ITT: People becoming the very same pocket shirt, horseshoe-pattern baldness Cold War boomers screaming red-faced about Russia that their parents and grandparents were. Sad!
Nah, some of us just simply were to Russia, or come from communities that have dealt with their imperialism since a century or two...
Right, tsarist feudal Russia, socialist Russia, and capitalist Russia are all the same states, because it’s just baked in to their nasty, mean orc nature.
You forgot Soviet Russia (as in pre-WW2). And the fact Putin actually reinforced his claims with some 400 year old territorial claim.
But from our perspective if the people oppressing us speak the same language, and have a capital in the same city over 200 years thats a sign something might be up with what they believe in under whatever facade stands there.
