expelling or opressing an ethnic minority is a page directly from Russian playbook. What would then be the difference between Russia and US (or other civilized nations).

Having said that, I agree that Russia should be broken into pieces. This will not only server Europe and various ethnicities well, it will also be good for Russia, maybe then they will concern themselves more with internal matters than imperial ambitions and insecurities about their country’s stature.
