Does not seem like words have meanings. All the nuance in your tank is reserved for the constant America-led warmongering in the middle east with a death toll in millions, many more displaced, and known torture sites like Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and god known how many more black sites. Meanwhile the Uyghur are unequivocally being genocided despite ZERO CONFIRMED CASUALTIES four years into the news cycle. So your litmus test for genocide seems to be US foreign policy despite the emphasis on words having meaning.

astral_avacado said elsewhere that the Iraq Invasion was just "misguided" so its definitely a case of us-foreign-policy with how they decide what is and isn't a genocide.
