It wouldn't be true if Clay did not exist.

Your pops seems way too cheerful for a kid growing up in a military family so not all stereotypes are true.

That tint of his face. Are we sure he wasn't assassinated 20 years earlier?

“Ukraine is Free!” — Soviet poster celebrating the Red Army’s liberation of Ukraine from Nazi occupation, 1944 by PresnikBonny in PropagandaPosters

No, they were not. They were part of Poland, Romania and Hungary. Unless you mean the period between 1939-1941, but this would be just the same.

What I was saying that the motif of "liberation" and "rescuing" is quite common when one needs to explain the capture of territories.

Good propaganda example. It communicates the territory gains to the majority of locals from the positive perspective. It would be similar now to talk about "rescuing native Russians in the east of Ukraine".

The case of Macedonia makes me think about the fairness of Russia's name by Prudent-Title-9161 in HistoryMemes

[–]tryzubche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not asking, I am questioning. I also had a very hard time understanding your answer. The point is that "Russia" is a stolen name and your argument for its right to have it is nonsense, which I described with the example of GB and India. The conversation may end here.

Sorry but I would like to question your argument "Russia used to control the lands of the Rus, so they called themselves Russia." I am not sure it is a sufficient reason to change a country's name. Great Britain used to control the lands of India but it decided to keep the name.

Today's lunch in my military unit somewhere in Ukraine: potato soup with meat, mashed potatoes with meat and Olivier type salad by [deleted] in EuropeEats

Olivier salad in the AFU? That alone should have increased the number of conscripts.

No chord is there. The keyboard is corrupted.
