No, I would say its more like 19th century imperialism than a genocide. Does not make the invasion any less bad though as we don't want to return the world to how things were in the 19th century
I think this is the key here. If this is a genocide then every war of conquest can be considered a genocide, which cheapens the term to a dangerous extent when it should be reserved for a certain class of exceedingly gruesome actions. I voted no because I don't think Russia's view of this conflict is consistent with the essentially 20th century worldview that one must adopt to see it as a genocide in the proper sense.
Not yet. But I'd say Lumine said it best if given the option for something besides yes or no for genocide. The trajectory of what's going on and Putin's stated reason to Mr. Carlson still tip it to genocide in my eyes on a binary.
