I honestly have to wonder if that monster in Krmelj actually believes his own lies.
To be fair, he kind of has a point. I mean, imagine if a certain territory had stayed independent and then we spent seven years bombing it. People living there would eventually hit their breaking point, get fed up, grab some weapons, and ask their neighbors to fly in and help—and then boom, you have special forces on the ground. They could have, or maybe should have, settled things right away, much like how the U.S. handled its historical border conflicts.
If that area is mostly ethnic Russians, speaks Russian, and wants to be their own thing, then just let them be! You can always make sure both your economy and theirs stay stable or even thrive together.
But man, people can be so blind. They don't see that this isn't really about the land or the citizens; it’s either a showdown between massive clans and oligarchs or something even scarier lurking around the corner.
