Well, but....Russia invaded Ukraine.
Mirror-world. How did this mental malfunction leak into ours?
Bad Analogy in many respects.
Ghengis khan was novel, brilliant, and revolutionary at war.. He was innovative in his tactics and training. Truly brilliant in that respect, perhaps better collectively than Alexander. He probably wouldn’t have taken a year to conquer Ukraine.
Temujin used terror as a weapon, used it to gather allies and followers, and spared and learned from those who had skills. The Russians appear to rape, murder, and destroy indiscriminately, not really a good comparison.
Frankly, Temujin wouldn’t have cared about the poor average farmers, working people, on the battlefield, and neither do the Russians, so that is a similarity.
The passage of information, the actual videos, that wasn’t present in Temujin’s time. That impression, that you’re doing good and saving the world with the bloodshed you’re creating is an important weapon. Also, that the conflict you’re fighting justifies the damage at home, both personally and economically. Temujin would have had an answer. What is Putin’s?
More like when Hitler and Stalin sent their armies to invade Poland in 1939. Poland lost two million murdered to these thug dictators. Russia attacking Poland from the east, murdered all of the captured Polish prisoners of war including over 5 thousand of Polish officers slain in the Katin Forest, buried in a mass grave.
The Nazis attacking from the East terror bombed Warsaw and later set up death camps in Poland that murdered millions.
All this was justified according to the Putin toadies who say that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because like Hitler and Stalin, he felt that a small neighboring country was a threat that must be eliminated.
You are really trying to get extra credit points today, huh?
Russia started the war in 2014 when they launched a cowardly sneak attack against Ukraine.
Deal with it.
The Ukraine started this war with Russia in 1991 when they bailed as the Soviet State fell. That’s when a number of smaller “countries” literally seceded from the Russian control like the south did with the US in the early/mid 1860’s. The Russian civil war is just taking longer than ours did because it isn’t centralized near as much, the definition of a country versus a territory is based upon each’s opinion, and they are playing with bigger toys. Ukraine is just the richest of the Russian bolting countries and is first. Their will be more.
