He is a leader for the russian people

russia first you might say

well, it’s a bit more complicated than that

Victor Emmanuel II was 5”2

there are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Putin

Russia is multi ethnic empire

Yes but it's clearly laid out that ethnic russians pull the shots

He literally walks like he is packing heat

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN a lot of people aren’t aware of this. Russians are nationalistic, but have a broader conception of “historic” Russia that includes some central Asian peoples

Like Finns? 😂

not that there aren’t full-on Russian WNs as well

@DixieBoy76 - KY *oof*

Russia is an interesting place

Only joking

Protect Suomi

Happa homeland

I mean we saw what happened when those troublesome caucas regions wanted independence.

I like Finland and Poland and don’t think Russia has any claim to them, for example

but then Ukraine is basically half eastern Poland and half western Russia

<:nervous:359009898115104770>

@nord yes, Russian forces took very heavy casualties in a brutal and pointless war, and then the government basically worked out a deal with them anyway

again, Russia is far from perfect

Ukraine is rightful Montanan clay

I always used to have a weird fascination with Finland

It seems so mysterious to me

Well yeah I'm not saying they were the greatest urban combat specialists, but the point is they fought a long conflict to keep them in russia.

I heard that Russians are very comfortable with race mixing

kadyrov is putins puppet at this point

but I think it might just apply to ethnicities that have a long history with Russia

Patton didn't like Russians as a people

And Poland doesn’t have any claim to Prussia either. @Jacob 🤨

why do you care unless you're planning to move back there?

they stole it fair and square

This will make you feel feels

that's a sad clip

yeah

the idea that land stays to one specific group forever is kinda dumb

It's also interesting to note that despite having a large amount of muslims in russia there is a relatively small amount of muslim terrorism outside of the caucuses. Likely because the russians will blow up a whole apartment block if they suspect there are some terrorists inside.
