American insistence that this war continue until Russia/Putin is “broken” is doing way more to end Ukrainian lives than Russia.
Genocide is a word that is becoming more meaningless with each passing day
I don’t think so tbh. It is not like “woke” in the sense that the term genocide is very well defined and in cases like Palestine is easily provable. It’s just that in western discourse liberals and left-liberals especially online ignore that and throw it around willy-nilly while parroting literal US state department lines.
It makes sense if you consider that the “international community” has benefited immensely from genocide. But the Western misuse is only a part of its purview even if its significant and the term itself won’t be rendered meaningless by this.
99% of people who use the word “genocide” are not aware of the legal definition, and would dismiss it if it disagrees with what they think.

a 3 year long war consisting primarily of artillery bombardments on civilian centers
This is… Not true?
It’s significantly more accurate to describe the war as consisting primarily of artillery bombardments on trench systems. It’s far closer to ww1 than anything else. Hundreds and hundreds of miles of trenches and minefields.
how do you describe a 3 year long war consisting primarily of artillery bombardments on civilian centers as anything but “genocide”?
Just take a page out of the
playbookIt was a kinetic engagement during which some civilians ceased to continue living
