The overuse of the word genocide will eventually dilute its meaning.

Nope. Because Japan is known as monoethnic country. So I'm correct.

No, you're not. Genocide - the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. If that had been the aim, the US would not have been trying to get the Japanese to surrender.

Do you have another name for to targeting civilians and wipe 2 cities by nuclear strike?

You might want to look up the term genocide.

Iuppiter iratus ergo nefas

You are the victim of the Western propaganda, "history is written by the winners".

You aren't interpreting what I say. You are creating what you think I said from your own mind with no reliance on what I actually said. You know little of me so your thoughts on my victim status are irrelevant.

2, Arguing with someone with different views on these matters never causes another to change their mind and is a bonafide waste of time and bandwidth.

Isn't that the very thing a forum is for? It would be a very boring place if everyone agreed or never posted anything someone might disagree with.

3. We all—hopefully—have more productive things to do (I.e., do another off, get another massage, write a TR or venue report, plan another trip, call a sick friend).

I'm currently working and getting double time for Sunday. My job is such that I have busy periods and then have to wait for results. The forum is something I read in down time.

Oh, fuck off with your ridiculous interpretations. Show me anywhere where I've called Truman a hero. Putin was a lunatic dictator long before he threatened the use of nukes. His threat of nukes just makes him an extremely dangerous lunatic dictator.

[This is scary]

You're right. The only LEADERS threatening the use of nukes at this point are the lunatic dictator in Russia and his minion in Belarus. What Left or Right wing nut job ministers say is pretty irrelevant. 

[This is scary]

No, no one should consider using nukes until the alternative is more horrific than a nuclear war. The only people threatening the use of nukes at this point are the lunatic dictator in Russia and his minion in Belarus.

When either war gets to the death toll of WW2 in the Pacific come back to me. Until then your false equivalences are pathetic.

So you said US made two nuclear strikes and wiped 2 Japanese cities for to stop Russians? 

No, there were multiple reasons as there are for most things:

- Japan's refusal to surrender.

- Large scale fire bombings had failed to induce surrender

- The number of deaths likely to US and Japanese troops having to continue the pacific war

- Stalin had declared war on Japan as agreed at Yalta and US wanted a show of power to stop Russia taking parts of Japan.

The comments from some here are indeed scary, as the thread's title indicate.  They are either very deep down the rabbit hole or I want some of what they're smoking!

Whatever it is, they keep smoking it.

Stalin died a long time ago. And the American criminals are still alive. They have already exceeded the number of civilian killings

Ahh, Stalin was long ago but the massacre of indigenous American Indians wasn't?

Please provide links of the arrest warrants issued for these people. While we're on the subject, Putin doesn't travel outside Russia so much these days.

You will have to refresh my memory. When were war crime charges laid against these people?

You probably live in a country that is completely subordinated to American propaganda. 
Currently, the United States has committed the most mass killings of civilians. This is available in open sources of information.
But, thanks to the US propaganda, you deny it

You mean citizens of the US have committed the most mass killings of civilian, not the US which would suggest it's government did the killings. I wonder how many years of mass killings would need to occur to match the number of people killed during Stalin's purges?

How much your propaganda tells you! The most brutal murderers of children, women and the elderly live in the USA! This is reality, wake up

Your propaganda is much worse than mine. Why are you telling me to wake up to what goes on in the US? I'm not American, don't live there but do keep up with the politics there since it affects the world, much like Russia having a murderer/war criminal in charge affects the world. 

 

 

[This is scary]

You can and do say what you like. It doesn't make it true. There are far too many polonium poisonings, novichok poisonings, defenestrations, accidental hangings, jailing of political opponents on trumped up charges to say there are "no tricks".

Next time they will have choice between a war-mongering Biden presidency for another four years or giving the overtly neo-fascist Trump a second chance to steer the country toward becoming an autocratic enclave for the billionaire class and ultra nationalist minorities.

And the Russians have a choice between murdering war criminal Putin and....... um........ murdering war criminal Putin.

You organize a circus every 4 years! No matter who you elect, nothing will change. The USA has already placed in prisons everyone who is against it, the number of political prisoners in the USA is the largest in the world

I guess if you defenestrate or feed polonium to opponents you avoid having to imprison them.

Have you seen the map? Where is Belarus located?

But I like the truly democratic government in Nicaragua. Nuclear protection from aggression of the USA empire is required

Your right, in the same manner the US should also provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons since the 1994 agreement where they gave them up has been broken. 

[This is scary]

It's a reference to the proverbial idiom "Pot calling the kettle black" which describes a situation in which someone comments on or accuses someone of a fault which the accuser shares. In this case you saying the world needs protecting from murders, rapists and maniacs from the US when the same is true of Russia.

Indeed. Time for the west to supply weapons that can reach Russian power stations and other infrastructure since the US, UK and Russia are all ignoring the Budapest memorandum.

[This is scary]

Power stations are legitimate targets IF they are used to power military facilities.
