I’m for neither side’s imperialism. I think we should just have an open mind when it comes to information being fed to us. I am not however, for balkanization of the Ukraine or Russia which could be next.
If Russia becomes Balkanized, it will be because it never learned to treat its citizens like citizens. Putin will be the reason.
Russia is balkanized because it is a union of 80n countries. Ukraine is one and won’t “balkanize”, it has always been its own, just invaded time and again because it is plains, Europe’s breadbasket
