      Lmao well you sure don’t use the actual definition of genocide

      [T]he ICJ ruled on Friday that it will not address whether Russia violated the 1948 Genocide Convention by using what Ukraine says were trumped-up genocide charges as a pretext for the war, even if the invasion may have violated international law broadly.

      Instead, the case will proceed to assess whether Ukraine committed genocide in the eastern parts of the country, as Russia claims – a matter where judges ruled that they have jurisdiction.

        Unless you also consider the Iraq war/ Afghanistan war to be genocides

        I mean… Lets be real here. They started the “war” on a false pretense and then killed a fuck ton of civilians.

          A million civilians AND the birth defect rate went through the roof after the war AND they destroyed every single piece of infrastructure they could find including water and power AND they used chemical weapons like white phosphorous which is the modern equivalent of napalm
