During the Balkan wars of three or so decades ago, when Serbia's Milosevic was the "bad guy" of that era (Putin had to wait his turn), the _New Republic_ cautioned people not to go overboard with their rhetoric. As one of their writers put it, "Milosevic is not Hitler, and Sarajevo is not Auschwitz." In other words, war crimes (which ALL countries, including the good ol' red, white, and blue USA commit) do not equate to genocide.

🤷🏻‍♂️I remain skeptical of the innocence argument. IMHO, with the result we see as evidence, using the term “Genocide” rests upon the intent involved. Was the intent to usurp and wipe out a people? At some point in western expansion, the intent seems apparent.
