Uhm Europe has taken Putin quite seriously on this. There's a reason we're only doing minor sanctions and weapons deliveries. But yeah Trump is bound not to improve things.

That pants-shitting moron Trump, unfortunately, will do everything in his power to help Putin's genocide along.
what genocide? not defending putin here but we can't start calling every armed conflict a genocide. but maybe I'm missing some context
If we take what Putin says he wants to do at face value, it's at least an attempt of doing the modern definition of genocide. Like if we call Gaza a genocide, then clearly the parts of Ukraine that fell to Russia are experiencing the same.
Russia has taken many thousands of children and are having them adopted and naturalized by Russian families. Preventing Ukrainian from being spoken at schools in occupied territories, targeting cultural sites of no military value etc.
It's not as 'flashy' or bloody of a genocide as some others, but it fits the description.
Wow that's disgusting. I'd call it ethnic cleansing
!Disclaimer: Don't quote me, I'm months behind on news/statistics.!<
Crimea, Donbas and the current conflict tally up around 1.2M casualties, on the low end. Estimates are really hard during any war, but most experts would agree they are always lower than the real amount. As for civilian deaths, it's in the 30-40k range. Even more are missing.
