So... are we going to count the wars russia started vs the wars US&allies started? Genocide is a strong word... how many dead people count as a genocide? Because if russia applies the same rules as US, 500k dead children are worth it: [VIDEO] ... in a war half a planet away from USA.

Interviewer: "We have heard that a half a million children have died. I mean that's more children than died in Hiroshima. You know, is the price worth it?" Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." This is from a 1996 interview with this woman [1] about the Iraq invasion. Good riddance to bad rubbish. [1]: [VIDEO]

As a child, Albright was hoping I would die[0] so she would dance on mine. It's great that I survived, and I can dance on her grave on behalf of the half million children that didn't. [0] [VIDEO]
