When you play fast and loose with words and such, expect others to do the same:

Exactly. Our govt doesn’t care about genocide we use it as an excuse when it’s convenient to intervene militarily to achieve a different agenda.
China is committing genocide on Muslims in their western provinces. We continue to trade with them.
Genocide occurs regularly in Africa and we don’t care. The only time we ever care is if it’s done in a European nation

Not a lie just was overblown imo. It really is nitpicking but I don’t think it fits genocide definition since they allowed women and children to be evacuated. It’s more of a war crime and executions but regardless still was an atrocity.

Because there's nothing there worth fighting for. Seriously. Not that that is my personal view.
China is trying to change that, though. We'll see how that goes.

There's not a person that can complain about Russian intrusion into Ukraine if they don't have the same feelings toward the Chinese.
China effectively pays off our media.

Well, that's interesting:
@phildstewart
That news seems to change every day, and that includes "official" announcements. Some days ol' baw says they are on their way. Others he says it isn't their fight.

It was a war crime, but genocide is being fairly loose with the term.
The UN Genocide Convention's definition is so broad that the term can literally be applied to any targeted killing of a national, religious, racial or ethnic group, so long as you have the intent to destroy that group, either in whole or in part. Invoking the term when it came to intervening in Bosnia and Kosovo was purely a public relations matter. The American public are more likely to support a war if they're told it's to stop a genocide, which colloquially implies the murder of hundreds of hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

To be fair, even their people said they were about to invade. The "official" message changes every day, it seems.
