The Armenians called, they are asking how the Assyrians and the Pontic Greeks are doing.

    Pfft, Turkiye are rank amateurs compared to Western Europe. They barely even genocided outside their borders.

    Western Europeans have committed genocide across every continent and may have killed ~90% in two of them. The land and resources we stole from the victims of our genocides is the foundation stone of all western power to the present.

        They gave it a good shot but they didn’t wipe out 90% of the population of both north and south america.

          TBF, the 90% of indigenous people in the Americas died due to disease. Some cases like those infamous smallpox blankets were on purpose, yes, but the vast majority was not. Can’t blame the westerners for not knowing how immune systems work in the 1500s.

          Not that they weren’t genocidal maniacs with the 10% that remained of course.

      Britain, Spain, and France: truly the greatest pirates in history. Absolute masters of the art of “rape, pillage, murder”.
