Putte? Is this some language thing or an infantile baby name a la Putler?
The roots of the conflict lie in the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union
Putte is a Swedish name that is commonly used to talk down to a person, calling them small, it is similar to Putin, and I like insulting dickheads with imperial dreams.
As for the "illegal" dissolution of the Soviet Union, that is a different discussion and happened 22 years before the invasion of Crimea, and can't be used as an excuse for the invasion in any rational argument based in reality.
Oh, the irony
Pop quiz, what is the largest country in the world by geographical size?
So it's both, got it.
It's not an excuse, it's a cause. It causes regional instability that eventually results in a civil war in 2013 that escalates further in 2022
lmao are you arguing that the October Revolution was illegal
The Red Army stopped the Holocaust and saved the world from fascism while the western powers were playing with their dicks in Africa. They only invaded France after it became clear that Soviet victory was inevitable in order to prevent Western Europe from being liberated from capitalism.
you're thinking of the Munich Agreement mate
way to commit holocaust denial and fascism apologia in one go.
I don't smoke because it's bad for my lungs.
That said, I'll leave you with a quote from Thomas Mann,
you're sounding pretty totalitarian right now with how you're pretzel twisting words to try and fit your fascist agenda
You're wrong on two key points:
USSR and Nazi Germany only made a nonaggression act after other Western countries did because Western powers purposefully did not invite the USSR. It was a way to try to protect Czechslovakia and Poland since the Westerns were simply giving up Central Europe to the Nazis. You can read more about it here.
The famine in the USSR was not a genocide. That is Nazi propaganda. Read about it here.
The USSR entered Poland to protects its borders the day after every official fled and abandoned the country. There was no longer a Poland in any sense. The USSR is the one that liberated and reestablished Poland. How do you not know the basic facts of something you're talking about holy shit
