You watch these bespectacled pundits and pampered politicians babbling about war the way they’d talk about their plans to remodel their kitchen or take a trip to Paris, and you just know if actual war ever showed up on their doorstep they’d literally soil themselves.

What is that even supposed to mean? Just random whataboutism I suppose?

I mean that genocide is real and all with credible sources saying atrocious stuff.

But I don't see the link to this with the article. It focusses on the west, but that's who started the war the article is about?
