Historical errors?
Didn’t Russia take the eastern third of Poland at the end of WWII?
Are they panning on giving that back?
Invading and partitioning sovereign countries will bring peace in our time!
Or something
Sarah might be able in a few years to see China from her front porch. Who'll be laughing then?
Just a trial balloon!
Putin doesn't listen to advisors on his master plan, but he might listen to advisors on international PR.
“Didn’t Russia take the eastern third of Poland at the end of WWII?”
Much of what used to be called “Eastern Poland” now belongs to Lithuania and Belarus.
Why would an adviser say anything contrary to Putin’s agenda?
Let’s eschew the ‘Rat Cities and form a more perfect union.
Putin told an adviser to release a statement because he knew Obama was in Europe and he wanted to see if Obama would go all wobbly.
Don’t forget “Kaliningrad” - still in Russian hands.
For those engaged in prophetic parsing of Ezekiel 38, events to the North of Israel are taking on some very interesting turns.
After the break-up of the old Soviet Union, we had to rethink everything, relegating this invasion to the ‘Stans’ - former Muslim Soviet Bloc countries such as Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan etc.
Now, we need to go back to 19th century thinking, which placed the ‘invader’ squarely on Russia.
Prophecy Geeks - Chime in...
The fools FDR and Churchill, advised by the likes of Alger Hiss in Yalta, handed to Stalin big chunks of historical Poland, Romania and Hungary, which he then called the Ukrainian Republic. What is the proper Ukraine? I don’t know, but today’s Ukraine is the luckiest post-WWII land when it comes to its borders, Why, they’ve go a piece of Russia too!.
Obama can’t get any wobblier without dressing in drag.
Putin will really not like that.
Not being put next to gay biker, gay army guy, gay indian, gay motorcycle cop, gay cowboy, and gay construction worker.
And Ukraine, including Lvov.
The article title is misleading. What is being proposed is undoing the Nazi-Soviet lines and returning parts of Ukraine to Hungary, Poland and Romania, the parts that were taken from them.
The article title suggests the proposal is to reinstate the Nazi-Soviet lines when, in fact, those lines are now more or less essentially the borders. The proposal would undo the Nazi-Soviet lines.
Just let Vlady declared himself Tsar of all Russia get over it LOL!
The borders of Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Germany, etc. have fluctuated back and forth with the fortunes of war for most of a thousand years.
It is just a little odd to proclaim, or assume, that the boundaries established by fiat in the 40s and 50s of the last century are henceforth always and eternally legitimate.
The question of what should constitute a legitimate boundary is a really good one. Perhaps it could be discussed.
