depends on which direction you invade from -- all invasions from the East into the Rus lands have succeeded -- from the Scythians/Sarmatians to the Huns to the Kazars, to the Bulgars to the Mongols

Actually even that's not correct, the Poles conquered Moscow in the 1600s and in the 11th century had conquered Kiev (head of the Rus cities)

I never knew that about the Poles! But I have to say your other examples are all rather antique.

When I’m finally prepared to take over the world I’m going to reach out for you to aid my quest.

I’d probably be a pretty bad dictator though, I have very little interest in what other people do.

I just don’t have that ambition to monitor soda intake, find out if a person wears glasses, determine what is “fair”; I’m just very apathetic, I lack the competitive spirit.
