It has become a tool for US military hegemony. > Russia does not get to invade, rape and slaughter innocent civilians just because it wants to. Bogus bullshit. The idea that the Russian military see the rape and slaughter of innocent civilians as the way to get the cooperation and support of a population's which it sees as part of its Federation is nonsensical.
