    Why are they including their invasion of Ukraine, Napoleon’s Russian invasion AND the period of Mongol dominance over the Rus? Is Putin claiming the Mongolian conquest of Kievan Rus as a military accomplishment of Russia?

      It’s all “the West is coming for us” messaging with the dates they picked, they don’t care about the details.

        “the West is coming for us” … they don’t care about the details.

        Surely they at least care about the correct direction.

        East =/= West.

          The great horde were allied with Lithuania when they lost in 1480.

          idk I don’t disagree, their messaging is as shit as everything else that comes from them as of late

          My understanding is that it all loops back around anyway
