how many countries did China invade and/or bomb in the last 30 years?
how many millions of civilians are dead or displaced directly or indirectly because of China's actions?
- rootusrootus 4y agoHow many genocides has the US government undertaken?
- alaricus 4y agoChina did not spend 20 years murdering people in the Middle East, resulting in the death and displacement of millions.
- rootusrootus 4y agoYes, war is bad. But if you're really trying to equate it with genocide, I don't know what to say.
- alaricus 4y agoHow many people did American wars in the Middle East kill?
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agoconsidering that Russia's actions in Ukraine are now the threshold for a genocide, the US and its allies have committed four genocides just in the last 20 years - in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Libya and in Syria
- sofixa 4y agoNo, the threshold for genocide is actions like erasing whole cities off the map with zero regard for civilian life, and mass kidnapping of children.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoIt's a pretty big stretch to tag Russia as an ally of the US in their invasion of Ukraine.
- HKH2 4y agoIt is. Yet I can't see how your comment is relevant.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoAh, I see. I misread throwaway's comment.
- jessaustin 4y agoIn addition to the more recent observations of sibling comments: The actions on the western frontier were explicitly intended and contemporaneously described as genocide. After we ran out of Native Americans to kill, we hopped the Pacific to Philippines where more than 10% of the population perished in five years. CIA managed the Indonesian massacres of well over a million innocent people. The answer must be at least... three genocides? Historians might discover more! For instance, are we sure there are no American fingerprints on Cambodia? I think rather we feel lucky not to have found any undeniable links yet...
- rootusrootus 4y agoI save my outrage for governments and politicians that are actually in power today. Whether China, the US, Russia, whoever. Sins of the parents and all that.
- jessaustin 4y agoI have the distinct feeling that your "outrage" is even a fair bit more selective than that... Anyway, don't look my direction for "outrage". Only chumps get upset about wet rain-clouds or imperialistic capitalism. I sincerely attempted to answer your question. It wasn't obvious that you meant "how many in the last two weeks?"
- alaricus 4y agoSo, when do we expect to see that outrage for the people that invaded and destabilized Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Syria and continue to kill countless people with drone murders?
- hunglee2 4y agoare you serious? It is irrefutable that the US is built on the genocide of an entire continent of people who lived here before settler colonialism. Hundreds of cultures, millions of people, hundreds of millions who would've been born but now never will be. These are basic facts
