Most people don't realize that Kyiv was populated 800 years before Moscow. In fact, Moscow only became a city because the Mongols invaded modern day Ukraine and forced people to flee. Kyiv became part of the Russian empire later but it was always a key city. Putin wants to recreate the old pre-Soviet Russian empire which is why he's so focused on annexing Eastern Ukraine and Kyiv. Other parts of the Soviet Union that were added after WWII are far less important to him. He wants the borders of the old Russian Empire and he subscribes to a nonsense theory that Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians are a common slavic people and Putin wants to create some sort of "united" Russian republic. That's why he's also concurrently pushing Belarus to deepen its ties.
Aww…look at the poor little baby have his nightly meltdown. Is it bottle time? Do you need to be burped? Maybe a little acid reflux?
You have ideas, but if you want to get serious about it let's go back to the Polish-Lithuanian Empire. Central European history is really fascinating.
That or he wants to finish securing the large gas fields discovered in Eastern and Western Ukraine -- Russia gained control of the large offshore fields by taking Crimea.
I’m not really having any meltdown. I’m just so sick of you guys, your two faced, cowardice, names calling, virtues signaling and mental illness. It’s because of you liberal turds that so many bad things are happening to America and to this world so I use the only language you human wastes can understand, inspired by the 13 Ukrainian border guards that told the Russian warships to go fukk themselves before they died. This world would be a much better place if you guys would vanish like a fart in the wind. Burp this.
So the male Karens is not a myth, you are proof that it does exit. Now, go and cry to Clutch again. Later Liberal loser. What makes you think I would want to hang around when liberals in here treat a Chinese spy better than an American conservative?
Yes, he was very popular. It isn't surprising that he won the last free and fair election in the Ukraine. He's pretty damn admirable.
I think you're all over the place, difficult to pigeonhole, and I mean that as a compliment. There's likely a bit of "liberal arsehole" in there, somewhere. I certainly possess some.
You are a plague on this forum who most likely will be banned. Your rhetoric is an embarrassment to proud anti-communist Vietnamese immigrants... pretty sure it's a fake persona. And if any foreign country ever invaded here, I would proudly take my guns and defend your fake internet self because we're a sovereign nation. But troll away while you can.
How you win it, and what you do with it, are apparently 2 things that certain supporters haven't figured out yet.
Thanks, man, I take that as a solid compliment, little left, little right, who knows? I don't know what I be either, I just be what I be.
