[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s not ignore Russia’s hateful antiSemitism:

He's not wrong though that ethnic Ukrainians would be better off under Russian rule. [/quote]

Better off in a zinc box, you mean?  Under Russian rule Ukrainians would be purged and they know it.  That's why the Ukrainians will never capitulate and that's why Russia will never "win".  They've burned hatred into the hearts of this Ukrainian generation, and it could last for several generations if the Russian Government continues this path.  It will become more like the European version of Israel vs Palestine.

But I wouldn't worry too much.  Russia has insufficient troops to occupy Ukraine.  It also has less population to maintain current Russian borders, with the Russian Far East more likely to fall under Chinese influence by the day.  Without the Far East or resources exploited in Ukraine, Russia will be in a tight spot.  They're alone, and know it.

Fear and propaganda to control Russian citizens isn't working anymore.  Each day Russia moves closer and closer to losing control.  Russia is in the middle of winter, with only a few weeks before the Russian elections.  The Russian military hasn't made significant gains over the past year.  Even internal sabotage is becoming commonplace.  This is this past week's damage:

What if...

Now imagine if a Russian hard-liner goes rogue, or Chechnya splits from Moscow and pulls out their barrier troops, or if Poland decides it's time to enter into the conflict?  If there's this much fear in Russia now, just imagine if something else happens?[/quote]
