What are some of Russia's historical analogues or antecedants who were eased into mitigation?

Its all about the easing process of defanging them. Like gently but firmly removing the reins of power and helping the pesky ones go quietly into this sad night

That's an interesting choice of words. Feels pretty genocidy in my humble opinion

Mitigation, not necessarily destruction.

Side note: what is the civilized way to deal with genociders and might is right folks? Are they equalky valid and how do we balance their right to their opinions and raising the next generation of hate with avoiding further harm?

To my knowledge Russia isn't attempting to commit genocide. They want to have Ukraine under their thumb, not eradicated.

That is in no way a defence of Russia's actions. I just don't think we need to levy, what I believe to be a falsehood (I'm willing to accept I may be wrong here if anyone has evidence) at Russia to denounce them.

My comment about genocide was a jab at your Hitler-esque choice of words and comparing your view of Russian people to Hitler's view of Jewish people.

Eradication of Ukraine's language & identity, kidnapping children to raise them as Russian etc are all recognised types of genocide that they are actively doing on a daily basis. They don't so much want all Ukrainians to die as they want the very idea of Ukraine being anything other than yet another Russian oblast to cease to exist.

Now that you mention it, I do remember hearing about the kidnapping and conversion way back at the start of the invasion.

Thanks for the education, I don't think the things you brought up are reported widely enough
