Russia makes implied threat against Germany in order to justify Russia's illegal occupation and annexation of the Crimea.

Is the Russian people willing to let Putin kill off their Sons ?

Does this mean they’re giving Konigsberg back?

Pravda must be slipping on the job, giving the Politburo 25 year old news.

[McGruff]

So Pravda is a reliable source now?

"...Russia's illegal occupation and annexation of the Crimea."

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union. He’s starting with small steps. By using anonymous troops he conquered Crimea before anyone knew what was happening (and many are still confused). Retaking East Germany will be impossible to deny, so he’s pre announcing it.

To a point, Putin is correct, there never was a popular vote on reunification. It was done by treaty, with the legislatures voting on it, and with East Germany on the verge of a total economic collapse.

That said, it was almost 25 yrs ago, and has long been a “fait accompli”.

[sparklite2]

I don’t see an implied threat so much as justifying Crimean annexation by citing west German annexation of east Germany.

I think Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine need to re-establish the Lithuania-Polish Commonwealth. Added up, they would be about 65 million population. With a freedom, limited government, and compulsory military service, they should be able to quickly become regionally powerful, I would think.

These people are waste of time.
