  36.  @ommsterlitz1805  Germany doesn't even want to get it back because there only a very small ethnic German minority left there anyway. Splitting it up to both Poland and Lithuania (there was a time where both were one united country BTW, and it was quite large, also including parts of today's Ukraine) would make more sense than trying to make it German again. BTW speaking of ethnics, More than 60% of the "Russians" populating the Kuril Islands are ethnic Ukrainians... how about giving that to Ukraine instead? XD Most interestingly though, Sakhalin has a period in history beginning in 1855 where it belonged to both Russia and Japan at the same time - without a clearly defined border separating it. The shared sovereignty lasted until 1875. Every region discussed is vital to Russia's geopolitical and geostrategic plans BTW. Crimea because of the Black Sea Fleet, full control of the Black Sea because that means control over the "New Silk Road" and therefor the massive trade between the EU and China, Karelia because of the strategic forces (nuclear stuff, long range bombers etc) being based on and around the Kola peninsula, Sakhalin and the Kurils because of having unrestricted access to the Pacific (as a counterweight to the US Island Chain strategy; the same reason why China wants to have Taiwan back) and Kaliningrad being a massive military base essentially for deterrence (they could nuke Berlin, Paris and London without requiring ICBMs from there), but also being able to have a ton of troops "behind enemy lines" already in case a hot war would kick off. You see, it's always complicated. Which is why I typically love to drop memes like "TeH zUcK, Ambassador of the Ancestral Reptiloids, heir to the Dinosaurs, wants his planet back" into such discussions :)

  96. Absolutely agree, and the cherry that sits on the icing of the cake is the fact that they speak of "denazification"... of course there's also differences, but the parallels are just baffling. It's like the saying goes, "if you point your finger at someone, there's three fingers pointing back at yourself", in other words, if there's a country that needs "denazification", it'd actually be Russia with their chekist gov't and the heavy NOD (those are the Ribbon of Saint George coloured Z and V guys) influence on them. There's a term describing it, it's called "rashism" (Raschismus) or "ruscism", formed out of Russia and fascism. I guess the main difference is that the Nazis were getting into power by brute presence of force (SA) prior to getting elected during the 20s while Putin was nominated by Yeltsin and elected by the people and slowly, but gradually changed the system more and more into an authoritarian state over a long period of time in which he got lots of trust from the people and also returned the military and the past with the victory over Nazi Germany to the civil presence (by returning the "good old" Alexandrov hymn with new lyrics, reestablishing the military paraded on the Red Square and even having children being taught early in life how important their victory over the Nazis is) within the first phase (1999/2000 - 2008), then trying to stabilize himself against any potential political opposition with the help of the FSB and police (2008 - 2014 and on) and trying to - as the party's name points out - reunite the Russia that the flag represents, consisting of Russia (red), Ukraine (blue) and Belarus (white), at first with as little military effort as needed, and as of recently increasing pressure a lot to get it done finally (2014 - now, ongoing). And we all have heard that he'd prefer to have NATO borders back to pre-1997 state, which basically means as during the cold war, only with the two Germanys united. Also, one major difference, of course is that he doesn't blame the Jews for all the bad things happening to Russia. In other words, he basically could be compared to any dictator in history in some way, and certainly be compared to Stalin as well who wasn't the nicest leader on the planet either. Long story short, any leader with such an imperialistic, expansive and power hungry world view isn't healthy at all for all the parties involved, that are the country that he is leading itself, the neighbours that are basically at stake and 3rd party countries that are affected globally by the economic unrest, which mainly are 3rd world countries that heavily rely on food supply, in this very case from Ukraine, who made up around 30% of the worldwide wheat exports. The things that are going on right now are affecting everyone on the entire planet, more or less. And Putin knows that, he literally plays that card.
