Macaroon snuggles up to Pootin

Genocide has a somewhat specific meaning, just like "war crimes". Seems a non-story. Macron doesn't want to use a term lightly.

Course not the Vichy government is a littles sensitive.

I applaud someone not rushing to throw words around lightly. A bit like calling everyone a racist.

yes its not genocide until you murder a large number of people of the same race with intent. How large? What intent ?

1. A mental element: the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such"; and
2. A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:
   • Killing members of the group
   • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
   • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
   • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
   • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

I think most of those have a tick in the box.

What race is he intent on murdering? Is there a racial element to it? He isn't trying to wipe out a certain racial group (AFAIK) he's trying to seize territory he claims is already full of his own people.

Can't tell if this is a lame joke or proving my point.
