I bet every time Lithuania turns them down, Germany has to change its underwear.
No. It is not.The longest continuous history at 3,500 years
Do you consider overthrowing an elected President of Ukraine democracy?
Better get on the horn with these guys Joe! Set them straight!No. It is not.
It's different regimes, entirely differing territories.
You could open a book and read about it (and about how Western imperialists subjugated them in the 1800s) but you won't. You'll just regurgitate nonsense like they've been a "world power" that entire time.
Hell, Egypt and Rome have been around as long but we don't talk about them as world powers anymore...
No, but I would be okay with banning Russian athletes from entering the US. I don't think they should be allowed to compete in any international competition until they retreat from Ukraine. All of it.Aren't there some Russian hockey players HROT can kidnap and trade for our basketball player. F'n Russians.
Can you see a little turd when he rolls to the left?

From the beginning of the war the Russians have not placed an emphasis on recovering the bodies of their fallen soldiers. From the beginning the narrative was that they were incompetent, callous, or trying to hide the death toll. Could the real answer be so crass as the the Russians just can't afford to acknowledge the deaths?
Good grief...neither of which were in my posts.Civilization.
Not "world power"
Not "government"
Already pointed this out to you with Egypt and Rome. Neither of which seem to factor in to your attempted point.

"I like people who weren't captured"Very early in this thread, probably in the first 50 pages, I posted a tweet by Gen Hertling about his experience with a Russian general when he showed him a memorial in Germany for dead Russian soldiers from WWII. The memorial had been built or maintained by some high school kids, boy scouts maybe. I can't remember. Gen Hertling was shocked when the Russian general started cursing the dead soldiers as losers and if they had any worth they wouldn't have been killed.
These are also the same people, Russians, who killed their own wounded at a hospital in or near Bucha so they wouldn't have to operate on them.
