re: #73 Political Atheist

Genocide is supposed to trigger intervention but that has been highly inconsistent. Very poorly applied, especially in the case of Africa as we well know. Europe? Hit fast and hard. Somalia? “No that’s not really a genocide”

Heck we can’t even be consistent with our aid rules. No aid for Egypt in the event of a coup right? Not this month. Somehow a military removal of an elected President was not a coup. The rule, or law really does not have “unless it’s a coup we like” in the language.

It’s not a coup because we aren’t calling it a coup. As simple as that.
