In 50 years there will only be Russians and Israelis. No more Palestinians or Ukrainians
The funny thing is that as recently as thirty years ago, anyone from the former USSR space was a "Russian" in America. I remember it took special pains to explain to people that there were such things as Armenians, Tajiks, Ukrainians, Uzbeks etc. I mean people nodded and all, but you could see it was all casse-tete chinoise to them.
Very funny to remember that in the context of the current chest-beating of "they are Ukrainians! not Russians!" , as if anyone in America could tell them apart.
You can thank Putin for that. He's been beating the anti-West drum for the last 20 years, turning Russians against us, whereas we've not seen nearly as much of that from people of the other former SSRs.
He was perfectly friendly to the West twenty years ago. I assure you he did not begin his career from an anti-West place.
If I asked you to name all fifteen of the SSRs, would you be able to, without googling? No? Here's your answer.

The “pros” did such a great job in Iraq. We must listen to our betters.
And now DCUM intones with such seriousness - people must not invade sovereign countries! It's just not done!
So we shouldn't be telling Ukraine that they can't invade Russia and take Belgorad?
Wait, did you just admit the U.S. is telling Ukraine what to do?
Good to know.
We haven't been telling Ukraine what to do, except for certain limitations on using weapons like HIMARS (and now F-16s) on targets within Russia. We share intelligence and training, but that's giving information, not orders.

I think the nuclear threat remains under-appreciated, and I fear Putin will have no qualms about launching an attack if he finds himself in a no-win situation. Ukraine be damned. The Russian people be damned. The world be damned.
