Sad reality, from the pov of their neighbors, is that russian regime change wouldn't really change much on their side.

As much as it is incomprehensible for America, there are societies that do not value freedom from the very bottom to the very top - and Russia is one of them

>>... that russian regime change wouldn't really change much on their side. there is more to this. The power there is usurped by a group of KGB officers, and they control all the government and power branches, etc (including even russian orthodox church). Any hypothetical elected outsider as a president will be coerced into doing what they demand. Anyone non-compliant will be eliminated.
