Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared that dealing with war criminals requires zero tolerance, specifically targeting Russian President Putin as potentially the current era's worst offender
Or…you can rightfully point out that he should apply the same standard to Netanyahu, since the death toll in Gaza is several times higher than it is in Ukraine. After all, by his own words, there should be “zero tolerance” when dealing with war criminals.
If that is how he chooses to frame it…then make sure the frame encompasses all the available data.
There’s only one genocide going on right now. And it’s in Palestine. There’s no genocide in Xinjiang. I was there last year. There’s 24.000 mosques in Xinjiang, Muslims all over and none will tell you they are being mass murdered. Propaganda from the people who are actually commuting genocide…
That’s just not true. Russia is (or at least was, I’ll admit to not keeping up as much with Ukraine) doing genocide as well. Entire towns have been slaughtered and children were taken away to be reeducated, that’s genocide too.
A genocide is a worse thing than “just” killing several hundred thousand civilians. And of course, just alone the destruction of Mariupol gets at least close to 10 000 killed civilians, possibly more.
Lets keep to real figures please. Ukrainian sources estimated shortly after that around 25,000 people were killed and a later independent investigation found likely evidence for around 10,000 killed.
you forgot mr. genocide down in zion…
Perhaps you forgot Mr. Genocides (plural) in Beijing. It goes to show that we should be careful with hyperboles. This isn‘t a contest after all.
Title is for the “most serious war criminal of our time”. There’s no hyperbole here. It literally is a genocide measuring contest.
But that‘s the problem. Just because that lunatic of a leader frames it like one doesn‘t mean we have to participate in it.

The Satellite Photos of Uyghur Concentration Camps tell a different story…
Satellite photos don’t tell shit. Travel there.

Yes because it is only a genocide ™ if you can see the smoke stacks from the crematoriums from groundlevel /s
Putin, in terms of a single person (don’t forget Israel has had multiple
dictatorsPMs), IS the biggest war criminal alive.Only because USA presidents only last 8 years in power at most
@ICastFist …. we all hope. Wasn’t there also a term limit in Russia at some point?
No idea, I’d have to look that up. All I know is that Putin getting elected in the first place, back in 2000, was questionable, to say the least.
Comes easily at the second place. But it’s only one nation, while Putin is killing several nations at the same time.
Why easily? E.g. the Iraq war was also without UN mandate and depending on analysis could have more civilian casualities.

Now the number of zeroes is correct. Thanks!
