Oh men, Russia used genocide even without war. Holodomor for example, as a way to kill millions of ethnic groups, or just the simple destruction of cultural landmarks like in Finland where they even razed cemeteries.
> Genocide is a strong word... how many dead people count as a genocide?
You need to educate yourself about genocide[0], it's not about number of people, or killing, it's about the actions with the intent to bring suffering to a group a people in an attempt to make them disappear.
Putin is wanted by the ICC for kidnapping and filtering Ukrainian children, one of the most disgusting crimes against humanity and constitutes one of the crimes genocide.
Despite the fact that the US has been involved in wars, none of them had the sickening intent of making a group of people disappear just because they exist, and erase their culture. If you want to look at that intent you need to observe Nazi Germany, Holodomor, Chechen war, that's what genocide looks like.

- ajsnigrutin 3y agoHolomodor was done by a different country, many many years ago... this is like mentioning the genocide of native americans in usa. ICC is a political entity, and noone actually cares about it. It has no real power except for small countries that are bullied by nato and it's allies. They can't even prosecute ordinary american soldiers, what are they going to do against putin? - https://www.france24.com/en/20180910-usa-trump-threatens-arrest-icc-judges-american-soldiers-afghan-war-crimes https://www.france24.com/en/20180910-usa-trump-threatens-arr... > sickening intent of making a group of people disappear just because they exist, and erase their culture Like forbidding their language, burning their books, outlawing their religion and destroying their monuments?

- libertine 3y agoWait, so when is convinient for Russia they are the rightful heirs of USSR, but when it's about the bad things, it's a different country? That's not how that works, you can't cherry-pick what you get. And the Chechnya genocide was also a different country? > ICC is a political entity, and noone actually cares about it. Is that the new Russian narrative? Then why can't Putin even go to South Africa or Brazil without being arrested? These are BRICS countries by the way!
