Whether or not they're 'amenable' has nothing to do with it. If they're being forced out, it's a cleansing. |
Acknowledging that the number of casualties and other info that isn't consistent with pervasive ethnic cleansing does not equate to arguing that "all war crimes are ok". If you can't tell the difference it's on you |
When Ukrainian army tells the citizens they need to evacuate the building to get out of harm's way is this also "cleansing"? A lot of Ukrainians, especially those with money and connections overseas had left the country in the early days before Russian forces invaded their cities. Did they also get cleansed or did they just try to escape quickly escalating situation and get the hell out before it's too late? |
Yep. Pp clearly hasn’t read up on Russian genetics Russia is way way more diverse than Ukraine |
Why is the Ukrainian army telling them to get out? Oh yeah, because Russia. |
Russia is the invader, are you saying I am debating this? Yeah, captain obvious, if Russia didn't invade then so many Ukrainians wouldn't have had to flee. It still doesn't make it ethnic cleansing massacre of all Ukrainians. |
Yeah, you're framing it so that the Ukranian army is making them flee. |
Ethnic cleansing is not the same as genocide. It does not require massacres for instance. Also pervasive is another interesting modifier you've added. It is pretty clear that an ethnic cleansing campaign has been undertaken by Russia in the East. That they haven't been deporting people in the West is as much a function of their military ineptitude as anything else. |
The WAR is making them flee, dumbass. Do you think they'd give a shit if it were Ukraine invading Russia first and Russia coming into Ukraine to bomb their cities in retaliation? Would this matter to you if your country were the invader, would you not flee for your life? The fighting is making them flee whether it is righteous or not, citizens die, homes are destroyed. That's why negotiations is even more important than ever, the sooner some agreements could be reached to stop the fire, the better it is for the people of Ukraine. |
This is stupid. It IS for safety. Or maybe you still believe the idiotic Russian lies that they are not targeting civilians. If you'd seen the horrific photos from Ukrainian cities like Bucha and Mariupol showing the corpses of dozens of dead civilians just lying in the streets, you'd be singing a different tune. The Russian monsters even shot and killed family dogs and livestock for no good reason whatsoever. |
The WAR that Russia started, which Umraine did not provoke. You're both-sidesing it. The people of Ulraine don't want to live under Russian occupation. |
Russian also mined the dead bodies, so the people who recovered them also got blown up. |
Everywhere is ethnic Ukrainian? Not at all. Most of eastern Ukraine is ethnic Russian. That's a legacy that goes back to Stalin, who moved many Russians into Ukraine. Except since 2014 and the betrayal by Yanukovich, the Russians in Ukraine now hate the Russian Federation and Putin's regime. That still doesn't make them any less ethnic Russian. |
Ukraine's Prosecutor General has already documented over 2,300 Russian war crimes and in many cases they know the specific military units and perpetrators, and have already been submitting filings to the international criminal court. The Russians are behaving like the worst kinds of brutal animals and must pay. |
Russian expats should be paying close attention and talking to their famiies back home. It was echoed over and over by people pushing back at anger against Russia, "What should Russians do? Their families are at risk!"
Yeah well so were the Ukrainians' families. Anyone who touted that line needs to watch the documentary Winter On Fire and learn something. The Ukrainians were threatened and brutalized by Yanukovich's Berkut stormtroopers, but persisted and fought until they won. Russia does not have enough stormtroopers to fight a determined people. Putin and Russian authoritarianism can and should be taken down. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4908644/ https://www.netflix.com/watch/80031666 |
