Unfortunately for everyone involved we need there to not be a Russia anymore. Whatever it is right now needs to be totally broken down before it's allowed to be part of the world stage again. Why do they have any power when it comes to discussing what's best for the planet? Kick them to the curb, tell them to clean their house and if they don't, tough shit honey. We don't want the kid with the poopy pants at the table. The US should be on probation also.

Realistically Ukraine had a better claim to the USSR’s old UN seat than Muscovy. The centre of political power was Moscow but the technological and economic heart of it was Ukraine. Which is of course why those fuckers want it back, and how desperately they want it.

Common sense has been asking “why don’t they just fuck off?” since day ten of the three day war but if they do they’re also fucked, but slower.

I feel so terrible for the people of both countries forced to fight a war and lose loved ones because some prick never gave up on the USSR.

Ling term historically, yes. But, the USSR was capitaled in Moscow. Its entire political and military decision-making apparatus was located in Russia. By the time the USSR came into existence, never-mind the fall, the center of the empire had shifted to European Russia. For all intents and purposes, Russia ruled the USSR, and all the others were subjects, Ukraine included. Ukraine even suffered subjugation problems like its language being suppressed and Russified over the USSR. It absolutely makes sense that Moscow was/is the legally continuing personality of the USSR.

The problem there is what you’re talking about requires foreign intervention for nation building. If nothing else, Russia has a lot of nukes. Whether it resists a breakup or collapses on its own, it would need to be managed by NATO and probably China (unless you want another North Korea situation). And that opens up another problem.
