The US does all of these things. Remember the CIA?

One million Iraqis killed by the US. What is that if not genocide. Currently, civilians are being killed by the US every day with their bombings. More civilians being killed every day by their sanctions. It’s genocide.

Sanctions on places like Iran Venezuela are "genocide" in the same sense that silence is violence, i.e. when you don't believe words have meaning, and when you seek to obscure rather than enlighten.
