    They are attempting to do the same thing, to erase the national identity of the people living there and conquer the place.

    Even the settlement thing matches, the Soviets used to move Russians into all the republics to erase national boundaries and make them all uniformly Russian.

      Settler Colonialism means murdering the civilians and then stealing their land and house. Not trying to force your own culture upon civilians.

      Examples are America, Australia, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, etc.

        Yes, exactly like what Russia is doing to Ukraine, too.

          Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. We’re not talking about off-cases but national policy.

          Or do you believe that Russia wants to expell all Ukrainians from Ukraine?

            If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.

            If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.

            Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they’re doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.
