      genocided

      Liberals really have successfully robbed the word genocide of any and all meaning through over use.

      An act that has actively made it easier for Israel to commit an actual genocide, incidentally.

        I cannot agree with this statement.

        Consider how many genocides have occurred since the 1948 convention and its ratification in 1951. Now consider that three have been legally recognised – and led to trials – under the convention:

        Rwanda in 1994, Bosnia (and the 1995 Srebrenica massacre), and Cambodia under the 1975-9 Pol Pot regime.

        Israel will have its day to atone for its behavior. They have become what they despise.

          Israel will have its day to atone for its behavior.

          They’ve been doing it for decades. The day of atonement will only come when the liberal ghouls currently protecting them - who believe that genocide simply means “when our enemies do something bad” - are categorically forced out of power.

      Also, even if it wasnt a war of extermination:

      Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for protection. Do you think anyone else is going to be dumb enough to do that in the future?

        I am pro-Ukrainian in this conflict, but this is untrue. Point to the specific wording in the accord that supports what you’re saying, if you can.

          I’ve never read it directly, just seen this referenced, but I remember seeing something about it in a textbook (or something? That kind of paper), and an anti nuclear friend of the family holding Ukraine up as an example back in like the 90s.
