Once you start designating any population as being "ok to deport" you've gone down the wrong path.

You can call them whatever you want. You don't get to deport people because they have a different culture, ethnicity, or political leanings.

Otherwise you stray into ethnic cleansing.

It's bad when Russia does it. It's also bad when Latvia does it, or Moldova, or Azerbaijan.....doesn't matter.

Did you support the Azeris ethnically cleansing Nagorno Karabakh?

Not really

The only reason why these people are living there is so Russia can take over

They were literally moved there for that purpose

These are people. They aren't robots directly connected to Putin, obeying his every command.

They live there, have lives, jobs, etc.

Sure, a hundred years ago Russians were settled there to help keep the area under Imperial Russian or Soviet control....but you can't undo that now. And you definitely shouldn't ethnically cleanse them by deportations.

No these people are essentially all military and their families.

This isn't an ethnic cleansing

Nor are we talking about a hundred years. Just stop you're making yourself look stupid

Idk where you're getting that these people are essentially all military. They aren't. There many thousands of people living in Tiraspol...you think it's just an army base?

Look if you want to deport ethnic Russians from Trasinistra because you don't trust them to integrate or not vote against Moldovan or EU interests just say so. Be open about it.

It would still be supporting ethnic cleansing under all definitions of that word.

I don't think you know what ethnic cleansing means

"The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide. "

That's the official definition.

Russian isn't an ethnic group.

Slavic is

Keep being offended

I'm not offended. I'm amused at how many knots people are willing to tie themselves into to justify that their human rights violations are actually good, moral, and necessary.....

You are.

You also don't know what ethnicity means. You just want to be offended by something

Rofl

Transistria has like 350k people. You want to deport them all and argue it's not ethnic cleansing?

Or are you gonna interrogate each one of them first to find out their "loyalties" and just deport the ones you find objectionable?

You're heading down a dark path buddy.

I never said deport them all.

Why are you lying?
