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.

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, you 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?
I’m really not sure what it is you think Russia lost access to exactly given that they’re part of BRICS which is a bigger economic bloc than the G7 at this point.
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.

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