Perhaps you are already aware, but if not: one of the tricks in the Russian playbook is to build an ethnic group within their neighbours, as a way of annexing parts. Krimea for example was 'liberated' in 2014 from the yoke of Ukrainian oppression by Russian-ethnic groups, and 'spontaneously attached itself to Russia'. The 'rebels' all had uniforms, no insignias but SIGINT has analysed the names of the people talking over the radio and many were Russian army officers. Imagine Mexico organizing radio talkshows and political groups for Mexicans to liberate themselves from the Gringo oppression. They demand that the official language be Mexican. That Mexican history be thought in school. More and more the mexicans in California are unhappy. Until one day there is a 'rebellion'. And the Mexican state 'generously comes to the aid of their poor opressed brethern' Seen in that light, does the POV of GP make more sense?
