Really?

So, uhm...Vladee.

Tell me about the religious and historical significance of Siberia, cuz seems to me, Russia will have to cede it back to China in another generation or two and they will be taking by force if necessary.

"We are not going to get ourselves dragged into an expensive arms race, but will address our security … We have unorthodox ways for that. Nobody will gain a military edge over Russia.""

"Unorthodox ways"-- for example, Islamic Terrorists secretly controlled by the KGB/FSB. Criminal gangs. Subversion. Extremist Parties secretly under control by the FSB. Assassination. Bribes. A knife in the back, some radiation in your tea.

KGB Putin’s goal to restore the former Soviet Union. In 2005 he stated its “collapse” the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century”. More recently he said Stalin deserves to have statues in his honor.

Crimea never belonged to Russia until the reign of Catherine the Great.

Russia is to blame for both world wars. Russia's mobilization against Germany and Austria-Hungary transformed a local conflict between Austria and Serbia into a world war. Russia's pact with Hitler in August 1939 gave Hitler a free hand to conquer Poland, France, and several other countries. Russia continued to be Hitler's ally until Hitler invaded the USSR.

I just want the Sudetenland, that's all.

And oh yeah, the Polish corridor.

And Austria.

And half of France.

____________________________

The Kremlin’s Troll Army. Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters:

A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”
