But you would support Russian and Chinese genocide of Ukrainians and Uyghurs, respectively.

Russia is doing war, not genocide. Ukraine was doing genocide in Donbass before Russia invaded. (And in the vein of "Jesus Fucking Christ I can't believe it's actually necessary to say this, but ShitLibs are so utterly illiterate as to make it necessary": no, I don't believe that's the actual reason Russia invaded. Stopping that genocide was more of a happy accident.)

The only source for "Chinese Genocide of Uyghurs" is one right wing theocrat in Austria with a self-professed "mission from God to fight against Communism". He does have CIA contacts, but he doesn't read or speak a lick of Mandarin. Oh, and a few actual terrorists that the US found convenient to help destabilize China.

You can look up for yourself the video of Col Lawrence Wilkerson (US intelligence) addressing the Ron Paul Institute and laying out the entire playbook a few years before the accusations started.

Looks like tankies and bots are working overtime.

Lmao, do you actually think that "Uyghur genocide" means that China is carpet bombing Xinjiang 🤣

"Genocide" in China's case means cultural genocide. It stands in for forced assimilation. China isn't bombing every single school and hospital in Xinjiang and massacring hundreds of thousands of Uyghur people dumbass. And I don't support the treatment of Uyghurs in China, nor do I support Ukraine's invasion.

And this comment was really eye-opening. You American libs have made the word 'genocide' so fucking meaningless that you just throw it around for every single thing, including regular invasions. You didn't watch the video I sent you of an actual genocide, did you?

The entirety of the Muslim world agrees that what China is doing is absolutely not genocide. Cultural or otherwise.
