The definition isn’t wrong, they just didn’t read it correctly. Those things in the UN convention are methods that could be used to “cause the destruction of a people”. They’re spelled out to avoid people misinterpreting the definition just like they did.
Yes, and you can destroy a group by means other than killing its members, such as forced sterilization, systematic abuse, or the transfer of children away from the community. It’s the demo that’s being killed, not necessarily its individual members.
Genocide also doesn’t imply killing.
It was an irresponsible luxury he does not approve of. He’d love to do it, but he’s too responsible to indulge.
If this is all above board, this is one of the most considerate acts of terrorism there could be. It obviously wasn’t the bombers just accidentally setting the wrong time so that busses just happened to be empty. And that there was a message on one of the bombs that just happened to not explode sure seems like it was intended to not explode. If you’ve got access to something the size of a bus, intend for it to explode, and want a message to survive, you don’t put it on the bomb.
There’s no such thing as “authorization”. The US can make whatever deals it likes, it doesn’t mean Ukraine has to listen. There’s no such thing as “international enforcement” in the first place, just individual nations flexing power on other nations.
US weapons are important to Ukraine, so the US could flex that power and try to make Ukraine do what it says by withholding them, but if they think they can go it alone or Europe steps up, they don’t need to listen.
Tankies are just extremely weird people.
No you didn’t. Every major country has standing armies well over 100k. The entire EU has ~1.3M active duty troops.
Just FYI to other readers, this is just made up. Like not even “did a search and is being a little hyperbolic”, just not even in the vague realm of reality.
One side being weaker and reliant on outside support is not what makes something a proxy war.
Good on the AFP for being willing to put the critical context in the headline instead of just trying to present bland data.
They had to make sure to have quality kneepads… You know why.
Oh, I do know why! You really made fun of them good by implying they do gay stuff.
Jewish.
Though for this specific topic “genocide of Jewish people” would be better than “Jewish genocide” as the latter is unclear if the genocide is being perpetuated by or against Jewish people (and also the larger Jewish population shouldn’t be held responsible for the actions of Israel). Neither would have alarm bells going off in the same way as using “Jew” as an adjective though. That’s a very specific white supremacist phrasing.
That’s good to hear. In the future, don’t use “Jew” as an adjective. It’s pretty much exclusively used by antisemites.
Man the phrasing for this comment is so suspicious. People who care about Jewish people do not use “Jew” as an adjective.
You do now.
Canada is sending drugs or something, but conservatives have never cared about illegal immigration by white people. Latinos however are “different” and don’t belong here. Currently that means non-American Latinos and the US, but it’ll extend to Latino Americans in the wrong place within the US. It’s never been about citizenship.
That’s literally been the last year and you felt fine the whole time.
I mean, we should also be paying. We had an integral role in the genocide.
Russia isn’t in any way a threat to expand their invasion. If they could simultaneously invade Poland they wouldn’t be struggling so hard to reclaim their own territory, let alone conquer Ukraine. China is the one powerful and expansive enough to worry about.
