    Perhaps you forgot Mr. Genocides (plural) in Beijing. It goes to show that we should be careful with hyperboles. This isn‘t a contest after all.

      Title is for the “most serious war criminal of our time”. There’s no hyperbole here. It literally is a genocide measuring contest.

        But that‘s the problem. Just because that lunatic of a leader frames it like one doesn‘t mean we have to participate in it.

          Or…you can rightfully point out that he should apply the same standard to Netanyahu, since the death toll in Gaza is several times higher than it is in Ukraine. After all, by his own words, there should be “zero tolerance” when dealing with war criminals.

          If that is how he chooses to frame it…then make sure the frame encompasses all the available data.

      There’s only one genocide going on right now. And it’s in Palestine. There’s no genocide in Xinjiang. I was there last year. There’s 24.000 mosques in Xinjiang, Muslims all over and none will tell you they are being mass murdered. Propaganda from the people who are actually commuting genocide…

        That’s just not true. Russia is (or at least was, I’ll admit to not keeping up as much with Ukraine) doing genocide as well. Entire towns have been slaughtered and children were taken away to be reeducated, that’s genocide too.
