Fate of Western Ukraine after the SMO

They probably will but they shouldn't.

I would say Putin should be getting to the point where his offer mirrors the Minsk agreements, except in reverse.

Ban Ukrainian language and culture from schools and government jobs, and allow fines for speaking Ukrainian in public.

The western most regions might get autonomy but Russian troops will man the borders with the EU and Belarus and Moldova.

Not all Ukrainians were fooled...

When the Bolsheviks created the Ukrainian SSR by stitching together heartland Ukraine with Malorussia and Novorussia they imposed the Ukr "mova" as the
official language. Even though this was not the language in the 2/3 of Ukraine that was stitched on. Bolshevik social engineering is the direct reason for
the current crisis.

I recall Ukr nazionalists in Kanada and elsewhere going on and on about how Kiev was "Russified" because nobody spoke the mova there. This is an example
of the perverse historical revisionism that they engage in where they attempt to steal Russian history and deny Russian existence inside their Bolshevik borders.
Of course nobody used the mova in Kiev. They would at the most use surzhyk which sounds 95% similar to Russian and it would be easy for the "Russification"
to be a natural choice of the indigenous population there. By contrast, these Bandera loving swine impose their mova by force.

Question - how would you go about denazifying/debanderizing Ukraine after the war? What steps should Russia undertake so that the banderite ideology never rises again?

By the way, about Chechenia, did you know that in October 2022 the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada voted to recognize the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria as "temporarily occupied" by Russia

So?

Just to show the amount of ridiculous statements made by the people that sent their countrymen to die

They say a ridiculous amount of stupid stuff. Reason why most of it isn't repeated in the west because it would really show the rest of the world what a clown show Ukraine is. That country was dead before this conflict. This conflict is just the final grasp of a dying nation.

They done this multiple times. Ended up just getting drone hit.

Ukraine doesn't have the men or equipment to do such a tactic.

Its impossible to fully control the human mind, you will never fully get rid of it but you can certainly nullify it.

I totally agree, but when you **** up a country like the west did to the Ukraine and the way the Ukrainians did to the Ukraine... essentially what the west and some Russians did to Russia during the 1990s then extreme views are much easier to encourage.... you got no job and no money and everything is a problem.... it is the Russians... they did it... if you get the Russians out of your country then the west can come in and build factories and massive farms where you can work and earn good US dollars instead of shitty Russian rubles... it is a very simple formula... you just need down trodden masses... an enemy to focus on to distract from the fact that you are their real enemy.

They did it in Europe before except instead of Russians it was Jews. But commies or Russians will do... next it will be Chinamen or those damn Indians again... repeat it often enough and they forget that Russians and jews in Ukraine are suffering being robbed by big western companies too and that China and India were never really a problem for anyone really... certainly no one in the west... except that the didn't do what they were told.

I would say the Russians know what they are doing and when they start fixing things and building stuff... something the EU and US never did... it was all take take take, which makes all the money they are throwing into war now amusing but they never learn do they?

Once order is created and rebuilding starts it will be pretty clear to everyone who the real enemy was... the most important thing is to get rid of the western press influence in the country and allow independent press to start up and start telling the truth and notify the people what has been done in their name... and the trials will help in that regard getting information out that has not been checked and approved by some CIA in the US embassy before being allowed to be posted.

reports from Russian TG channels say Ukraine is mirroring the Surovikin line in an attempt to stop further advances by the Russian army. How well would Russia perform against this kind of defense?

Their core problem is that if they were mobile then the Russians would nail them with air power and ground forces, but if they think that digging in will save them then they need to understand that 1.5 ton bombs using glide kits and Tulip and Malka guns are going to be devastating too.

A static target is easier to deal with than a mobile one if you have heavy enough bombs and guess what... those heavier bombs are now cleared for service with glide kits that allow using them from safer standoff ranges but also with a level of accuracy that will make them devastating.

And it is not like Syria.... Tu-22M3 and Su-34s wont need to fly very far to deliver the goods.
