        Everyone has purity tests, everyone has red lines. None are more reasonable than genocide.

          She said it was a humanitarian catastrophe from day one of the invasion and called for an immediate ceasefire soon after. Just because she didn’t use the exact word you want, a hugely legally binding and implicating one too mind you, you’re willing to write her off?

          You do realize that if that is your standard then literally no member of congress or in the executive is good enough for you, right?

          Not to mention that it’d be hugely irresponsible for any government official to make a comment like that before the ICC ruling is actually finished.

            You think it’s irresponsible to call this a genocide before the ICC comes to a verdict in 20 years?
