    The age of Western imperialism is largely over. The age of Russian imperialism soon may be over. The Global South needs to recognize these facts if it wants to be on the right side of history by helping Ukraine to decolonize, resisting Russian empire-building, and thereby constructing a more just world order.

      Lol. If someone wanted to help Ukraine decolonize you'd be giving up most of the country to kazakhstan and turkey, or you'd create a brand new tatarstan.

        Not necesarily. when darius the king invaded the place he took over several cities inhabited by the bodi which are proably protslavs. So even then the horse nomads (scythians in tgat case) were ruling over a much larger settled population. So while the iranians eventually got replaced by turks these remained a small demografic minority of overlords.
