Putin is not currently aiding in a genocide. Biden is. Biden is therefore worse than Putin. This is not remotely debatable. Say what you will of Russias war, it isn't a genocide, and therefore isn't as bad as US support of Israel.

"there is no Ukrainian nation, they are a subgroup of the russian people" combined with forced adoption of Ukrainian children definitely isn't genocidal at all /s

I don't disagree that Biden's unconditional support of Israel is appalling, and will go down in history as the greatest failure of his presidency.

But Russia's war is (a) straight up genocidal as well and (b) being directly conducted by Russia on Putin's behalf itself

Putin isn't aiding a genocide, he's committing it

Saying that Ukrainians are russian is not remotely the same as what israel is doing. War is not the same as genocide. Putin intends to treat Crimeans the same as Russians. Israel is openly stating that Gazans are animals. Not sure what you mean about forced adoption, they obviously are not taking people's kids away from them. Calling the war in Ukraine a genocide is simply removing the meaning from the word.
