Trump Weighs in on Ukraine, Calls Russian Actions 'Genocide'
Red State ^ | April 14,2022 | Bonchie

Posted on 04/17/2022 2:41:58 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Donald Trump appeared on Sean Hannity’s show last night on Fox News. He commented on a variety of topics, including how the Biden administration has killed America’s energy independence.

But it was another comment that made the most news, lining up with something Joe Biden said days earlier: that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.

“…inflation to the loss of energy independence, it is so said to watch, and now add to to that what’s going on in Ukraine, that’s genocide, what’s happening in Ukraine, people have never seen anything like that before…“

Of course, we should be sending weapons to Ukraine. It’s for a good cause that represents our values of freedom and independence.

Merriam Webster: Definition of genocide : the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group

What Russia has been done in certain cities is clearly genocide. In Mariupol, they have leveled the entire city. Clearly their goal is to completely depopulate it of Ukrainain nationalists.d They did the same in some of the areas near Kiev, murdering civilians to depopulate the area.

I like Trump too, but calling this “genocide” is moronic by any standard.

Not sure I want an 80 year old Trump saying stupid $*** like this - which he will do.

Torturing the English language to make it fit an agenda is what communists, the American left and the foul American media do.

You can try to put a round word into a square hole - to work an agenda - but you’ll still look like an imbecile.

“ Of course, we should be sending weapons to Ukraine. It’s for a good cause that represents our values of freedom and independence.”

Indeed we should send weapons to Ukraine. When the dust settles Russia will pay for those weapons, one way or another. Or I should say those weapons will be paid for with Russian money.

You criticize a straightforward Merriam Webster definition, but offer none in replacement. That makes you Humpty Dumpty.

#3: The term “genocide” has come to mean “any casualties in a conflict”. Just as flags at half mast have come to mean “somebody died”.

Yes. Using this word genocide lightly shows a disrespect for the victims of the Shoah, for the victims of Holodomor, and the Armenian slaughter.

Love you President Trump; don't get suckered into "the narrative".

And I swear to God, the flags seem to be at perpetual half staff—empty virtue signaling.

Exactly. He is essentially a hostage. If he says anything other than “slobber Ukraini”, it’ll be used in the primary against him.

Sad to see.

I am starting to not trust him myself. The vaccine pushing, and now this. He is starting to morph into Biden.

Unlike some, while I voted for Trump, I never worshiped him.

Trump was a bull in a china shop. A destructive force of nature, with no clear plans, much less follow through.

But he was a bull in the Democrats' china shop. His big mouth and tweets destroyed many pieces sacred to the Left. It was fun to watch the anti-woke mayhem Trump caused. And it encouraged others to join in, both normal folk and otherwise timid Republican politicians.

We should clean our own dirty laundry and stay out of other countries’ hampers.
