I don’t know how you interpret that even from this post being here. lol what the fuck…? the OOP is just ridiculous and it’s being made fun of why do you see that as Ukraine being attacked?? Do you also not see the map of China in the image???

        Well, if kinda makes sense, wasn’t the first state leading to Russia the Kievan Rus?

          Sorta. The dynasty that formed and ruled the tsardom of Russia were from Kievan Rus heritage by way of Rurik.

          Muscovy was the polity that really formed the framework of the tsardom out of the princedoms left in the wake of the Khanates.

              Almost like context is super important. The Nazis annexing Czechoslovakia was negative. The allies annexing Germany was positive. Very very few actions have innate moral character. Like killing is bad but if the person you kill is Adolf Hitler it’s a good.

                Right, it’s bad when one country invades another out of nowhere, like for flimsy historical excuses to use their land.

                  That’s cool, how about when a country invades another to stop an ethnic cleansing campaign in it’s eighth year?

              Why be so evasive? It’s so much easier (and you yourself look so much less deranged and defensive) when you just say what you mean

          No offense but I assumed that was your analysis of this post. It’s not supposed to be ironic it’s just nafo-type bullshit
