They consider themselves a separate ethnicity,
Indeed.
He comes across as very bitter about NATO, the most effective and high-quality defensive alliance in the world. Of course it was set up due to the threat from r*SSia. Not that the threat is that great any more since they are being beaten by Ukraine, supported by training, equipment and intelligence which they have requested from their democratic allies.
Interesting that he assumes that individual politicians are making money from this; he should realise that the democratic west is not a kleptocracy like r*SSia and generally politicians do not steal public funds.
There are very dark and difficult times ahead for r*SSia as it spirals in a terminal decline. Even when Putler is removed from office, it's probably too late for them.
A three day 'special operation' that's dragged on for over a year, with r*SSia reduced to using 1950s tanks and buying sub-standard weapons from North Korea. They have lost 180,000 of their soldiers and are being humiliated daily on the battlefield.
And Bakhmut still hasn't fallen.
