    Honest question re Ukraine and Russia continuing to be “brotherly peoples:” what is sentiment of average Chechens towards Russia these days? From the outside, it looks as if they have largely realized the collective West was using them, and as a result the anger they had towards Russia has turned into anger at the west. I wonder if, following either (1) a Russian victory, (2) collapse of the Ukrainian government, or (3) Ukrainian victory leading only to IMF-imposed austerity, the Ukrainians could similarly realize that they were used, and become friendlier to Russia.

      About Ukraine, note the turn of events:

      • 1991, all the shit that happened
      • 2004, colour revolution putting the rabid russophobes and western puppets in power
      • After few years, Ukrainians elect president that promised normalisation
      • 2014, coup putting the rabid russophobes and western puppets in power
      • After few years, ukrainians again elect president that promised normalisation
      • 2024??? seems like 2023 or 2024 will bring another huge upheaval

      So while i wouldn’t say Ukrainians and Russians are brothers, not after century of chauvinist propaganda and now literal war, but they sure as hell don’t want to be enemies and USA needs to coup them every decade to remind them of their place.
