Has the oldest city in Russian history
This is like saying -- we just have to accept that England belongs to Italy because after all London was once known as Londinium and was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire.
- riehwvfbk 2y agoI wasn't aware that London belonged to the Romans in the 1950s. I also wasn't aware of any places named Kyivtown, Crimealand, or San Donetsko, and yet the US seems to have a claim to these places.
- racional 2y agoAlgeria belonged to the French in the 1950s. Does that mean it's still theirs essentially, and they're welcome to move back in any time they want to?
- riehwvfbk 2y agoHey, Turkey bit off a chunk of Cyprus as late as 1974, and they are US allies. The US itself has presided over redrawing the borders in Serbia in the 90s (and somehow in that case the justification of "an ethnic minority wants a chunk of land" was totally legit).
- racional 2y agoSo it's basically just a "but US hypocrisy" argument that has you cheering for Russia's blatant aggression, then.
