1/8. It’s time for some careful diplomacy by Europe/the West (& Japan) with individual #Oblasts, #Republics & #Krais in Russia. Explanation below:
2/8. Unless #Putin is overthrown, Russia is a mess financially & militarily & will be unable to support them anyway. With its latest actions & nuclear threats, Russia needs some pairing down, as it’s become a reckless, marauding danger to the entire planet & now’s the time.
3/8. Diplomacy would include lifting sanctions in these areas to encourage breakaway from Russian rule & future protection from Russia which will be much smaller and weaker.
4/8. Ideas for breakaways: The following would become European countries:

8/8. I’m not wedded to any particular areas (politically, mainland Arkhangelsk could be ready for a split too).
