      It’s perfectly coherent. We’re able to stop him from committing this particular genocide, but we’re not able to remove him from power at a price anyone regards as acceptable.

      Genocide is not defined in terms of numbers of deaths. It’s defined in terms of the intent to destroy cultural and national identity. And Putin has been very clear that Ukraine is not a real country and that Ukrainian ID must be purged by force.

      Yeah, well, it sortof is. And yes, he's said that, but his efforts have been far more localized. If US hadn't overthrown the govt in 2014, for the 2nd time in 10 years, Ukraine would still own Crimea and the war in the east never would have happened.

      The testimonies of raped women who were told by their Russian rapists that the goal was to brutalize them so badly they could never bear another Ukrainian child speak volumes.

      This whataboutism is getting tedious. The question is whether Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. And it clearly is.

      Pointing out hypocrisy is perfectly legitimate. And no, it is not at all "clear" that that is what is happening in Ukraine. Again, DIA talking to Arkin:https://twitter.com/DecampDave/status/1514075213784301568 …

      Alleged hypocrisy is irrelevant to the question at hand, which is: Is Russia committing genocide in Ukraine, and if so what can be done about it?

      This anonymous DIA official is simply wrong about the definition of genocide. He’s making a category mistake so profound we can safely disregard his opinion.

      There is in fact strong disagreement about definition of genocide among genocide experts. My question is: if you applaud Biden for using expansive definition, how can you eschew demands of UN Convention on Genocide (which require more direct intervention & regime change).

          And that DIA official doesn’t seem to be working from any well-accepted definition. He seems to be operating on the common misconception that genocide means total extermination. And he’s ignoring the distinction between attempted and completed.

          Where does the UN Convention on Genocide say that regime change is the required response to genocide?

          If you say leader who causes genocide should be punished, then you are saying they need to be removed from power (since obviously if Putin remains in power he won't be punished).
