Biden appeared to accuse Putin of committing a 'genocide' in Ukraine : NPR

April 12, 2022

"Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away," he said.

Asked later what made him use the word "genocide," Biden replied, "Yes, I called it genocide. It has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being — being able to be Ukrainian.

Joe Biden is a genocidal terrorist. Don't ever come with the "lesser evil" again.

I fucking hate liberals so much. The fucking sanctions are war, the occupations are war, the entire American foreign policy is a strategy of tension and you are all warmongers intent on exterminating anyone poorer and browner than you who doesn't submit. frog-no-pretext

On the other hand, already more dead Palestinian civilian in Gaza than in Ukraine and 6 TIMES more dead Palestinian children than in Ukraine, all happened in less than 1 month versus 20 months in Ukraine, in a country with a population 20 times smaller than Ukraine’s, is clearly not a genocide.

Also - Ukraine is the size of Texas and Gaza is the size of Boston.

The tone deafness of this speech in the midst of the Israeli slaughter in Palestine is... Just holy fuck.

so to be clear Biden has decided that oil and gas prices should have nothing to do with cutting the supply of oil and gas via sanctions because he doesn't want them to
