Scott Straus has counted 21 different definitions of genocide.

Does that include "genocide is when jobs program"?

It's a meme (Moreover, the emote is named "international community" not "imperial core").

Hexbear emotes are not rigorous theoretical statements. E.g.: xi-plz

End war there and get support back to Ukraine.

Just guessing

“In a way [my undertaking] is an entirely original science. In fact, I have not come across a discussion along these lines anywhere. I do not know if this is because people have been unaware of it...[but] perhaps [people] have written exhaustively on this topic, and their work did not reach us... The knowledge that has not come down to us is, after all, larger than the knowledge that has. Where are the sciences of the Persians...the Chaldaeans, the Syrians, the Babylonians...the Copts and their predecessors? The sciences of only one people, the Greeks, have come down to us...as for the sciences of others, nothing remains.”

Ibn Khaldun, 1332-1406 (as translated by Rosenthal)

How's this dumb? They're correct. The US is illegally occupying Hawaii and persecutes the indigenous to that end.

I get the feeling you just like licking imperialists' boots.

Then why do you think they're gathering intel? Surely the situation is very different in Ukraine. A weapon system is context dependent, it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

For sure. Thinking of this war as a giant test ground for defense industry ghouls to experiment on is horrifying

Pretty sure they have Baryraktar drones, purchased from Turkey, among other military drones.

MolotovHalfEmpty: presents empirical evidence.

You: fake news

You should engage someone you reply to, someone who takes the time to write a long thoughtful post, in good faith.

You think China and North Korea don't look around at adjacent territories licking their lips

North Korea only borders SK and China. It has never invaded another country. China hasn't invaded another country since 1979 and since then Vietnam and China have peacefully resolved their land border dispute.

Before you respond like a tankie that America is an imperialist shithole, America is not the one (this time) committing war crimes, RUSSIA is.

America is committing war crimes right now. The imposition of collective punishment is a war crime. America's comprehensive sanctions which it has applied to several countries constitute collective punishment and are hence a war crime.

Condemning the Russian invasion shouldn't mean white washing the world's largest perpetrator of state terrorism.
