      They are attempting to do the same thing, to erase the national identity of the people living there and conquer the place.

      Even the settlement thing matches, the Soviets used to move Russians into all the republics to erase national boundaries and make them all uniformly Russian.

        Settler Colonialism means murdering the civilians and then stealing their land and house. Not trying to force your own culture upon civilians.

        Examples are America, Australia, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, etc.

          Yes, exactly like what Russia is doing to Ukraine, too.

            Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. We’re not talking about off-cases but national policy.

            Or do you believe that Russia wants to expell all Ukrainians from Ukraine?

              If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.

              If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.

              Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they’re doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.

                  Are you being held against your will?

                  Do you need help?

                  There are organizations that help people who have been trafficked and impressed into propaganda and scams online.

                  Feel free to reach out if you have been.

      Feel free to check with different sources if you want, but yes they ARE trying to colonize Ukraine.

        I suggest looking up the difference between conquering and colonizing. Russia is trying to annex Ukraine into Russia, not make it a client state.

        And then look up what settler colonialism is. Because if it was that, then those Ukrainians wouldn’t be in occupied territory anymore.

          How about you finish that sentence first a change?

          Russia is trying to annex Ukraine into Russia-

          … against the will of Ukraine.

          Which means…….?
