Oh please enough BS already. You jumped to a conclusion without even asking what I meant. Fine, stick at it if thats so bloody important to you. All your comments are automatically the word of God (pat. pending) & everyone else babbles from the hip, whatever bro.

Well cuz, here is your original statement:
Your observation is simply false. You can kill in droves right in front of the UN and the media, and no one even gives a damn....as long as you're not one of the "Good Guys".

Thats exactly what I said. And given past UN actions, thats exactly what has happened.
If the media /or someone with a stake in the conflict plays the media and escalates it into outrage, then theres some
chance of international intervention...otherwise, theres less than none.
Here let me repeat it:
A bunch of the usual tribal wars in Africa or thousands of rebels slaughtering other rebels in Myanmar or ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh, dont count as any sort of blip on the world radar. Its just regarded as more of the usual.

It created a MASSIVE groundswell of support for that Marine(who was not charged btw).

It was cited as an example of western brutality in the very countries your folks were trying to conduct a hearts and minds campaign. It was a PR debacle. The US publics sympathy for that jarhead is beside the point.

Agreed, but your statement DID NOT SAY, "The time of the US winning via mass genocide is over". You said "The era of mass killing, genocides and ethnic cleansing as a way of winning wars is over senor
Which is an obvious falsehood..".

Dude, look into the
context. Whats being discussed here? Some random massacres or some actual relevant stuff, which would imply that we are discussing the relevance to the US / west. You could have simply
asked!

Russia Razed Grozny to the ground.

Again, read what I said cuz. The Russian army can no longer get away with such stuff in Russia today.
"Even Russia cant drop the hammer on Chechnya beyond a point nowadays."

Who was talking about the US? You made a BLANKET STATEMENT(an erroneous one), you did not restrict your comments to the West.
|
Did you ask what I meant before yelling yippie and jumping? Secondly, not just the west, any country which is a democracy or has rule of law and an extensive fourth estate which tries to wage a COIN campaign is slammed for being even moderately tough.

So Darfur, where 400k are dead at the hand of Muslims is not a "Blip on the radar" to you?
Interesting...

And are you in Darfur right now protecting the poor ? If not, why? Should I assume thats because you dont care? is that in anyway a valid assumption or just jumping to a conclusion as you are doing?
