*** Official Putin Started Shootin' Thread ***

Genocide is basically the worst of the war crimes. It's worse than ethnic cleansing because the intention here is simply to drive a population from a territory, usually by means of brute force but it's a step down from genocide where you're not even giving them a genuine chance to leave. Genocide, that's where you round up Jews, gays and anyone else you don't like, and gas them. That's not trying to drive a population away from a territory, that's a clear policy to exterminate people based purely on their identity.

Ethnic cleansing is something many people might be turning a blind eye to, if and when Ukraine retake Crimea and evict the Russian population. You might want to be careful what moral standards you set right now, because the side you support might well have to cross those lines too if they are to achieve their military objectives.

War is shit.

What's the word for taking children from a combat zone and back into your own country. Ethnic borrowing?

Because that's what Russia has been doing.

So you think if Ukraine does ethnic cleansing I'd be ok with it because it's Ukraine doing it? Huh?


Really it's kind of pointless arguing over semantics of how big a cunt Putin is. Ok, let's say he isn't as bad as Hitler or Stalin because he either doesn't have the power or he doesn't want to. Great, let's give him a pass then.
