These deported people would still be very dangerous for the states that deported them, perhaps even more so with grievances and a wrong that Russia could fix.

Putin's paranoia is that other states reason like him and understand him as well as he thinks he understands them. Putin would engage in genocide in their position hence Ukraine was a Nazi state.
- watwut 4y agoNot really. It does not matter what other states do as long ad it is not submission like from Belarus goverment. Ukraine invasion was not about Nazi and that talking point was abandoned long time ago. And it had zero to do with Russian speaking Ukrainians or Russian minority too.
- roundandround 4y agoI don't really follow you. He hasn't needed a pretext to invade Ukraine for a year now. If he used it a lot in the context of Ukraine it might be harder to recycle in another country. I tend to think that he fell for his own propaganda orders as they came back given his very visible symptoms of long term steroid use and dementia. But it doesn't really matter what he fools himself with and what he knows is a lie.
- watwut 4y agoHe did used that argument by the biggening of the war and stopped using it as it because apparent people generally do not believe it. That would be excuse. Putin and Russia recycle same excuses and points across countries all the time. It does not make it harder for them, they work around the same each time. I don't think there is much evidence of dementia or whatever. The rumors about Putin bad health are there constantly for years and none of them ended up confirmed.
