TBH I don't think russia has face an existential threat that would incite the use of nukes. This is intentional by the other empire (thankfully). But I have no doubt that many nuclear regimes would use their nukes if meaningfully threatened. That's the whole point of having nukes.

I won't ever take a MAGA seriously ever again. The whole literal "just make things up and try to bludgeon me over the head with them" literally, no value or utilization of sincerity, the whole "NOT CARING," rather "NOT GIVING FUCKING RATS FUCKING ASS ABOUT ANYTHING OR ANYONE" thing, nope.

I won't do it. Your fucking jokes of human beings, probably can't read above a 6th grade level, and probably rape your sister. Can't give a fuck about giving a fuck about taking you seriously, ever again about fucking ANYTHING.

That pants-shitting moron Trump, unfortunately, will do everything in his power to help Putin's genocide along.

what genocide? not defending putin here but we can't start calling every armed conflict a genocide. but maybe I'm missing some context

Russia has taken many thousands of children and are having them adopted and naturalized by Russian families. Preventing Ukrainian from being spoken at schools in occupied territories, targeting cultural sites of no military value etc.

It's not as 'flashy' or bloody of a genocide as some others, but it fits the description.

Wow that's disgusting. I'd call it ethnic cleansing

!Disclaimer: Don't quote me, I'm months behind on news/statistics.!<

Crimea, Donbas and the current conflict tally up around 1.2M casualties, on the low end. Estimates are really hard during any war, but most experts would agree they are always lower than the real amount. As for civilian deaths, it's in the 30-40k range. Even more are missing.

If we take what Putin says he wants to do at face value, it's at least an attempt of doing the modern definition of genocide. Like if we call Gaza a genocide, then clearly the parts of Ukraine that fell to Russia are experiencing something similar.

Personally I think the word genocide has been diluted and neither of those wars constitute a genocide, at least in the current stage. Many other kinds of criminal and evil though, sure.

Uhm Europe has taken Putin quite seriously on this. There's a reason we're only doing minor sanctions and weapons deliveries. But yeah Trump is bound not to improve things.
