    It was actually tweeted by ex-pres of Mongolia, thus making the burn more real. It’s not his first punch, and he’s still alive and laughing.

        Now we’ve both got to be careful here. If there’s no time limit, and we cascade ownership rights, the Italians could end up owning everything.

          Still better than the Fr*nch. BTW The Italians only owned all the land where wine could be made. Coincidence? I think not!

      There was that year of time when Poland controlled Moscow, the only nation to ever successfully capture the city. Unleash the husaria!

      It was Finnish/Karelian/Estonian/Veps (can’t remember which Finnic group specifically, but doesn’t matter much) under Sweden.

      So actually just let Finns remember Mannerheim.

    All of the land masses were once part of Gondwanaland. The bacteriophage are coming.

      That sounds like we just need to expand The United States of Humanity…

      Except not the current US. We need to fix it first

    Did he really say that?

    Didn’t Russia literally sign an agreement to PROTECT Ukraine when we took the nukes away?

      Yeah, in the Tucker Carlson interview. He spent the first 30 minutes going over his version of history and justifying his invasion. Basically, Ukraine made him invade them.

        He was establishing an irredentist land claim, like fascists do. “We used to own this so we can invade, but no one else is allowed to use that logic against us >:(”

    Vladivostok oblast was named either Northern Manchuria, or Upper Manchuria, less than 120 165 years ago…

    I think China may want their warm water port back

    Edit: apparently there were Chinese and Russian skirmishes during the Russia-Japanese War of 1910, but China actually ceded control of the area in 1860, so more like less than 165 years ago.

      China? I think you mean the Mongolian Empire.

      Afghanistan? Believe it or not, Mongolian Empire.

        That territory was taken from China by Russia in 1860. The Mongolian Empire had collapsed far before that happened. The Chinese in the region got forcibly relocated in the 1930s, but as of last year they still make up a significant ethnic minority of the region. The Mongols also make up a smaller ethnic minority in the region.

        If you’re going to go back to The Mongol Empire, then they controlled the vast majority of Asia and the Middle East, not to mention the sizeable chunk of Europe they controlled. I maintain that if The Mongols and The Vikings had ever united that combined empire would still be global. I’m unsure of that would have been better or worse for us in the current era

          I think you read too much into this…

          I was simply joking that the Mongolian Empire had controlled those regions at some point, and if we go by Russian and Chinese claims that historical ownership means modern ownership, Mongolia would have claim.

    The Kievan Rus was founded by Viking settlers, therefore by the Putin’s own logic he should cede all of Russia east of the Urals to Denmark, Sweden and Norway while he’s at it.
