i agree – the russian people are not our enemy. this is a good thing. avoid insults to the Rus proper.

but anyone with a russian passport cannot be allowed to have anyone else’s passport. everyone in ossetia/abkhazia with one of these bogus documents should be sent home on it. third class.

others in the near abroad should be offered a chance to remedy any such inconsistencies. by renouncing russian citizenship (or abroadistan citizenship if they prefer), or by leaving, or whatever.

or of course we could issue a hundred million US or Chinese passports inside Russia. Or offer to. Maybe a mass mailing. Or, haha, email spam.

“Look – all you have to do to become Chinese is to open your mail! Wasn’t that easy? Just like your genius crime boss Putin did in Georgia! The Fourteenth Xinjiang Army will be along in six weeks to stamp your visas! Have a nice day!”
