Russia was founded by and named after Swedes.

I posted this on another thread; when Germany played Poland the announcer said “Germany continues its dominance over Poland”.

Well Poland has yet to beat Germany in 16 matches, so I don't see the big deal with that statement. At least he didn't mention the war.

*Gasp* Nationalism, oh the horror!

Wrong. Accually Russia was found by Normans aka Vikings.

Can you imagine the US running advertising showing Hiroshima before a US-Japan baseball game?==

In Poltava Swedes were invadors. And got bitten.

The Varangians were Swedes. Rurik and the Rus were from Sweden.

In any case they sure weren't Slavs, but Teutons.

Varangians? FYI Swedes appeared there lot later then Rurik and the Rus did.
If you call Sweddes Vikings then call yourself an “Indian” since it was Indians who populated America 1000 years ago but you live there today.

Why dont they care what the rest of the world thinks of them!!??

We must tell Russia to change things so the world will like them!!

Speaking of where people used to live. Dictator Stalin invaded and stole large portions of Finland during during 1939-1940 when Russia was teamed up with Nazi Germany.

It's time Russia returns that stolen land to Finland.

We will consider your proposal but only after United States showed us the good precendent and return “stolen” lands to Mexico:).
