Armchair General's DonbAss Derailed Discussion Thread (Topics Include History, Traps, and the Ongoing Slavic Civil War plus much much more)

"China is technically not genociding Uyghurs" kind of argument.
Sure, the technical term is cultural genocide.
Are you incapable of remembering what we talked about just before? I'm giving an analogy between Sailor X what he wants to do to Italians, and Germans, and other former Axis powers and what Putin is doing in Ukraine. Newsflash Sailor X 100% advocated cultural genocide on Italians. He's just as bad as Putin.
 
How is that diffrent than what Putin wants? He isn't going to hunt down and kill every Ukrainian down to the child in the crib. He is just going to end the nation state of Ukraine.
And you should learn how to read english. I said the British did more genocide than the ITALIANS. Italy did bad things to Ethiopia yes. But the British and other colonial powers did similar things in Africa, so don't act self righteous you are just sucking up what ever education system taught you.
Show me where the allies used Mustard Gas to kill civilians in Africa. I can wait.

But he didn't? Splitting a state into separate ones is a completely different thing. Cultural genocide is when you occupy a state and force the locals to abandon their culture, language and customs in favor of different, foreign ones or else.

I did not advocate for cultural genocide. I advocated for them no longer being Nation States. Germany was not a Nation State until the late 19th Century just so you know.
 
You are being ridiculous. Germany was genocided after WW2? China was genocided after WW2? Korea was genocided?

The post-WWII misfortunes in those countries are due to the Soviets, not due to the Americans. The Americans significantly improved and developed the parts of those countries that they influenced, watched over, and guided: West Germany, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Stop derailing this is not about the atrocities of the allies in world war 2. First off the type of weapons don't matter, Colonial troops frequently did massacres on locals. Gas weapons are not that bad. Also here is a possible use.
Not Africa but it doesn't really matter.

So you know at the start of this conflict Putin did not plan to force the locals to abandon their culture, language, and customs? If Russia had gotten the land of Ukraine and it's population easily, the people would have probably been allowed to keep speaking Ukranian, as for customs how vague are you being there?

I did not advocate for cultural genocide. I advocated for them no longer being Nation States. Germany was not a Nation State until the late 19th Century just so you know.
So it's ok for Putin to eliminate Ukranian state as long as the new subjects are allowed to speak their language? Also it does not matter, America was not a nation until the 18th century. If some group was able to destroy the military and kill millions would it be ok for them to forcibly break up the nation and prevent the people from voting for the territories to merge?

One Wikipedia is not a valid source for anything. Two Ukraine did not attack Russia. Poland did not attack Germany. Ethiopia did not attack Italy. Ukraine, Poland and Ethiopia were all attacked by Dictators wanting to conquer people who's land they wanted. Is this crystal clear to you.

He absolutely did. Soviets had that policy even long before this whole mess. Of course he was willing to gratiously make the process slower and less heavy handed if they go quietly into the night, but one of the reasons for the war is that Ukraine was going "off the reservation" and beginning to undo centuries of hard oppressive russification efforts done by Russian Empire and then Soviet Union since Stalin.
Did you forget all the arguments about Ukrainian vs Russian language?

It would still be an unjustified invasion, and culture is more than just language. On the other hand, was Korea genocided because it got split between North and South over politics?
Also it does not matter, America was not a nation until the 18th century. If some group was able to destroy the military and kill millions would it be ok for them to forcibly break up the nation and prevent the people from voting for the territories to merge?
I think the former part is what makes it worse than the latter.

More sources than you. Also it does not matter. The fact is that the Allies were the winners and wrote the history books, that does not mean they were good people. Also who gives a shit about your "muh dictatorship, muh democracy" bullshit. Honestly you as an American have a fake democracy anyway, and if you don't I don't give a fuck about democracy if it gives just gay rights, and trannies raping kids. Fuck it and it's supporters, and those who fight for it. They don't provide anything of value. Just slaves of big bussiness.

Why do you keep bringing up Soviets like a broken record? I get you are Polish, but modern Russia is not the Soviet Union they do not subscribe to Marxist Leninism. They are Imperialist yes, and a comparison to the Russian Empire is apt however.

It would still be an unjustified invasion. On the other hand, was Korea genocided because it got split between North and South over politics?
You could make the argument, a united Korea under the south would be great. Seperating people of other nations is basic colonialism, small weak states are great for bigger powers to manipulate. Tell me if Germany forced Poland to be broken into a dozen states but did not annex any of them, just used pressure to get favorable trade deals, and use it's occupation troops to prevent anti German expression like Sailor wanted for Italy would you think Germany doing that is ok?

I think the former part is what makes it worse than the latter.
Killing people in a war is pretty basic. But after the war is over, reparations paid, etc. You should not keep imposing your will on other nations, that is Imperialism. That's what Russia would do to other nations, hell that's what China would do to other nations. If so called patriotic Americans are advocating that for the American empire, why the fuck should I support America?

There is continuity between Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and modern Russia.
Even Russia itself is not denying that. Mostly because if they did, they would have to give up their UNSC seat and some other perks. So i'll make them a deal, they do that and then i'll stop. It's not even purely legal continuity, a lot of the elites of Soviet Union have clearly transitioned into the elites of Russia, in turn creating personal continuity. With Mr. KGB colonel on top.
Long story short, they were assholes before Marxism-Leninism, they were assholes under Marxism-Leninism, and they continue to be assholes after Marxism-Leninism. At least something being consistent and reliable around here...

Then it still is an partial occupation. Non sovereign state, puppet state, whatever Russia has going on with Belarus now.
It wouldn't be ok, but it would be ridiculous to call it genocide. Not everything that isn't ok has to be called the g-word, you know?

Because the guy said patriotic American was arguing with was implying Russia should be left alone to do it wherever it wants. So if he doesn't mind Russia doing it, why, by his standard, shouldn't America do it too?

Sorry your formatting is a little fucked up. But I'd hardly say that modern UK, is the same as the UK of Queen Victoria, which is diffrent from the UK that was around in the American revolution which is diffrent from medieval england, etc. Even though there is continuity. Oh and yes Russians have historically been assholes, and are current assholes.

But then you can say what Russia did now was not a genocide. I mean Russia did genocide Ukraine in the past, the holdomor. But again I doubt that there would have been a genocide in the modern day if Russia was succesful in occupying Ukraine. People have used that word so much it was cheapened. If you aren't planning to actually kill off the people then it shouldn't be called a genocide.

If he was not serius and using it as a rhetorical trap thats ok. But that's not what he did. He said that Italy should be enslaved and it's people taken it's rights of self determination away because they don't want to support the US in a war with another power. He was treating it as a vassal and that he and the American empire is owed troops and resources in fealty, so much for willing alliance.

Holodomor was genocide-genocide. Besides that it had cultural genocide, which is what is happening again in parts of Ukraine which Russia holds.

You sir have issues all you are doing is spouting talking points bantered around in Youtube comment sections. Most of which is hyperbolic bunk. The facts are.......

The US had the Marshall plan and rebuilt Western Europe with that plan.

NATO was formed to check the Soviet Union who just like Modern Russia has always been an expansionist power

The West became more prosperous than the Russosphere because it actually gave a damn about trying to be fair to it's populations. Is the wes perfect? No but it is damn sure better than Russia.

Fact people in the 3rd world want to immigrate to Western Countries. Not the Russosphere. And there is a very big reason why

And whatever corruption there is in the west pales in comparison to what is going on in Russia. Name one US General or Admiral that is almost a Billionare. Russia has a few. And they did not get rich by honest means.

You can hate the US and the West all you want. But the fact remains The West is not invading Ukraine. Russia is.

If he was not serius and using it as a rhetorical trap thats ok. But that's not what he did. He said that Italy should be enslaved and it's people taken it's rights of self determination away because they don't want to support the US in a war with another power.

So the allies breaking Germany and Italy up into smaller states so they don't threaten Europe again after 2 World Wars is now cultural genocide. Eventhough I said nothing about destroying their culture. Like at all.

He said it right here. Carve it up, make it a protectorate ruled by England, America, and France. Don't allow the people any rights of self determination.

Y'all are lucky we let you remain a country after WW2. Maybe doing so was a mistake. Maybe the Allies should have carved Italy up and made it a protectorate of various Allied Nations. Because your tendency to sympathize with a Dictator is troublesome
 
He said it right here. Carve it up, make it a protectorate ruled by England, America, and France. Don't allow the people any rights of self determination.
Being a protectorate is not the same as being annex into a country. It is territory being kept from being attacked by Nations wanting revenge. And after WW2 a ton of countries wanted their pound of flesh in the Middle East, North Africa an parts of Eastern Europe.
 
Because you are denying those people their national self determination.

When a nation invades another nation with an explicit intention to conquer and subjugate them, they give up some of the right of self-determination when they lose said war and are conquered in turn.

It's the same as how when someone breaks into another person's house with the intention of beating them into submission, they get sentenced to time in prison when they're convicted of their crimes.

This is very basic stuff. Someone with a screen-name like yours should know it.
