and yet Russia still occupies it. If people are going to use history and justification then they should learn the history instead of cherry picking information.
Where did Stalin ship all the Germans off to when he forced them out of Kaliningrad?
They were shipped out to the same locations he shipped the Tatars off to.
Or are you going to argue those things never occurred?
By the way before Crimea was Russia it was settled by the Greeks and was a part of the Holy Roman Empire for almost 2k years. Russia and its invasion / annexation of Crimea didn't start until the 1780's.
Like I said, people need to know history if they are going to try using it as a justification.
By the way I see you are new to this site.. Welcome to ATS.

just thought you should know: fascism IS socialism
Uh...no it's not...
same thing. in fascism, the focus is on world struggle, with socialist governance. in marxism, the focus is on class struggle, with focus on socialist governance. the marxists realized class struggle in one nation would not solve class issues in other nations, so they went global, and there you have the wedding of fascism and marxism, both forms of socialism, and both bent on world domination, calling themselves with different names but using much the same strategies, and all of it propped up by capitalism. lol

So Putin reappears after ten days with a smile on his face, and refuses to make any statement as to where he was.
This sort of thing is jet fuel to the conspiracy theory fire.

As a matter of fact, Stalin DID kill a lot of Jews, and had he lived longer, might well have created his own version of the Holocaust. This is leaving aside for the moment the fact that he had already killed many more millions of his own people across the ideological and religious spectrum; I am merely saying that the Jews would probably have been the specific target of his next "purge". An acquaintance of mine once pitched a book idea to his publisher about this. The book would have been called Stalin's Holocaust. Fortunately for the Jews in the USSR, Comrade Stalin expired before he could put his own mass-murderous anti-semitism into action.

5. meanwhile in reality there is 1,100 mile long military convoy on it's way to Rumania, Norwegian, Canadian military making readiness combat test/review thingies
It's really too bad/sad that such attention and 'enthusiasm' cannot be focused on something 'real,'

Egad!
In order to prevent topic drift, we ask:
Is there empirical proof that Putin:
1. Is Putin
2. Is Alive
3. Is the bodyguard alive?
Thank you, Mr. SO. for then unique experiment.
We have all learned from this experience, we hope.
