Europe, because being next to a giant (nuclear?) power vacuum is bad. I guess I have to think it would be less than enthusiastic, though, and there'd be a temptation to do the Morganthau plan even though it's a crime against humanity.

That said, there will be no conquering, because of that "nuclear" thing.

Considering the shit state of the country to start, a punitive action would probably be overkill anyway. I just hate seeing a single euro go to rebuild anything in Russia after the last few years of them destroying Ukraine.

Eh, try not to think of it as a collective sin. They have a shit government now and no history of having a government that's not an autocratic nightmare of some kind. People go along with it, but they would anywhere. Just look at the US now.

really, I do try, but holy hell is it hard with the ghouls we see in their populace absolutely celebrating the shitshow.

and, any first step to aiding russia has to include the end of putin.
