> mass genocide of Russia's undesirables by means of Forever War The war indeed has no clear endpoint, and claiming that ‘Russia is hurt, that is good’ is not a replacement for having a plan. One must consider casualties on the Ukrainian side, and they should not be in vain. This is how you end up with a debacle like Afghanistan. Re. Genocide I think it’s unhelpful to muddy the water. Russia is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state. It’s made up of ethnic and religious republics - for example Chechnya is Islamic. Some of these ethnic groups don’t like each other. Putin does not allow talk of ethnic cleansing or similar because it will open the door to internal conflict and would be the beginning of Russia falling apart. Look at the tone in the press for internal consumption, both in Russia and in the certain western supported Middle Eastern country. Use google translate, for example: https://www.vesti.ru/article/4029512 https://www.vesti.ru/article/4029512 And then compare it with the tone of this, written by a minister of national security: https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/1808031178277925263 https://x.com/itamarbengvir/status/1808031178277925263
