- d0mine 7y agoLook at the context (Crimea, 2020). If we are choosing between ancient greeks and russians then the language/culture/identity of the people should matter.
- HenryBemis 7y agoThis is not about Ancient Greece/Rome/Russia/etc. My comment was: you cannot cherry pick which moment in History, a country's borders are convenient to you. I remember talking to a colleague from Poland that was proud that X centuries ago, Poland (or whatever the country/nation was called at the time had conquered big parts of then-Russia, even conquered Moscow. If we all think like that then a WW3 (Romans, Nazis, Mongols, etc.) is certain. Let's stick to the borders we got, and in the future let's rener them useless (e.g. European Union). I believe in a Star Trek society. Not "we kicked butts back then so let's get back those lands".
- d0mine 7y agoAccording to you, the East and West Germany shouldn't have merged to "stick to the borders we got"
