It’s a complicated issue to solve, and I’m not the person to solve it but the Russian state’s approach has basically been in every single way wrong.
The Russian ethnic minority and it’s treatment is a domestic issue. It is not a suitable pretext for Russia to invade a country, bomb schools and hospitals, and force Ukrainians into either a smaller portion of their country or to live under an ethnostate that does not represent them. Putin has naked imperial ambitions not just in Ukraine but also in Georgia.
I’m now gonna block you, as I do everyone with pro-Russia views. Because anyone that can excuse Russia’s actions is not worthy of my attention.
The Russian minority wasn’t being genocided, and at most they could be ethnically cleansed considering Russia has it’s own nuclear-armed ethnostate that’s the largest in the world. Genocide is an international issue, what was not even an ethnic cleansing is a domestic issue.

This is the nut of it and the thing a lot of folks seem to struggle with. The NATO fuckery in Ukraine notwithstanding, Putin thought he could raise the stakes in Ukraine through a full scale invasion. He was absolutely wrong to do so. He fucked things harder than a thousand pogroms in the Donbas could have done.

Okay, no. That’s not how internationalism works. You don’t look across the border at an atrocity, shrug, and say “Not my problem.”
The Russian response could have been to open their own borders, build up relief on their end, and give Donbas residents a safe place to run and hide. But “sorry fuckers, should have been a Russian born in Russia” is as meat-headed as the folks who wanted to charge into Ukraine guns blazing.
Last when i checked Russia is winning the war, its economy is rising, its economical bloc is gaining traction while the US hegemony crumbles and US vassals are in complete shambles (a lot of which like the liberation of Sahel is directly possible only because NATO is currently being uncovered as paper tiger).
I would say it’s very distant from “fucking up”.
than a thousand pogroms in the Donbas could have done.
What a nice thing to say, pogrom enjoyer. Donbass is one of the genocides we will never know how bad they would get because they were stopped in time. And if it wasn’t, tou probably wouldn’t even cry the crocodile tears, beacuse what’s a pogrom or hundred, right?

Might want to update your priors. Russia’s claiming a pyrrhic victory on the ground while losing irreplaceable assets and allies. US hegemony has been crumbling since the '00s, that’s nothing new. The vassals are, if anything, more militant and expansionist than ever (glances towards Israel)

How can you count the dead in this war well over the million mark and say that with a straight face?

What lack of historical materialism does to a mfer.

I also suspected that you can’t tell a difference between a genocide and a war where mainly members of genocidal organisations like AFU die, but you had to open your mouth and end the doubts. It always take a war to stop the nazis, always. But you people always shed tears over them unless they get to the level of III Reich or Israel (and often even then). I bet if USSR invaded nazi Germany in 1940 or if someone invaded Israel in october 2023 you would write such rot with a straight face too about them.
you can’t tell a difference between a genocide and a war
Talk about a lack of historical materialism. When the bulk of the casualties are unwilling conscripts and civilians, what do you think the difference is? Hell, the opening premise of the Russian invasion was to defend ethnic Russians. Much like with the US intervention in the former Yugoslavia and the de-Ba’athification of Iraq, this didn’t simply end in the allied ethnic groups being sheltered. It kicked off a wave of reprisal killings facilitated by the occupying army.
But you people always shed tears over them unless they get to the level of III Reich or Israel
Whether you’ve got a Sudanese Civil War or a Kashmiri occupation or a 40 year long Drug War, the first step to end the conflict is to stop the killing. Escalation never facilitates peace. What we saw out of Russia was an enormous cross-border escalation. And what we saw out of NATO was an enormous retaliation. Now its a bloodbath with no end in sight, because both parties have convinced themselves they’re Churchill and the other guy is Hitler.
if someone invaded Israel in october 2023 you would write such rot with a straight face too about them
Nobody was going to invade Iran in 2023 for the same reason nobody is going to invade North Korea after 2017. That game plan ended with the Six Day War. The only international solution to Israel in the modern day is containment and isolation, until the country can be de-radicalized through economic attrition and disarmed through treaty.
Same as the ANC’s allies used against the Boers in South Africa.
If you think the Israel-Iran War is going to somehow end in a more peaceful Israel or Iran, you need to put down Elon Musk’s ketamine and get back on that historical materialism you seem to care so much about.

Hey that’s exactly what Candice Owens said about how Hitler treated the jews

God you’re fucking shameless. Piece of shit.
Russia is the world’s largest ethnostate because you decided the word sounds bad and if it’s bad people you can just vamp?
But ‘meh’ ethnic cleansing? Leave it to the people doing it?
Eat a fucking knife, nazi.
You absolute baby
