[From "The Biden Entity Accuses Turkey of Genocide of Armenians"]

On principle, I generally assume any “genocide” or “mass murder” has been exaggerated for political purposes. I don’t know that I would define myself as a “genocide denier, generally,” but with everything from Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust and Joseph Stalin’s gulags to Mao Zedong’s farming troubles and Pol Pot’s urbanite relocation programs, I’ve always tended to err on the side of assuming widespread exaggeration

Obviously, large numbers of people die in wars. What I have found is that the purposeful mass-killing of civilians by their own government is typically exaggerated. Generally, it is simply bad policy to kill your own civilians, and I don’t think sadism or insanity is going to trump economic realities in most cases

Even in the case with the Jews, which were seen as foreign, Adolf Hitler was using the concentration camps for free labor, so the idea of exterminating a workforce in the middle of a war simply does not make any sense

All of this having been said: The Young Turks probably did kill a lot of Armenians, and they probably did so pretty much randomly, as they were attempting to remove them from their country
[…]
I suppose it’s just a general push to create chaos and disorder by turning various people against each other. Maybe it is also some kind of attempt to sway Armenians toward the Western NATO alliance. There hasn’t been an effective color revolution in Armenia, and it is still close to Russia. So they’re probably planning on something along those lines
