It's almost like the angriest loudest people on the internet haven't followed and studied decades of geopolitical history

Have you considered that some people don't accept that genocide is a necessary fact of "geopolitics?"

There's a word for people that do.

Unfortunately snark and smug superiority don't win elections.
