The genocide is literally being streamed live, and people in the west continue to look the other way while western regimes keep fuelling it.

    Agree on being skeptical, not because it’s not plausible, but because we should be skeptical of the firehouse of misinformation going on right now. There’s no journalistic source attached to this, as far as I can see.

    But strong disagree on the whataboutism of “name a military that hasn’t done x”, as a way to justify horrible behavior. That’s just depraved.

            To say “they’re all trash” is to minimize the horrible behavior as commonplace, and the party committing it as not especially worthy of scorn. For example: “Germany shouldn’t have committed genocide, but what country hasn’t committed genocide?” This is a statement that minimizes the seriousness of genocide. It is a shitty thing to say.
