    I applaud your argument. It’s one of the better ones. They still invaded a sovereign nation (twice), even if some people supported you. I don’t see Russia supporting Chechen independence even though some Chechens want independence. Ohhhh… I see we have to break the back of the Russian military to do that…

      Perhaps such a thing should happen, I don’t know the actual popularity of the independence movement. Wouldn’t want to stumble into another “revolution of our time” where most people oppose it. But I am not aware of Russia bombarding Chenya either, so I think all the Intel is on your side there. Ukraine certainly doesn’t seem to respect them, considering the origin of the “Orc” meme . . .

      But Russia would have had much weaker justification if it hadn’t spent the 8 years prior to the invasion trying to negotiate a peaceful solution to the bombardment which Ukraine, again, handled in a deceitful and destructive manner.

      Certainly the Russian military needs to be disassembled eventually, since the Federation is a liberal state and thereby only very circumstantially helpful, but I’d be careful about equivocation in the context of the west and its Banderite dogs.
