Timothy Snyder: “Whatever happens tonight, or any other nt in this war, is now legally defined by the president’s stunt. In practical application of the law of genocide, Genocide Convention of 1948, the difficulty is usually in proving “the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.” Henceforth intent is on the record, in the published words of the president of the U.S. & commander-in-chief of the armed forces abt death of “a whole civilization.”😡

@BlueWaver22 As does Putin, so does Trump. We used to have the ”Genocide Dwarf” in Moscow. Now we also have the ”Genocide Orange” in Washington.

@BlueWaver22 Trump is a moral stain on those who voted to empower him, and for us who did not, but who share the name American.

@BlueWaver22 This has to be true. It would be comparable to the largely successful attempt to wipe out the #ashkenazi / #yiddish civilisation of #easterneurope in the 1940s.
