How to use extermination in a sentence?
This is very worrisome, these wolves were subjected to a ruthless extermination campaign to the point where they nearly went extinct.
Assistant US Attorney Artie McConnell:
The complaint makes clear that in the wake of the results of the presidential election, this defendant greatly exceeded what can be considered political hyperbole, he used words like' carnage,'' extermination,'' assassination.' He encouraged people to take' offensive action' in an effort to threaten to kill members of the government including law enforcement agents, even going so far as calling for the bombing of an FBI building and citing the Turner Diaries, which has been the inspiration for numerous acts of terrorism including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
The main tool in 1932-33 was extermination by starvation, taking away all foodstuffs and making conditions incompatible with life. It is the same now. Creating conditions incompatible with life, but now there is a wider range of tools, and they are more military related. New weapons, new missiles. A huge mass of troops aimed at destroying and suppressing Ukrainian resistance.
The American delay in officially declaring what has happened to the Christians officially as genocide, or mass extermination and systematic persecution has caused a huge disappointment among the Christians, they have waited a long time for the international community, especially America, to declare this so that they can be supported and protected in their own country.
Romania Prosecutor Denisa Cristodor:
What surprised me is (former prisoners) made no material demands, the historic reparation was enough, it was a regime of physical and mental extermination.
