That seems logistically very difficult for not much material benefit to anyone's life, for what seems like essentially PR. Are there other countries waiting to accept Ukrainian war orphans? And would their cultural identity be preserved better in, say, Poland compared to Russia? It's also worth noting that a lot (not all by any means) of people in the occupied territories already have Russian cultural ties. The first priority for war orphans shouldn't be preserving cultural identity, but alleviating the humanitarian crisis.

I'd also like to point out that there are many things that fulfill one or more criteria of the definition you cited that are not considered genocide. For example:

Killing members of [a national, ethnic, racial, or religious] group

Every war involves killing people who mostly consist of a particular national group, yet not every war is a genocide.

That makes sense. Opinion pieces are just less funny Onion articles.

Did you know he also lived in Iowa for a while?

He's running :xi-vote:

Removed Post China is bad

reason: rule 1

Rule 1: Please only post links to actual news sources, no tabloid sites, etc

China’s economic problems show things are seriously amiss, theguardian.com

Lmao did the lemmy.ml mods just call The Guardian a tabloid?

What should happen to children in a warzone, when their parents are either dead or cannot be located? Would leaving children in a warzone constitute inflicting conditions of life on them that would be likely to bring about their physical destruction? If so, does every war constitute genocide?

But likely just 50 cent army.

Sorry, but I'm actually not allowed to get paid for my China posts because of a noncompete clause I signed from when George Soros hired me as a crisis actor. I'm not allowed to be a paid actor in any other conspiracy theories right now, so I'm just defending China pro-bono to keep my posting skills sharp so I can try to get on as a wumao once my contract is up.

To Americans, war is no different from a movie or video game.

"Hey... could you take the trash out?" leans in and whispers in her ear "Don't forget... rent is due on the first."

Either way, they tend to make themselves scarce when that link is dropped on them.

This is either a bit or a masochist lol, just straight up inviting the dogpile.

The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.

Thank God I live in America where I'll never have to worry about the government doing that.

It's only outdoor cats that are the problem. Indoor cats have much lower emmisions, do not require any infrastructure, and are great for kids to ride around on.

It's the Cha-Cha offensive

Hey now, leave chapo.chat out of this

Why aren't you at the front then, coward? You believe in the cause, yet you're sitting here posting while people are being forced to fight and die on your behalf.

The residents of Dotworld gather round their hearths to tell stories in hushed tones of the lands they once knew well. Rumors spread like wildfire as they hang onto every word of the beleaguered travelers, who speak of roving bands of feral hogs reclaiming lands once civilized, their numbers growing with each retelling. They recall, as a distant memory, a time when they looked down upon the city of Beehaw for cutting itself off from the world. Now, as they eye each other with suspicion and jump at every shadow, fearing that the agents of the hoard have infiltrated their walls and are merely waiting for the opportune time to open the gates, they briefly contemplate fleeing to their stronghold and begging for entry - but the prospect of fleeing across open land is too frightening to even consider.

But of course
