You watch these bespectacled pundits and pampered politicians babbling about war the way they’d talk about their plans to remodel their kitchen or take a trip to Paris, and you just know if actual war ever showed up on their doorstep they’d literally soil themselves.

I mean that genocide is real and all with credible sources saying atrocious stuff.

But I don't see the link to this with the article. It focusses on the west, but that's who started the war the article is about?

Decade old claims from far right think tanks != Credible sources. There's a reason that western media stopped even bothering to try and present any evidence years ago. That's why, even though a decade has passed, the situation never progresses or changes, just remains in this frozen state of "there is a secret genocide happening, trust us"
