lol I do kind of like this rationale because it never applies to Guam, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the right of the southern states to secede, the southwest returning to Mexico, Oklahoma and other parts of the Indian Territory being returned.

The US doesn’t have the power to do this to Russia, but it’s within their means to practice what they preach at home, if it’s a moral argument.

that was intended to be an argument in support of decolonization of historically oppressed ethnic minorities who are currently getting fed into a military woodchipper at above average rates compared to the imperial core and im pretty sure tuvans would like that to not happen and that many in the caucasus would prefer to be independent rather than subsumed into internal ethnic minority republics where the minorities they've named after aren't even the majority-population in their borders. russia is mobilizing ethnic minorities at much higher rates and subsequently they are dying in carload lots on the battlefield, and i would like that to not be the case. ideally i would like there to be no dying of any kind on the battlefield because there wouldn't be a war, but this kind of mobilization is disproportionately deadly to non ethnic-Russians. i also am in favor of balkanizing the US for the same treatment of its own minorities fwiw, overly large empires cause unnecessary suffering just by existing

support of decolonization of historically oppressed ethnic minorities :



The 1783 line is also bullshit as HRH George III honoured treaties barring expansion beyond the Ohio Valley. The First Nations never ceded those lands to the Yankees. In fact, this had previously been the cause of Pontiac’s Rebellion, just a few years before.

Something those guys will never understand is that Frosted Flake, one of this thread's esteemed posters, served in a colonial war and may have been responsible for killing civilians, but does not think this is something to be proud of and actually thinks war is bad and fewer people dying would be better.

That's the CSPAM standard. Don't think war is great. Don't cheer for war crimes. Don't be proud of your contribution. But libs just absolutely cannot wrap their heads around it.

I don't think balkanization is a good idea for increasing the wellbeing of any populations really, especially when it's not something that the minorities in question are meaningfully demanding. but honestly you're a lot better than the other guys who've turned up, just do less drinking and posting

edit: actually having read your other posts you're not better

Mobilized men from the Irkutsk region who wrote an appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin complaining about the actions of their command in the Donetsk People's Republic will soon be transferred to a new place of service, the region's governor Igor Kobzev said in his Telegram channel.

We are talking about mobilized men serving in Regiment 1439. In their video message, they said that they serve in the DNR, where they were sent from Novosibirsk in late 2022. They asked the president for assistance and "to deal with the lawless and criminal orders" of their command in the DNR. The servicemen claim that they were handed over to the republic's first Slavic brigade, where they - soldiers of the territorial defense - formed assault units in a day. After that, the soldiers claim, they were sent "to slaughter," without any support, to capture the fortified area.
