families? No in-between?
You know the Russians are contacting family members and reuniting children with families, right? https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-children-returned-illegal-deportations-russia/32355290.html They try to frame it in a vicious manner because the liberal brain is soft and easy to manipulate, but the facts are those children were in Russia and given back to their families.
You're just making up unhinged fantasies.
Well it's not like Ukraine is providing an alternative
what would you do, oh paragon of morality? give them to ur heroic western human traffickers?
this is the only part of ur comment that could feasibly be considered genocide and you didnt provide a source. and wikipedia isnt a reliable source
and Ukraine has been bombing civilian centers for the past decade. and that is well documented. maybe Ukraine is the real genocidal power
No just no. I lot of Ukrainians live in Russia or fled to russia. Russia would've started with them first if they wanted to do something that.
It's a imperialist war at best started to secure a very strategically important location.
