        It’s simply impossible to imagine they were telling the truth when they said genocide was a red line

              Correct. Good thing that my comment was a hyperbolic denunciation of a clear pattern of actual attitudes and behaviors rather than a blame shifting strawman like the one I was replying to.

                  And you’re thus continuing to be wrong.

                  Deliberate and obvious hyperbole to emphasize a valid point is NOT a strawman, nor is it equivalent.

                    You think if you can justify a strawman, it isn’t one.

                    That’s not how it works.

        Don’t forget all the people of the world who sit back and laugh at the suffering of millions of people just because the leaders they can’t control do bad shit. Getting pleasure out of watching people suffer is wrong.
