  • You did not say what they should do.

    Doing nothing would have worked out much better for them.

    Also the implication that Russia is supposedly not winning when it has been advancing is rather silly.

    Thing being, Russia hasn’t been advancing.

    Haha. What you are saying is actually “I can’t prove that A killed B, but A definitely murdered B!”. Do you even know what a genocide is?

    Maybe re-read my post. That being said, genocide is a deliberate effort to destroy a national, racial, cultural or ethnic group entirely or in part. The crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese government against the Uyghurs constitute such an effort. The UN might disagree, because they are slaves to capital, and capital would like to keep trading with China.

    So far, the only source the proponents bring.

    It’s not.

    Malpractice would be if Amnesty International had kept promoting the testimony after evidence had failed to come to light. You’d have to show that they acted maliciously and/or recklessly, which they didn’t.

    Also, your argument for why Amnesty shouldn’t be trusted is because they fell for a fabricated testimony 35 years ago. If that’s all you have, then it’s actually a glowing endorsement of them.


  • Decades of NATO higher-ups saying that expanding towards Russia will cause war with Russia,

    Nations can join whichever alliance they wish, assuming said alliance lets them. What you’re describing here is a condemnation of Russian imperialism, not pushing for war.

    refusing Russia’s membership in NATO

    Russia never applied for NATO membership, there was nothing to refuse.

    and admitting that the war was preventable by Ukraine not pushing to join NATO

    By the same logic, world war 2 could have been prevented by just giving the Nazis whatever they want.

    Sure, that does make NATO more cautious, but NATO has still been targeting civilians, has been carrying out strikes at nuclear power plants, has been committing war crimes against Russia, all without Russia using nukes

    That’s not true. Russia has been doing those things to Ukraine constantly throughout the Ukraine war, though.

    Considering that Russia has been beating NATO in this conflict, it seems that the only myths that got broken were of NATO’s capabilities against near-peers.

    NATO isn’t a belligerent in this war. Your statement is nonsense.


  • What should a state do when the most prolific invader in the world (i.e. NATO) starts amassing troops and weapons on its borders (or otherwise in position to attack, like with Iran), especially after a coup against a neighbouring state?

    Maybe not invade a neighboring country yourself, and then keep investing material and manpower after the invasion has stalled for no discernible gain.

    The one that hasn’t been substantiated, one which the NATO-dominated UN concluded to there being no evidence for, one which your masters have long since stopped pretending to believe to have happened?

    What the UN conclude was that while there are reeducation camps and systemic discrimination, there is not sufficient evidence to say its a genocide. Which is like “We can prove that A killed B, but we can’t prove that it’s murder”.

    And no, Adrian Zenz’ word is not proof.

    Funnily enough, it’s only ever the deniers who bring up this guy.

    Oh, hey, it’s the same people that sold you on Nayirah’s testimony. Do you believe that one, as well, since Amnesty said it was true?

    That’s a quite deliberate misconstruction of the facts. Amnesty International initially promoted the story, then they issued a retraction once they found that it lacked supporting evidence. There’s no evidence of malpractice on their part.



  • Berlin wall, for one. Yeah, it was done by the German Democratic Republic, not the USSR, but DDR was a puppet of the USSR, so the USSR is culpable here, just as the USA today is culpable for what Israel is doing.

    Supposedly build to keep fascists out, but if that were true, they’d have build it the other way around. If you shoot at a fascist before they attack the rampart, you start an offensive war with West Germany, which you don’t want. Meaning, a theoretical attacker on the West German side of the wall could roll up with heavy construction equipment and just knock the strongest part of the defense down, before shooting back is allowed. In fact, since the wall is opaque, the guards wouldn’t even know what is happening until the wall is breached. Which is probably why the West Germans got to decorate their side of the wall. Of course, no West German would have a reason to breach the wall, because they were just allowed to cross over at the official check points.
