The president posted on his own social media, that a civilization will die tonight, and that he’s going to bomb Iran back to the stone age, where they belong. Then he carpet bombed heavily populated civilian centers. That’s the definition of genocide, bud. He’s attacked water treatment facilities, hotels, school, hospitals, etc. I think it’s pretty obvious that your hesitant to call it a genocide, when in reality, it’s fairly obvious.
I am hesitant to call it genocide only because there’s no intent to remove the population - it’s to gain power and access to commerce. It’s certainly war crimes and disgusting. I just think we need to stick to some meaning of genocide - not just blur it in with war crimes, murder, crimes against humanity, etc.
I reiterate: >The president posted on his own social media, that a civilization will die tonight, and that he’s going to bomb Iran back to the stone age, where they belong.
This is a clear establishment of intent. He has the ability to act on this intent, and then acted upon this intent.
I know the organs of international justice are slow, and also tilted in the West’s favor, but come on, man. Open your fuckin’ eyes.
Yes. But just saying something like that isn’t the same as doing it. And as I recall when the orange moron said that he backed down and did nothing that night. Maybe I’m just excusing Trump as he’s such a fucking moron and I don’t believe anything he says. He should be drawn and quartered for making such statements as the potus. It’s just that those statements don’t align with the actions by the U.S. so it doesn’t really seem like it is a genocide at this point. But I get your point.
Wikipedia, which I’m not a huge fan of these days, but I’m sure you respect, claims that there are 3,636 deaths in Iran due to strikes, including 1,701 civilians, 1,221 military personnel.. I dunno about you, but when a country says they’re going to do a genocide, and then they kill more civilians than soldiers, starting with a little girls school, I tend to assume that yes, they are in fact doing a genocide.
