To recapitulate the views of this bunch of hypocrites: if Russia cleanses and genocides the Ukrainians to preserve its sphere of influence, we should ...

So apparently countries accepting Tutsis refugees were complicit in Hutu's genocide of the Tutsis.

And let's not forget that also in this case certain Westerners can blame the Palestinian victims for ALL/MOST/MAIN of it as much as certain Westerners...

Oh and let's not forget about this screaming monkey accusing others of being Palestinian genocide apologetic in the other thread, that he's a Ukrainia...

If we agree that exactly ALL politicians are compelled to conceal/misreport/state facts to the extent it is instrumental to their political agenda, th...

What is obvious is that if Russia is going to risk (nuclear?) WW3 over Ukraine, Russia is an existential threat to the EU and NATO. You've spent 582 p...

Some more deliberate propaganda campaign designed to abandon the Ukrainian people, to have them accept surrender and willingly throw themselves at Ukr...

Similar in some ways different in others. I'm highlighting the latter: the core issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not like the hegemonic co...

Even if you wanna put it in these terms, still, it’s selling way more than marketing the idea that “It really isn't so different” from a secession cas...
January 30, 2025 at 14:23
That's a good point. However secession is not about land but about central-government. Different geographic parts of a land under the same sovereign c...

Apart from the fact that the Nazis were ideologically pretty vocal about their genocidal intent, I can get why sending millions of Jews from Germany t...
January 29, 2025 at 10:21
Sure I can get that, it's compelling what you say. But I would also highlight two points: 1) the Palestinian resistance needs political and financial ...

There are POLITICAL reasons to call the overall Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza “a genocide” as much as there are POLITICAL reasons to call overall Isra...

As I wrote a while back, the problem the West must face is that if rising anti-Western regimes do not evolve into more Western-style liberal democraci...

In the domain of what one can conjecture, sure your predictions can be seen as roughly plausible as others (like a re-approaching of the US and Russia...
