You can, in fact, be fighting for liberty and be a brutal murderer. You can even be fighting for liberty one day and a brutal dictator the next.

Hiding genocides under the carpet because they are done by the former colony or satellite is not great.

There was forced deportation, not genocide.

Yeah, I had other examples in mind. Ethnic cleansing is not that much better, though.

Again, that's a peculiar way to characterise decolonisation.
