Was Putin lying about the hundreds of years that both the Ukraine and Crimea were part of Russian and settled by Russians? Not one bit.
I have yet to do my research on Poland and World War II so I offer no argument there but, what I wrote above, is hard fact.
Again…why tell others to shut up? Sounds a bit totalitarian.
The Ukraine is anything but a sovereign country. It went from independence straight into becoming a proxy for United States empire. The Ukraine is an appendage that has lost its freedom, its democracy, its freedom of religion and half of its population.
Complete nonsense
Ukraine is a sovereign country, they can do what they want and make their own choices, and that ticks off you frustrated Putin cheerleaders to no end
Always enjoyable to see here on FR
** Year 3 of Putin’s “simple 1-month conquest” starts in just 2 weeks - now that’s an admission of failure!

It’s not helping Putin if Carlson approaches this like a Journalist. I agree with Sikorski. But I strongly think that it was good for Carlson to interview Putin. And now what Sikorski should do is meet with Carlson and spell out why Putin was wrong.
When I heard Putin blaming Poland for WW2 I just thought to myself “so that’s why Putin thinks it was ok to invade Ukraine in 2022 and his justifications for mass murder”.
Putins history lessons via Tucker are heavily slanted to the Fake Freakin Tsar point of view. Does puke Putin really believe this WW2 nonsense. Or is this his KGB propaganda. Probably both.
Liars begin to believe their own lies, when they tell them often enough.
Tucker got suckered into being Putins propaganda vehicle. Same as the Putin dupes- believers - Fanbois at Free Republic
Who knows the real facts about being invaded by Stalin and Hitler better that the Poles?
Putin’s lies about Poland are aimed at the dumb Russian people. To propagandize them. That Ukraine and Poland are always the real aggressors against Russia. He could care less what the outside world thinks. So score one for Bad Vlad here.
Putins history lessons are that Russia is always the blameless party.
Lying arse clown Vlad.
A center piece of Hitler's political popularity was his promise to re-claim all German territory lost after World War One.
Danzig was an independent and predominately German city on the Baltic Sea coast, surrounded by sovereign Polish territory.
Hitler demanded a neutral land link between Danzig and the German border, and Poland refused.
Poland and Russia had territorial disputes going back at least 600 years, so when Hitler agreed to let Russia occupy eastern Poland, World War 2 was on.
It is likely that Stalin's completely inept decision to attack Finland, immediately after seizing Poland, also convinced Hitler that Russia could be decisively beaten by the German Army.
Not sure what happened there, bad vetting or planned embarrassment, however if my memory serves me correctly Canada did not provide training grounds for German military prior to outbreak of WW2 and was not allied with nazi germany and joined them in the invasion of Poland
The similarities to the demands for parts of Czechoslovakia which “peace in our time” chamberlain gave to Hitler on grounds of German speaking peoples there, and hitlers demand for polish corridor sure seem eerily familiar to current events
Soviets did a pretty good job at killing Slavs, from executing 10s of thousands of polish officers, to starving millions of Ukrainians, then there are the Tatars and the millions of Latvians, Estonians, and Lithuanians who were disappeared, and again who started WW2 allied with nazi germany?
The giving of the watch taken from a Ukrainian to tucker sealed the deal both for Putin, and tucker accepting it
Actually yes he was, russi comes from western Ukrainian people, there are no maps showing the area of Moscow being called Russia or the people there called Russians till they declared it so, and the revisionist history went full blown in “Russia”. Muskovia among others is what it was called and their early cooperation with the golden hoard is what brought them wealth and power.
Propaganda for the American masses too, who haven't been taught Modern European History, (or even American history) for the last 50 years.
Keep up the good work, Dr. Franklin!
“Russian think” is an amazing blend of historical revisionism, misplaced dreams of grandeur (third Rome), superiority complex, and paranoia
I am quite sure putin believed everything he said
Kick in the door……
