    People who fled are unlikely to come back, and they wouldn’t have fled if they actually wanted to fight. There obviously will be people who are resentful, but that was that the case in Germany after WW2 as well. My expectation is that majority of people who have a grudge will just flee to the west.

      Sure, but they will still be able to affect the situation, like gusanos in the USA.

        Gusanos are little more than a fig leaf for American imperialism. They don’t direct policy, they’re just there for the photo ops and op-eds as needed.

          They have a noticeable influence on elections and therefore are forever part of policy calculus.
