A version of history recognized by literally no one. If Kievan Rus is the earliest State, the sovereignty over the entirety of Kievan Rus territory lies with the eventual Tsardom of Russia, hence Russian Empire, at least the "Russian" part of the empire, and of course Russia.
The capital of Kievan Rus moved from Novgorod to Kiev, such as the move of the ruling family, the Rurik Dynasty and then after Kievan Rus fell, the ruling family moved again to Moscow and their kingdom remains there till today.
Rus does means Russia, or Russia is the most powerful and the most legitimate successor to the Rus name. Deal with it, this is recognized history by over 80% of global population.
Lithuanian did not liberate the Rus land, Lithuanian took over and conquered it for a period of time, in case you don't know, the Polish and Lithuania Commonwealth is of course another war waging kingdom that took territories by force. And that part was purchased back by the Russian "Empire", buying back their own rightful territory.

I think 2000 years of failure in invading Vietnam probably taught them a lesson. The same goes with Korea.
Taiwan doesn't belong to China because it used to belong to China. Taiwan belongs to China because it has always belong to China and the Chinese people. Overwhelming, extreme majority of history, it belongs to the Chinese people, aka tha Han race, speaking Mandarin, celebrate Chinese Festivals and customs. They are the same people separated by a civil war of ideology, they're not 2 separate set of people.
Come on, man, go learn some math. That island has and always will be part of China. On Taiwan itself, there are 2 set of opinions, one wants independence, but the other one, a significant one, maybe even the majority wants to rejoin China mainland.
Why don't you show some respect?

@bigmitchtv3922 Yeah, not really, buddy. Modern civilization of the overwhelming majority of the world has absolutely nothing to do with Greek or Rome.
Because the overwhelming majority of the world, most specifically India and China have their own history and their own system of politics.
Now that might hurt your feelings, but that's the truth, especially the Chinese, if there was a fight, both on land and at sea, the Chinese Empire would have destroyed the Romans. The population size difference is gigantic, even in ancient times.
Roman Empire is one single place conquering and forcing others into servitude, while China really is one cohesive unity, at least in national identity.

@Bob First of all, IQ data in the US is not how it works. The test is not normalized at all, especially the language test. Because by simple math, a person speaking 2 language divide their brain into 2 section, each account for a different language, therefore the proficiency will be less than a person only knowing one kind of language well. Chinese American speaking 2 languages will have a harder time speaking English because Chinese or Mandarin is infinitely more complex, more complex language equals more work.
IQ tests are really bad inaccurate research.
Is there a difference between genetics, yes. Even within the same race, every individual is different. But they're all roughly equal if you account for the same environmental factor.
The top 1% of the smartest Caucasian has nothing over the top 1% of the smartest Asians or the top 1% of the smartest African.
Throughout the courses of history, the development frontier of science varies all around the world because each area over the globe develop at different rates. Sometimes the Egyptians were the smartest, sometimes it's the Indian, sometimes it's the Chinese, sometimes it's the British, sometimes it's the German, sometimes it's the Jewish people, sometimesit's the American. The IQ level and result afterwards based greatly on environmental factors, pal. Keep it real.

@biswaroopmaiti2943 South China Sea is not a territory with people living there, it's an area of water, and honestly, the ownership of that area of water can not be based on historical precedence, if there were lots of people living there, the story would be different.
Regarding your argument about "same people", you're totally false.
Korean Peninsula is one people, they're one people divided, not 2 set of people, everybody there knows this. Their goal is reuinification, it's just that they can't right now.
You'll need better details for the Central Asia.
Israel and Palestine is the same, they are one set of people living on that piece of land, peacefully, one piece of land having multiple religion co-existing. It's the outside interference of Western Superpowers, originally British and then America that messed up the entire place.
I never said that being the same people stop conflict, because countless factors contribute, but it is an unequivocal right for them to be reunified. Honestly most of the things you said are messed up not because of the people there, but by foreign interferences, from British colonization to Cold War between superpowers. So again, if you just stop interfering, they'll move towards the same objective.

Look, the books, that specific book in that chapter is wrong, because they failed to acknowledge in the contaminated pool of applicants.
If you lock a genius up in the mountains, no education, no exposure, he or she will score insanely low on those IQ tests.
You have certain degree of education, it is equivalent to a certain minimum score. You re-examine the data today and the Chinese will crush the US pool of applicants. Not because the Chinese are inherently better at anything, but because they went through a far rigorous educational system.
There is always difference among groups of people, but that's overwhelmingly due to differences in environmental factor.
The top 1% of the smartest Caucasian, Asian, African are roughly equally smart with negligble differences.

When you stop building infrastructure for 40-50 years, your technology lag behind, homie. The fact that the newly built houses are still made of wood showcase America inferiority in technology.
Furtuhermore, I don't know where you get the nonsense of latrines and no running water, if that's the case then it's an extremely small percentage of the total population there. Because like you said, in the newly built cities, the infrastructure are so advanced that there are no latrines. Their schools and hospitals are not built with cheap material, I don't know what propaganda source you're quoting from, but their schools and hospitals are built using normal steel and concrete, far cheaper than in the US because they make those materials themselves with government subsidies.
It is you who have a lot of misinformed opinions, a lack of understanding in mathematics and physics. Please, stop living in the 1970s, get back to reality.
