    Putin wants Ukranians to become Russians to the point of kidnapping Ukranian kids to give them to Russian families. That’s not at all how the very racist relate to those they see as lesser.

    Meanwhile Israeli soldiers will even snipe little palestinian kids, not just bomb them or starve them to death (which can be done without actually looking at their faces), but framing their faces on the scope of a rifle and shotting them on the head.

    Whilst I agree that Putin is also a racist even when it comes to Ukranians (and way much worse when it comes to non-Slavs) he’s nowhere as close to being as much of a racist as a large part (maybe most) of the Israeli society, especially their leadership and army.

      Yes, that is called ethnic genocide. If he can’t convert them, he will eliminate them. He has no qualms about that.

      At the same time, he is conscripting from ethnic minorities within domestic Russia above any other group first to be used as meat-grinders. Another action exemplifying clear genocidal intent.

      Make no mistake: Putin would have no problem eliminating any Ukrainian who doesn’t bow. See Bucha. See the Mariupol Theater. Talk to a Ukrainian.
