    He’s already supporting one genocide (Ukrainians) and says if China wants to do another (kill the people of Taiwan to take over the island), it’s their own business.

    Pretending to be anti-genocide the one time the genocide is perpetrated by his masters’ enemies doesn’t make him anti-genocide. Makes him a hypocrite.

      I’m not happy about the war in Ukraine, but it’s a war, not a genocide. You need to be serious when discussing topics like this, especially when we have the example of genocides happening right now, livestreamed for all of us to see.

      Great now Chinese puppet Melenchon’s China wants to kill the people of Taiwan now, they totally have for decades declared for an upcoming genocide and a forever military invasion and not diplomatic engagement, says volumes how you keep devolving into completely absurd unsubstantiated statements, I would respond to any claims you made if you actually provided any credible sources for it.

        He has literally said that if/when China invades, France will not invade because it’s China’s right to do so.

          A non-aligned and non-interventionist foreign policy, oh the shock and horror, Melenchon emphasised that China doesn’t want to and will not invade Taiwan and that France interfering in a UN unrecognised domestic matter would be bad for France which does not want more wars and does not have the resources for the other side of the world or being the police of the world.

          Anways I was also unable to find any expression of intent by China or toleration by Melenchon of genocide in Taiwan, not like it makes any sense in any scenario whatsoever given peaceful reunification is the current goal and escalation into war only benefits the US.

            So intervention is good but only if it’s not YOUR favourite dictators doing the war.

            On Melenchon saying China attacking Taiwan and killing Taiwanese citizens would be China’s business and he wouldn’t intervene:

            Again, it’s not war or genocide he’s against. Not on general principle, anyway. It’s only the genocide against Palestinians - because that’s the position his sponsors want him to take.

            Why is it so much to ask for to get politicians who think all offensive wars and genocides are bad?
