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.

ex-pres of Mongolia

Rly? Ha!

Brits: Wait, we can do that?

France: letting the brits form their own monarchy was a mistake, let's remedy that

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.

But the Goths and the Vikings?

Wolf clan owns the whole valley, from the bad taste water with big fish to the good taste water with little fish.

[–] maynarkh@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

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

Well before Mongols it was Kyiv Rus. So, moskovits should belong to Kyiv.

Saint Petersburg sits on what was once Swedish territory. Prepare the Saab jets

[–] Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If only those Belarusian mercenaries had tried harder.

France captured Moscow (in a pyrrhic victory...) in the Napoleonic wars.

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

Yeah and so much of the world was once part of the British empire. Get fucked.

Once upon a time, it was all Garden of Eden. Prepare for the ultimate global holy war.

Did he really say that?

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

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, just like how a women is dressed makes men want to rape them /s

Return to enlightened 1444, embrace big Lithuania and Germany in a 100 pieces of border gore.

That mentally unstable asshole Putin was part of his father's balls. Stuff him back in.

Next they'll say the price they got for Alaska was unfair.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They already did. Months ago, like November

https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4434869-russia-casts-its-eye-on-alaska/

Ok, so it was January

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

One could say it was, but just like with French Louisiana, it was more of a way of unloading claimed territory to a friendly emerging country which would make some use of it. It wasn't that developed and didn't have many perspectives.

Eh, guess French Louisiana is more massive. But the point stands.

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.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

China? I think you mean the Mongolian Empire.

Afghanistan? Believe it or not, Mongolian Empire.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Russia did the same to my family a little over 100 years ago.

[–] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

Will the armies charge in while blasting The HU? That'd be metal.

[–] Pantoffel@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just waiting for some politician in Germany to justify a 3rd world war instigated by Germany. For a short period of time much of Europe was ours!

All hail the holy Roman emperor!

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Guess we humans don't own any land since the dinosaurs settled here looooong before us.

Inb4 tankies explain why russian imperialism is a good thing while also calling for nuclear genocide.

[–] ParabolicMotion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

And yet Putin has expressed his desire to take some states of the United States, and claim them as property of Russia. How does he justify that? Oh, he wants California? Well, it belongs to America. Before that, the Spanish built their missions upon the Southern parts of it, while Sutter had the North, and before that the native Americans had PARTS of it. Does he want Death Valley in the middle of summer. He’ll have to fight rattlesnakes for it.

Kiev was founded countless generations before Moscow.
