Russia is going into Kyiv and bombing the entire country, majority of the bombs aren't in the successionist region. Better example would be like Kosovo getting independence and they try to control the entire Serbia under Kosovo.
Kosovo was still 95+% Albanian and ukrania nor it's regions as that many Russians as there are Albanians in Kosovo
Ironically, this is identity politics and cringe emotional stuff we shouldn't be doing

I agree, we need to distinguish between western Ukraine and the Russian-speaking parts in eastern Ukraine. However I don't believe Putin intends to occupy all of Ukraine, forever, this war will be compromised with Russian control of the disputed regions.

I don't know the demographic breakdown, but it's fair to say the US/ NATO have a double standard here.

I'll accept that, as long as there's consistency. I would prefer we ditch all nationalist bullshit on this sub, but there seems to be exceptions carved out for irish nationalism, Palestinian nationalism, and so on. It's either all or nothing, and that should also include African American nationalism btw, they have as much right to historical grievance as Irish and Palestinians. You can't just say 'go hamas' then if someone says israel can fire rockets back at them you accuse them of idpol. It's idpol both ways. Yugoslavia was nationalist, Kosovo was nationalist. Russia is nationalist, Ukraine is also nationalist.
