I really don't care what Russia or china thinks.

The only thing I care about is that we stop wasting trillions of dollars for the purpose of killing brown people.

Russia and China don’t care about US military spending when they’re considering genocide. For example, see the Uyghur muslim population in China, which is being genocided right now.

Got any data points to back up that claim of genocide?

Xinjiang is definitely under siege, with millions of people being placed in internment camps [1]. China's actions to date may be seen as a precursor to genocide, but that has not occurred yet.
