If a genocide is being committed and I am the president of a large military power to the extent where it is feasible for me to just... stop that genocide if only temporarily via military means should I do it? How should these type of extreme situations be handled in general ? Sincerely asking for your opinion txt . Much thanks
this is an understandable question but it is also fundamentally malformed--built upon unspoken premises that are incorrect. imperialist nations, with the power and resources to conduct large-scale global military interventions, are specific structures that are built in specific ways. much like any other organization, they are self-filtering. you cannot become the president of the united states of america if you genuinely believe that the purpose of the united states military is anything other than to enrich the usamerican bourgeoisie (or, in sanitized language, 'protect usamerican interests').
similarly, just like any tools, militaries are not neutral and all-purpose. the usamerican military has over centuries been built as a resource-extraction and violence apparatus. saying 'the imperial powers should use their militaries to enforce peace and safety for oppressed peoples' is like saying 'i'm going to cook my soup with this gun' -- it can't do that. it is not an apparatus capable of doing that and to become one it would have to be transformed to an unrecognizable degree.
so the answer to your question is: this is a pure thought experiment. military power cannot be (to paraphrase a lenin quote i love so very much) taken alone, but rather must be 'taken together' when considering to what applications it 'can' or 'should' be used. this question is much like saying 'if i have a missile launcher, should i use it to cook food for the hungry?' where giving any answer at all surrenders to the absurdity of the question.

Genocide before our eyes, and we can do nothing but depend on leaders who are proven to be useless and heartless 💔

Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.

Remember that the calls for the national guard to intervene are calls to use state violence against Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, Muslim and other pro-Palestine students. They’re calling for deadly violence against Jews in the name of “anti-antisemitism.”
