I have come to consider all wars as genocidal as there are very few wars of necessity, most now are manufactured for convenience, profits and and pure barbarism. The fact there is a debate over whether or not Gaza is a genocide and the over all official indifference becomes the measure of how morally destitute the pathetic West has become.
We are in the late stages of decline as war, demagoguery and autocracy now rule with no accountability. We are seeing in very vivid terms what happens when democracy has collapsed and there is no accountability. This crisis was decades in the making and isn't going away any time soon.
The fact that the US Senate gave Marco Rubio a unanimous endorsement means all 99 of them should be sent home and put in diapers.
As Joe Sacco commented to Chris Hedges: "Democracies commit atrocities". Doesn't matter what you call yourself, what you perceive yourself to be, actions speak loudest.

Great post Robert Billlyard. The West is indeed morally bankrupt. They don't seem to have any vestige of decency left. Their media are total establishment shills. Trump making those comedic pronouncements would have us laughing if we didn't know that he is deadly serious. It is not a "golden age " he is ushering but a dystopia.

It's not really democracy but representative government which is pretty much equivalent to dictatorships, just a few more fat heads are in it.

Well said Robert Billyard!

What are you doing about it? What is anyone else doing about it? Actually we can at least talk about it and brainstorm on what we can do about it.
