“ I’m sorry. I forgot about the Mongolian lands.”

Jeez, you REALLY need to brush up on a lot more than physical geography. Ethnic Russians and Ukrainians make up the majority of Russia’s Far Eastern population.
There are good arguments that WWI was inevitable.
Germany had gone off and made an enemy of Britain, for no good reason. Germany likewise had abandoned its Russian alliance. And the overall extremely rapid rate of technological and economic development permitted most nations to raise and maintain vast armies. All itching to be used.
You forgot the /sarc.
Some people may think you are serious.
Putin's Annexation Has Just DESROYED The Liberal World Order!!!
There’s a lot more happening than Ukraine -September 24, 2022.
I forgot. That’s where Stalin sent his enemies he didn’t kill. You’re right.
Conservative parties will rout the leftists in Italy’s elections this weekend.

Critic: “Russia is trying to reconstitute the USSR!”
EU: “I thought WE were doing that?”
NATO: “No, it’s us!
WEF: “Ahem...”
I suspect some back door dealings are happening from International leaders.....and efforts, yet again, to get Zelensky to come to the negotiating table. This is the only way to stop this conflict.
Very funny. And smart.
Has anyone else noticed that Putin went from “exceedingly smart and the dangerous man in the world” to “the guy is a complete idiot” in what, six months. I personally, do NOT think he’s an idiot.
I once had a summer intern who was a mestiza Russian-and some Siberian tribe, I want to say Yakut, but I no longer recall. She was a Java programmer. Anyway, she said everyone over there in Vladivostok region were all mixed-race.
Putin made a very bad mistake.
And I think he should have retired 10 years ago or more. He would have left in glory. He could have been an international elder statesman, been a regular in Davos, and kept his fortune in London and Zurich.
Ya gotta know when to go. He didnt.
They also said Russia was all in fleeing in desperation in their longjohns from Kharkiv on stolen tricycles
Now they tell us Russia is incorporating the breakaways in order to move full weight into the war
They say whatever they need to or envision
Only time I’ve seen them truthful is
Russian column did leave outskirts of Kiev after parking there
Russians did retreat from Kharkiv
The rest is almost all at the least heavily embellished
It’s good enough for western media fans here
Little Pukin waited too long to declare a mobilization.
RuZZian armor losses means those boys from Moscow and St. Petersburg will be riding in the back of a pickup. Or lada.
I hear Ukraine is mighty cold in the winter. Them RuZZian boys better bring parkas for the trenches.
Patrushev doesn’t want mobilization. He continues to warn Putin it will destabilize the mobilized regions in western Russia.
They left us with a vast collection of photos and videos of destroyed and captured equipment. From which we can draw conclusions.
Btw, there is drone video of the withrawing column from Izyum, on the approaches to a pontoon bridge over the Oskol. It was all trucks, without heavy military equipment.
I suspect there was a deal to permit a withrawal from Izyum, a promise to leave a free route out on the condition to leave heavy weapons behind.
NATO spy planes over Black Sea, Poland, Romania, Baltics all flying transponders off for the first time since Feb 24.
