Putin Unleashes Record Bombing in Ukraine as the World Watches Gaza
thedailybeast.com
Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.
Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

Dude.... Ummm no. Just stop. There are less than 1% of the Native Americans left. We genocided those people. We killed them and took their land repeatedly. We forced them onto "worthless" land, and destroyed and outlawed their cultures. WE HANDED THEM POLIO AND CHOLERA INFECTED BLANKETS. Stop trying to whitewash fucking everything.
Also I don't give a fuck what a language that is DEAD has to say about a modern definition of an English word. You don't understand how language works.
There are 9.7 million Native Americans making up 2.9% of the total American population today. That is up from 313,000 prior to the Indian Wars. (105,000 lived east of the Mississippi, 128,000 west of the Mississippi to the Rockies, and 80,000 on the west coast.)
The Indian Removal Act migrated about 50,000 of the 105,000 to lands west of the Mississippi. The problem was this occurred during a yellow fever outbreak from 1822 to 1880 along the Mississippi and the South leading to a quarter of migrants to die along the route (150,000 white Americans in the same area also died).
I know it is big with progressive types to expose all the injustice in the world, but actually look at the context. Things are not as black and white as you want them to be.
Down from 60,000,000 in 1492
The rest of the planet lost 2/3 of humans from the same diseases. You can't blame Europeans for that.
No they didn't. They lost population due to the plague. The natives lost some due to the plague, but they lost way more than that due to the other diseases already present in Europe when Magellan and Columbus first landed.
About the same 2/3 of the population died in the new world due to disease.
Bullshit. About 90% of the original population died before the plague even hit Europe. You are trying to revise history, and flat out lying.
That was a single incident by the British in the French and Indian War and resulted in zero cases of smallpox.

It happened several times in the southwest as well. It wasn't just one time. You're being willfully ignorant.
Those are myths.
And now you just entered the realm of Holocaust denial. You're a willful idiot, just a shame so many of you help destroy any chance at a decent future.
He's not wrong. The Smallpox Blanket myth is a closely held belief for which there is no evidence. Here's a good outline of how the story grew and spread over time.

I live(d) in the southwest US, and know a lot of natives that would be able to point to sources that I can't, that say otherwise.
The primary disconnect, if you read the link I posted, is that there were other vectors for smallpox deaths.
Nobody is denying that thousands upon thousands of people died of smallpox, that DEFINITELY happened.
It just wasn't caused by infected blankets.
The holocaust wasn't a myth, where do you get your information.
You're correct, the Holocaust happened, just like the genocide of the Native Americans happened, that you want to deny happened. Fuck off out of here with your genocidal apologist historical revisionism. I would have called out Woodrow "I literally wrote Southern Revisionism" Wilson, and my grandparent and great grandparents die. Fuck you and your historical revisionism. Also known as "bald-faced lies" if they are told with the knowledge of the history in question. If you are just parroting misinformation, fuck you again, but not as hard. Stop being willfully ignorant.
