His view regarding the Bosnian genocide is really strange imo. I would correct you that the people perpetrating it weren't really communists, but serbian nationalists.

However, his "USA bad" take is correct because it's true. Being anti-US, anti-NATO, anti-imperialism is the only moral view to have when you look at the history and current politics of the US.

"Being anti-US, anti-NATO, anti-imperialism is the only moral view"

And trade it for Russian imperialism? Chinese? As an Eastern European being pro-US and pro-NATO is the only moral view.

I agree, but would reword it to "self determination on a state scale is the only moral view". And in most Eastern European cases that seems to be very much pro-US and pro-NATO. After all it is not like anyone is forced to join.

They are not strange it's very easy to understand: He says that throwing around the word genocide for every atrocity cheapens the word and diminishes how bad the holocaust was.

As for the parent the "fat man" he is referring to is the man in the back, not the man in the front. And the picture is pure propaganda: as he points out (and I believe was confirmed by the actual photographer) what is depicted and understood to show a prison isn't even fenced in. I would love to know what the "false claims about what the sources he cited said". I only know of one case were he mis-cited someone and it didn't change the meaning.
