Biden appeared to accuse Putin of committing a ‘genocide’ in Ukraine : NPR

April 12, 2022

“Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away,” he said.

Asked later what made him use the word “genocide,” Biden replied, "Yes, I called it genocide. It has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being — being able to be Ukrainian.

    Joe Biden is a genocidal terrorist. Don’t ever come with the “lesser evil” again.

      Yes trump is so much better for comunist dictators, let’s hope he is allowed to become America’s dictator it would make it so much easier to take Taiwan. If not, the Chinese may be forced to fake parts of ruzzia instead…

        Shut the fuck up you insufferable piece of shit. A genocide is happening right now and your response is to say smuglord “What about Trump?”

        I want you to really hear what I’m going to say to you now. The world would be better off if you were dead. I’m completely serious about this. Not a single person would miss you. You are a canker sore on the face of the world.

        Complete drivel devoid of any semblance of meaning. And the way you’ve responded to everything is absurd. If your point was to troll “tankies,” it’s pretty fucked up to do this on a post pointing out a genocide perpetrated by the U.S. and Biden. This was implicit, but even when made explicit you sunk back into your self-satisfactory smugness. You are a sad worthless person who serves zero purpose.

            Nothing absurd about pointing out the US administration’s active participation in a genocide. “The other option is just as bad because (inexplicably) China might steal the place recognized by the US and UN as part of China.” Yeah KYS

              Fck hamas & IDF… This ain’t no joke and there is a bit of nuance. But I congratulate you for standing up for the conclusions you have drawn.

              I and many others are still very confused about the whole situation. Maybe try putting more context, sources and explanations to Bring your enlightenment to the plebs on lemmIE

          Who thought you to take things to a personal level, I mean who told you someone on the interwebs would actually care what a 14yo neckbeard thinks are profound insults?

          Dude I know I’m worthless. I meditate so much to reach purposelessness. Thanks for the recon.

        Kill yourself, like your idol Hitler did. There is an active genocide going on, and you are defending a person who is arming the country doing it, providing spy drones and satellites to the genocidal military, and sends warships to defend the genocidal zionist entity if someone does decide to intervene to stop it.

    On the other hand, already more dead Palestinian civilian in Gaza than in Ukraine and 6 TIMES more dead Palestinian children than in Ukraine, all happened in less than 1 month versus 20 months in Ukraine, in a country with a population 20 times smaller than Ukraine’s, is clearly not a genocide.

    so to be clear Biden has decided that oil and gas prices should have nothing to do with cutting the supply of oil and gas via sanctions because he doesn’t want them to
