No clue why this was removed by a mod. It’s %100 correct. Russia needs to be handled like the allies handled Nazi Germany, destroy it completely and rebuild it
Russians need a taste of their own medicine. You have to treat them like they treat others. If they bring up “human rights”, you must let them know that you can see through their ruse and you know they don’t care about human rights and they are lying.
This is the only way to deal with russians.
Sure, not every russian is a genocidal imperialist, but when any and all research (quantitative, qualitative, preference falsification adjusted etc.) shows that something between 65% to 85% of russians are genocidal imperialists, you have to approach them in a sober manner. The world doesn’t always work as one wants it to work. White-washing russian genocidal imperialism benefits no one, including the russians themselves.
I don’t see how that comment is offensive unless you purposely conflate Russia to mean “Russian citizens” rather than the very clearly intended “Russian Government”.
I am conflating anything. I am basing my statements on reality.
As per research spanning 30+ plus years, covering multiple methodologies and sources, a solid 65% of russians support genocidal imperialism with another 20% being supporters of imperialism with less genocidal tendencies. This holds true across the history of modern russia (with some variations, but minor ones).
So around 85% of the population are either genocidal imperialist or regular imperialists (with most being genocidal imperialists).
Keep in mind that most seemingly intelligent counter arguments “they are all afraid, most russians oppose putin, they are just forced to answer in this way” or “it’s all due to propaganda” can actually be tested and either outright discredited or shown that their impact is irrelevant.
I will add that ignoring these facts and trying to white-wash deep rooted support for genocidal imperialism among at least a strong majority of russians benefits no one. Including the russians themselves. You’re not doing them any favours by playing into their victimhood narratives.
