I was talking to a woman from Finland today. I asked her how the Finnish people feel about joining NATO. She said “relieved”.

There is evidence of, and probably is no US government plan for conquest (except perhaps the type of contingency plan like the US and Canada had for invasions of each other between WWI and WW2). Doesn't mean no one talks about such a thing, but people talk and it usually isn't very meaningful. Holding a conference doesn't equal any kind of concrete plan or intention, and "decolonize" isn't clearly internal to the Russian federation but could be talking about the parts of Georgia, Ukraine, and Moldova that are under Russian control. Of course even if that's their intention its rather ambitious, but it wouldn't be a call for conquest of Russia, and some online conference or webinar isn't very meaningful, even when a government website mentioned it. It wasn't government hosted it was a .com site, and the panel members also where not in the government. The panel members may have actually called for some break up of Russia, but without actually seeing the conference there isn't any way to know that. And the panel members were not people like Biden and Austin, or even some lower level Pentagon or State Department employee but Fatima Tlis, Circassian journalist Botakoz Kassymbekova, Lecturer, University of Basel Erica Marat, Associate Professor, College of International Security Affairs, National Defense University Hanna Hopko, Chair, Democracy in Action Conference; former Member of the Ukrainian Parliament Casey Michel, Author, American Kleptocracy Following links to other links I see the substack link with a map of a broken up Russia, but it doesn't connect that to even this conference let alone actual government policy. I could make up all sorts of odd maps and put them online somewhere.
