Why Is the World "Shocked" at the Attrocities in Bucha, Ukraine? The Russians Are Practicing What the Germans Did in Poland Starting in 1939.

And what they themselves did at Katyn, Poland in 1940.

The brutal murders of Ukrainian intelligentsia and random citizens in the hope to shatter Ukrainian moral and keep any resistance movement disorganized.

If you think what is going on in Bucha is horrible, imagine what is going on in Russian-occupied areas in eastern Ukraine.

I guess no one has the right to point fingers at others. USA has carried out systematic genocide on Native Indians, Hawaiians, Afghanistan, Iraq and also been indirectly involved in it in other countries like Bangladesh, Iran, Somalia etc 馃檪

If you [i]really[/i] want to talk about the number of Muslims killed, perhaps we should talk about what the residents on the sub-continent did to each other during the partition in 1947.

@beckyromero Oh! That was the doing of the Brits, you know how they're 馃檪

They believed in the divide and rule policy. They created communal tensions and bifurcated a country.

Don't blame the Brits for your country's religious bigotry.

You wanted independence, you got it.

Hindus killed Muslims. Muslim killed Hindus. And they both killed Sikhs.

@beckyromero You don't see the difference here do you!? 馃檪

It wasn't backed by the government from either side. It was carried out by mobs who had become an unwilling pawn into the hands of the Brits. You guys were also colonized you should know 馃檪

In other words, even the future Indian and Pakistan leader couldn't even keep their own people from murdering their neighbors and co-workers - simply because of their religious differences.

Care to tell us how many died? How many were displaced?

And the two sides are [i]still[/i] fighting for land several miles above sea level.

@beckyromero you are jumping to silly conclusions now. Now things are different. We are independent nations. Are you deliberately playing dumb!? 馃檪

So that you won't have to talk about American genocides 馃榾

Journalists talk about the risk of nuclear war between the United States and Russia or China.

But if a nuclear war ever breaks out on this planet, it will probably be on the sub-continent between India and Pakistan.

(And, yes, we did horrible things to Native American tribes in the 19th century. But we've also made some, but slow progress, to account for what we did.)

I differ with your account of Afghanistan and Iraq.

@beckyromero You sound like the Oracle from matrix 馃檪

Only time will tell.

USA did horrible things in so many countries and communities. Not just on native Americans but also in other communities which are held captive in the federation of US today 馃檪

It's just that you are unaware of them. It's alright, we live and we learn 馃憤

@Unlearn Disgusting, reprehensible behavior should never be tolerated regardless of who is doing it. At the moment Russia is doing it. It should not be tolerated! What other countries have done in the past does NOT vindicate what Russia is doing now.

@walabby Agreed! But then other countries shouldn't project themselves as some kind of role model...

Weird feeling but i agree with you walabby.. Too often people try to excuse the atrcoties of other nations by bringing up past attrocities by other nations.. They are so focused on hating their own people that they go out of their way to try and shut down legitimate oppositon to another peoples crimes,,
