          No, China and the Soviet Union are not genocidal nor settler-colonies, which leads me to believe you have no idea what that even means.

            Yeah, ask Ukraine. Or Estonia. Or Latvia. Or Belarus. Or Lithuania. Or Poland. Or Czechia. Or Hungary. But what’s a few genocides and a dozen colonies, right?

                They just went on vacation and took their tanks.

                And holodomor, katyń, and others where just disagreements.

                  You have a cartoonish understanding of how the USSR worked. The 1930s famine, as I already stated, was a result of poor weather conditions combined with underdeveloped, still-feudal agricultural practices. Katyn was neither settler-colonialism nor genocide, but was most likely committed by the Nazis given that the ammo was German, the execution method Nazi, and manufacturing dates of the ammo happened at a time when the Soviets could not have accessed them.

                    Too bad Russians contradict you… Keep denying genocide. What’s next, Palestine is just suffering from a storm? The Armenians just were tired after a walk? I’m curious, which other genocides do you deny?
