>This is fake

It is kind of hard to "assume the best" in case of your comment, ie. that you are supposedly just not aware what i'm talking about given that the info is just one google search away. Anyway, given the very familiar style, impeccable logical consistency and convincing strength of that an argument of yours i suppose that you're a Russian and thus can read this for example (i just don't have nor time nor desire to work through very slow Rutube to find the TV reports, and the text article is more useful for non-Russian speaking people here who can use Google Translate on it):

https://www.infox.ru/news/251/270756-rossiane-smogut-usynovl...

(by the March 10 date of the article they already report 1090 children taken away to Russia since beginning of the war on Feb 24, and they also report there about expected law changes to simplify adoption of Ukrainian children into Russia)

By the way, what Russia has been doing here - forceful taking away of children by a nation A from a nation B and bringing those children up in the culture and spirit of the nation A - is a cultural genocide.

>and flamebait.

i guess you are an expert here.

---------------------

This is my original, GP, comment which seems to have been flagged:

These days we have Ukrainian children being massively taken away into Russia. In particular from Mariupol where Russians killed something like 50K civilians. On state TV they even happily report how those children get new Russian families.

As an example of an end result - there was a POW who was taken away in 2014 who was drafted into Russian army and sent to fight in Ukraine.

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. We've had to ask you this many times.

Attacking another user for their ethnicity is going to get you banned here, regardless of who you have a problem with. I realize that people feel strongly in a war but you can't do that here, so please don't do it again.

    You're serious? The guy brings in the trolling from Russian propaganda forums- you should see the trash they spread there - the Russian here isn't ethnicity, it is the country Russia which has many ethnicities - and you let him just do it.

    I'm not attacking him for ethnicity - i'm pointing that it is pretty obvious that he is a Russian troll. Do you really think that his comment isn't in a gross violation of all the rules, and such comment requires an answer with specific facts/references i gave? You're really on the wrong side here.

    >We've had to ask you this many times

    sorry, i don't remember those many times.

    In this specific case what do you see as a "flamewar" on my side? Do you see any fake facts or lying? Qualification of cultural genocide as what being committed by Russia isn't just my words here - it follows definition, just google it.

    Whereis the guy clearly lied without any possible factual backing when he made that statement of "fake". That is one of the main points and tools of Russian propaganda, and you just let it here. That propaganda right now is a weapon used by Russia together with other weapons in that war.

    His "fake" to the cultural genocide being performed by Russia is no different than a "fake" in response to Armenian genocide or Holocaust. How can you let it here?

    If one says that Turks committed Armenian genocide or Germans - Holocaust would it be attacking Turks or Germans on their ethnicity? How is that different when applied to Russians?

    I'm reposting my comment. Feel free to ban me.
