In simple words, in colonialism a country invades another country
Ok, Russia has done that.
in the aim of taking its resources or exploiting and descriminating against its population
Ok, this has happened as well, unless you somehow think Russia… isn’t going to use the territory it has captured… not like Crimea is a super strategically important port location or anything … not like any agriculture or mining happens in eastern Ukraine…
…discrimination against the local population has been rampant with warcrimes galore against civillians, from remote arty/missile strikes to naval bombardment to executing civillians to kidnapping Ukranian children and sending them to ‘you are Russian now’ foster family placement programs…
but uh sure. no mass concentration camps. just mass graves and mass obliteration of civillian areas. that you’ll be shot if you try to flee westward from. so you better act like you’re russian now.
nope no forced cultural assimilation here, no sir.
what Russia has done is use military power to invade an area not controlled by it to change their ruling class
Ah, so you would support the US/Coalition invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan with that logic.
they want to make the population have a Russian citizenship and for the land to be under the map of Russia.
Yes that’s just general conquest.
A citizen of an eastern Oblast of Ukraine after Russia takes over will still be the same as he was earlier, just now with a Russian citizenship.
This was already the case, in large numbers, before the invasion.
Just like how people in Crimea were Ukrainian citizens before 2014, but after they became Russian citizens, and Crimea is treated as a part of Russia (although not recognized by a lot of countries).
Yes, just like when Rome conquered somewhere, they placed either literally their own, or friendly but subserservient local puppets at the top of the society, declared the whole territory part of Rome.
You are also leaving out the part when Russia has hassively encouraged settlement of Russian nationals into Crimea and other eastern Oblasts.
You know, kinda like with Israel and the West Bank.
Settlers. Moving into a colonized area. Area gained by force of arms.
Settler colonialism.
… you can do a settler colonialism either with or without enslaving or forcibly assimilating the mainstay local population.
In America, we just killed most of them. Did a bit of the kidnapping and forced culturalization of children too.
Well that certainly is a way to convince someone of something; insult them and then other them, and use that othering as the explanation why they just aren’t capable of understanding complicated concepts.
Why would I want to waste my time to convince you of anything? you have it hard coded in your headass that I’m ebil tankie troll you’re not going to listen to anything.

Yeah Russia is ok
go play with your balls I don’t care about arguing with you there’s no point you’re a westerner

Poka poka, spasibo za vstrechu.
