    it’s genocide… if the realpolitik is to serve any purpose, at some point you have to cash in your chips to prevent catastrophe. otherwise, it’s just posturing. their blood is on all of our hands.

      Absolutely, but it’s difficult to translate that into anything actionable that sympathetic countries like China on the other end of Asia, or even nearby Iran, can enact in practice. Global South countries simply don’t have the capacity or logistical infrastructure for intervention that the enablers of Western imperialism like the US with its military bases occupying every region of the globe and eleven aircraft carriers has.
