1. I didn't use the word genocide and don't believe that's what we're seeing at present
2. The rhetoric of Putin (Ukraine should not exist, Ukrainians don't exist, they are Russians) definitely makes me think he is capable of genocide in Ukraine.
- strogonoff 5y agoI think OP objected to the use of the word “genocide”. Regarding Russian government’s attitude, to my ears the rhetoric does not seem to be compatible with genocide (rather the opposite—they can’t do this to their own people, which they claim Ukrainians are), but it is compatible with extensive political persecution of those Ukrainians who don’t agree with this position, which is also pretty bad.
