“Moreover, when they couldn’t coopt credible local leaders and such (ain’t gonna happen in most of Ukraine),...”
LOL, after Russia is through with Ukraine, there won’t be any Ukrainian men left to be coopted.
“Russia of today is equivalent to the old European colonial powers. Knew it all along, at least when it comes to mindset, intent and brutality.”
Except they have nuclear weapons with their “mindset, intent and brutality.” Get it?
Ah, so the Russians (leadership, not all the populace) are even worse than the old Euro colonizers, and you think their victims should just bend over for it. Plus you laugh at genocide and enjoy blackmail. Got it.
Thanks for so clearly articulating the short term reasons Russia must be stopped now.
