Anschluss


Is history repeating itself?

In the case of Germany and Austria, the vote was allegedly over 99%.

It would seem that, under Putin, Russia is going from communism to fascism in a few short decades. The parallels are frightening.

However, history has taught us that it does indeed repeat itself - or rather humanity repeats previous mistakes.

Greetings to the (Red) Army when you are in Lettland. If Vlad keeps on marching he may very well turn his attention towards all the Russians who need the help of holy Rossija. Anywhere. The next logic move (if he plays this game) would be the Baltic Sea.

Exactly - the people Russian ethnics there are a large and vocal percentage.
