The overlap between Kremlin and Russian mob is a flat circle. Dissidents get jailed. LGBTQ rights get trampled. Corrupt oligarchy. Open political assassinations. Scientists getting suicided. Polonium poisoning. Invading Ukraine. Funding Erdogan's army against ethnic populations. Extending the Presidency to a virtual lifetime appointment. Etc.
But somehow any mention of Russia gets poo poo'd and dismissed.
It's amazing that the Trumps and Bidens and Giulianis and Manaforts, etc. get linked to backroom deals, and everyone wants to point out the corruption, but not the partner on the other end.
Russia bad.
Nothing Ukraine did justifies an invasion. Fucking regional-national language status is not something you get to kill people over.
The most egregious Ukrainian nationalism came after Russia got involved, which should be expected and not retroactively used as justification

see invasion, also "their guy" or whatever-not really; but they are protecting him from justice-Yanukovych killed hundred+ people at Euromaidan, which did have right wing elements--it could even have been fully right wing--massacre-ing protestors is not cash money dude
if you wanna talk 1000 years there's plenty of grievances the Ukrainians get to bring up too. That's nationalism, nobody wins.
