This is perfectly put, thank you. I would only add that Russia's decolonial role is entirely opportunistic and not principled, and as such can't be fully relied upon. The oppressed people you mention will be wise to plan for a possibility that the wind blows some other way and Russia betrays them. Like how Russia could've finished off ISIS but didn't because Putin preferred getting cozy with Erdogan.
What a weird way to frame this, the US literally threatened Russia if Syria dared to touch Idlib, the head choppers stronghold.
I didn't know Idlib agreements were caused by US threats. But look at Russia now, fighting a full on proxy war with NATO anyway. Would it really have been much worse?
In hindsight, it was a blunder definitely.
Oh yes absolutely, that's an important precision thanks for adding it.
