  • That feels like a really pedantic difference.

    Example:

    I kill 100% of a population AND my intent was to do that = genocide

    I kill 100% of a population BUT my intent was only to kill a lot of people = not genocide???

    If that’s really what you’re saying is the discrepancy then I have to disagree with this recognition being purely political. This seems like a common sense thing. The holodomor happened, it was mass purposeful death. We can argue if it was targeted against a people or a location, but the effect was clearly bound to some group or region and it was effective within those boundaries to the extent that it could be considered a genocide.

    Without doing any reading on the matter for this topic as well, that’s what I’d say.




  • The main comments seem to think Milley WAS commenting on Biden’s health after saying he wouldn’t and I disagree.

    He said Biden read the prep material, was aware of the current issues, and took national security matters very seriously. You could extrapolate that to mean he’s mentally well but I don’t think that’s a necessary conclusion and it’s definitely not a direct comment on the president’s health.

    No one likes how old the president is, but Milley wasn’t going against his own words here in the excerpt that I read.
