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
define genocide
The intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part. Russia is doing that to Ukraine.
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.
Oh boy they returned 31 children of the tens of thousands they've kidnapped, truly Russia is a messiah-state here to deliver us from western oppression
Also I haven't made anything up, I've sourced all my claims, Ivan
you havent sourced all ur claims, you hide unsourced claims in between claims backed with the flimsiest sources. wikipedia warrior, go back to
Are the russians in the room with you right now?
Russiagate absolutely flattened the liberal brain. Truly as smooth as glass.
source?
Well it's not like Ukraine is providing an alternative
Hmmm
So the article claims, but it fails to refer to an incident. Russian fire has hit humanitarian corridors, as have Ukrainian. It is however only Ukraine that has shut down corridors and it is only Ukraine that has a track record of using civilians as a human shield
Well that was a horrifying read.
Here, you attempt to flame Ukraine for shutting down humanitarian corridors because Russians attack them, and your source also states that Russians attack them? Do you even read your sources?
And this doesn't even mention that, when Russia opened their own humanitarian corridors, they conveniently only led to Russian or allied Belarusian territory (instead of back to Ukraine, where a lot of these fleeing Ukranians wanted to go).
My source states that Ukraine claims Russia might attack them. Do you think they might have an agenda with statements such as those?
How would the corridor be able to lead back to Ukraine, if Ukraine shuts down such corridors? Of course it is not surprising, when Ukraine makes use of civilian human shields
So they set up in this "strategic" care home and refused to assist an evacuation? That's a nightmare
I don't like the russians all that much, but ukraine is literally just throwing people away to regain territory trying to free itself from them
fucking nazis
what would you do, oh paragon of morality? give them to ur heroic western human traffickers?
Are you claiming the Ukrainians are doing human trafficking here, or something else? Either way, if you have a good source I'd love to read it!
no. im claiming that opportunistic westerners are coming into Ukraine to kidnap women and children. here’s a UN report. an article and one woman’s story
Thank you for these sources!
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
