    That’s not what was said. What was said was that there is not evidence of a genocide happening now, and the response was that they COULD commit a genocide if Ukraine surrendered.

      No, no, you’re definitely in the wrong here. Let’s go through the play-by-play;

      But there is no evidence for your premise. Russia was an antagonist interfering in other countries before the Ukraine regime change, but they didn’t engage in conquest and genocide.

      So this here is a post, from AlteredEgo. In it, they said that Russia doing things in the past that weren’t conquest and genocide meant that somehow genocide cannot be happening now.

        Nope. You’re skipping over the important bits.

        Famko said: “Russia is a nazi state, hellbent on promoting Russian ethnic supremacy.”

        and AlteredEgo said: “Russia was an antagonist interfering in other countries before the Ukraine regime change, but they didn’t engage in conquest and genocide. Nor do I know of state sanctioned discrimination between the different ethnicity living in Russia.”

        So AlteredEgo is providing the evidence against the claim that Russia is a nazi state hellbent on promoting Russian ethnic supremacy. If this were the case, it would seem that we would see evidence for it in their other conflicts and we do not.

        This is a perfectly reasonable argument to make.
