  • All governments are Authoritarian, I’m still waiting for proof that Russia is doing anything of the sort (no, rescuing orphans from war-torn cities is not mass deportations of children it is humanitarian aid, many such cases exist around the world of NATO aligned countries doing the exact same thing).

    There is a history of evidence of the Donbass bombing before the SMO, and that was a targeted attempt to ethnically cleanse a region, however this was perpetrated by the Azov nazis. The classification of the Uyghurs as a genocide has been disputed by many Islamic countries, as well as the UN itself.

    What country has systemic and codified apartheid? Strange claim to make, lol

    Consider the hypothetical, Texas has decided to secede and has had a majority of the population vote on a referendum to do so. Rather than becoming independent they wish to join Mexico, Mexico agrees as there is a large portion of Texas that speaks Spanish and there is a historical precedent of Mexico owning that territory.

    The rest of the United States doesn’t want this and considers this illegal, a nationalist division of the U.S military decides to engage in sustained artillery bombardment of the cities: Dallas, Austin, and Houston.

    Mexico seeing the devastation of people now considered Mexican organizes two separate talks to try and work out some sort of cease fire and pathway forward that respects the will of the people. The nationalist division pays no mind to any sort of agreement and continues the bombardment, Mexico decides that enough is enough and sends its military in to secure Texas as well as destroy the nationalist division.

    In this analogy, the United States is Ukraine, Texas is the Donbass, and Mexico is Russia.

    Sadly war is hell, if only the peace talks weren’t sabotaged by Boris Johnson otherwise the Russia-Ukraine war would be over.

    https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220810-diplomats-from-30-muslim-countries-visited-chinas-xinjiang-region/

    "The five-day visit took place last week and included envoys from countries including Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and Pakistan. The >delegation visited the provincial capital Urumqi in addition to Kashgar and Aksu prefectures. They were met by Ma Xingrui, secretary of the >Party Committee of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

    A spokesperson for theFforeign Ministry, Hua Chunying said the diplomats visited mosques, Islamic schools, museums, old city renovation, >grassroots communities, technology enterprises, green development and rural revitalisation projects.

    “Members of the delegation expressed that the Chinese government adheres to the people-centred approach and has made great >achievements in promoting the governance and development of Xinjiang,” she said." Algeria’s Ambassador to China, Hassane Rabehi, was quoted by local media as saying, “The fruit here is so sweet, just like the life of the >people here”, adding that he got to know the “real situation” of Xinjiang, where the rights of people of all ethnic groups are well protected, >said reports.

    Following the event, a press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that envoys expressed that “freedom of religious belief and >various rights of Muslims are duly guaranteed.” And that what the delegation saw and heard along the way “is completely different from what >some Western media reported.”

    Per https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/middle-east-monitor/

    “MEMO generally supports Islamist positions” “the Middle East Monitor promotes a strongly pro-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Hamas viewpoint” " We could not find any instances of the Middle East Monitor failing fact checks"

    The source in this article is a direct quote from government officials both China and from the countries that sent the delegates. If in fact there was a “genocide” I would expect a “pro-Muslim” news outlet to agree with what western media is spouting.

    Does this pass your legitimacy test? If not, why?
