Tell me you never looked at the map without telling me anything.

> Most of these are small and weak, but with outside support, pieces of Russia might be destabilized

Ah, yes, when the Free World (tm) doing this it is the Right Thing (tm). It's only when whose untermenschen not from the Free World (tm) is doing exactly the same then it's totally not the Right Thing (tm).

Ye, it’s wired how advocating for/inciting civil war in a nuclear armed state is not questioned as

A) inhumane

B) violation of all proclaimed western values

C) mad dangerous
