today i read an editorial in our local paper because i was bored and it was basically fearmongering about how putin is going to be stalin 2.0 and starve ukranians to death

[silvertone]

Stalin was good.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

holodomor 2.0 would be a small price to pay for ukraine's shameless betrayal of mother russia, and for those pig-dog western imperialists of all people

oh god please do

[Samus Aran]

what about the treaty of moscow in 1921 voiding that

[Kalahari Inkantation]

it really doesn't make a difference either way (unfortunately), as treaties made by the predecessors of russia and turkey are de facto null and void today

plus it's not like turkey would actually invoke that treaty even if it had the legal right to do so :'(

"They tell us that we are violating the norms of international law. First of all, it's good that they at least remember that international law exists," Putin said, pointing at what he called the U.S. trampling of international norms in wars in Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

By ethnic origin, 71.3% of population are Russians, 19.7% are Estonians, 2.7% are Ukrainians, 2.7% are Belarusians and 1.4% are Finns (as of January 1, 2009).

If Russians came to Estonia shots would definitely be fired. Estonia hates those bastards more than almost every other country in the world
