    Nope, anti oppression, but I would say in favor of China selling weapons to Russia, that’s just capitalism baby!

    No more recent massacres you could point to? Gotta go back 40 years? Very telling.

          Then by your logic, neither has Israel since both were charged with identical war crimes and crimes against humanity by the ICC. Weird double-standard and cognitive dissonance you’ve got!

            They’ve been accused of committing some of the same crimes, but as far as I know the ICC, ICJ or UN haven’t brought forth charges of committing genocide. Would be news to me!

              Same for Israel, so I guess no genocide!

              By your logic, even accusations and charges don’t count until conviction, right?

              You’re so forked lol. Perpetual check, and it’s amusing me.

                No, the UN, ICC and ICJ have all accused Israel of committing genocide, but not Russia, which they accuse of committing genocidal acts.

                Listen, I’m not here to play word games and do gotcha bullshit. Clearly we don’t agree on this, so let’s save us both some time and end this here?

                  You are playing word games, quite obviously actually lol. They are evaluating charges of genocide for Russia, just as they are evaluating charges for Israel, too.

                  Russia wants to erase Ukraine and its culture off the map, just as Israel does with Gaza – Acknowledge this obvious fact and direct parallel.

                  It’s not that we don’t agree, you’re just completely wrong. Do you need to see images of the dead civilians from Russia’s strikes on Kyiv just last night?

                    I genuinely don’t believe their goal is to exterminate every last Ukrainian, which is a major part of what a genocide entails. That’s really the major difference in my mind, and international law, for that matter. Israel has repeatedly had major government figures routinely say they want to eliminate every single Palestinian.

                    Nah, I’ve seen enough death. Did you see all of those dead Russian kids Ukraine made the other day?
