Ah we're going back before the concept of nation states, huh? That's a reach.
Well, in that case almost every country in the world needs to be re-partitioned and given back to indigenous populations, most of which are long since wiped out.
All to justify Russian invading Ukraine. What happened 2 years ago is the same as the carnal free-for-all that was pre-modern civil society. Well done, wasn't expecting that.
- jessaustin 8y agoWhen you're just typing rather than thinking, you'll be surprised by lots of logical objections to your babbling. The 19th and 20th centuries are the late-modern period, not the pre-modern period. Most of the Russian Empire was accumulated during this period if not before. It would not be reasonable to rule 19C American actions out of bounds while condemning 19C Russian actions.
- seppin 8y agoI never mentioned 19th century Russia. Invading to occupy, oppress, steal, and subjugate is 20th century Russia, no need to go back any further. As I said before, justifying Russia acting like a medieval power in 2018 by citing American expansion in 1850 is just stupid. It's whataboutism but not even logical.
- jessaustin 8y agoYou might have thought you were being clever by blurring the distinction between Crimea and certain European nations, but everyone in this thread has seen through this. Crimea was part of Russian Empire from 1783. That's a long time ago. You would have been fine if you just stopped with "Russia has invaded other nations". That's simply true. This "Russia invades more nations than USA" is obvious bullshit. Even the TV news admits that.
