rome should have never broken into eastern and western empires

that was inevitable because they made debts sacred instead of simply cancelling them when necessary, leading to an entrenched oligarchy whose power undermined the state. this way is a dead end as we are experiencing.

how are these casualty rates explained when you see how disproportionate it is though? according to this study, Buryats are casualties at rates almost six times tht of the baseline (also I am unsure of the breakdown of Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian, the author seems to have combined them?)




I found a good preprint study that goes into casualty analysis of ethnicity, very interesting data and analysis

https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/s43yf/download

Probably because when you're talking about 200 guys getting killed, it's unlikely that its the result of systemic efforts of extermination rather than a unit from Buryatia happening to encounter heavy resistance at Kiev. There are 400,000 Buryats in Russia so if somebody was trying to destroy them through war they'd have to try harder.

With Chechens its because Chechnya has a very different demographic pyramid. There's a lot of young men in Chechnya relative to the total population, so more get recruited. It's also a weird feudal substate where Kadyrov decides everything, and he really supports the war. He's a Chechen himself though

Ok since everyone is posting their favorite naval gazing theory.

How is the Kyiv government different from other colonial administrations setup to extract wealth from local population or some other geopolitical gain.

but seriously, the idea of a Jewish homeland shared with Germans, Poles and Ruthenes was proven to be viable so there’s no reason I can see why Palestinians could not be included also.

I'm no expert of the situation but my guess would be

It's been 30 years since the dissolution of the USSR and the 90s did a whole number on Russia as a whole and neoliberal capitalism rewards family ties, so wealth tends to accumulate where blood ties are close and access to higher learning and more well paid jobs are tied to that. When a nation does a draft or conscription it usually has a bunch of exemptions for technical or academic fields. So minorities which usually do not fall in the wealthy bubble of nepotism are more likely to be drafted by seemingly neutral draft standards. It doesn't necessarily have to be because they're trying to exterminate their minorities.

im not sure i'm reading this correctly, but wouldn't this merely show that ethnic minorities join the military at a disproportionate rate? which of course implies bad things about their access to mainstream society but thats a bit of a different issue

Apparently Galitzianers made up a huge part of the early Israeli left and had some of the most sympathy towards the Arabs so again I ask why we can’t have two Galicias? One in the Holy Land and one in Europe?
