Refresh my memory, but didn’t East Germany, while still a separate country, vote to join West Germany in a newly unified Germany???
One man’s law is another man’s crime, I guess.
Is the lawmaker also proposing to resume the old Soviet empire?
Belarus has adopted a new law that states the appearance of any foreign fighters on its territory will be viewed as an act of aggression, even if they cannot be identified as regular troops.
The legislation, which takes effect on Feb. 1, seems to be Minsk's response to Russia's actions in neighboring Ukraine, where unmarked Russian troops overran Crimea prior to its annexation last spring and where Russian fighters have led pro-Moscow-separatists in the east.
declaring don’t make it so
RE: Russia may declare 1990 reunification illegal (i.e. West/East Germany)
Hmmm... will they eventually declare the sale of Alaska illegal too?
I bet some Germans might be willing to agree, with as much money as they’ve pumped into the Eastern sector over the years.
“Mr. Putin, put back up this wall.”
Hmmm
I see German military equipment shipments to Ukraine in the near future.
It’s a “done deal” ... :-) ...

So they started with Ukraine and are figuring they can just go back and suck up all of their former empire?
If West Germany's annexation of East Germany can be declared illegal, maybe West Virginia's annexation of Berkeley Co. and Jefferson Co., Virginia, can be declared illegal.
The Virginia lawmakers in Richmond need to take note.
Even if it were purportedly “illegal” plaintiff no longer exists to press the matter. It’s no more “illegal” for the former East Germany to have reunified with West Germany than it is for Russia to be Russia again since the former USSR went defunct.
LOL ! Now it’s getting funny.
