- Putin has relied on historical borders to argue that Ukraine is part of Russia, justifying the war.
- Mongolia’s former president shared a map of the Mongol Empire, which included parts of Russia.
- “After Putin’s talk. I found Mongolian historic map. Don’t worry. We are a peaceful and free nation,” he wrote.
The former president of Mongolia mocked Russian President Vladimir Putin over the weekend and his focus on history to try to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has frequently used historical borders to justify his brutal invasion, arguing that Russia has a claim over Ukraine even though Ukraine is an independent country.
In his interview with Tucker Carlson last week, Putin outlined centuries of Russian and European history to justify his invasion. Historians say much of the history he gave doesn’t stand up.
Tsakhia Elbegdorj, who was Mongolia’s president between 2009 and 2017, and was also its prime minister, poked fun at Putin’s argument on X.
Make Asia Mongolian Again
The Golden Hord will rise again
Just go take it back, Russia is so wrapped up in the western front they wouldn’t be able to mount any kind of defense until it was far too late to hold Siberia.
Greece is getting ready to expand too, and solving the Israel / Palestine issues at the same time
The Abbasids and the Umayyads put Alexander to shame.
Wouldn’t count on it – ask the Seleucids about the Maccabees some time, if you get the chance.
Yay! Go and kick some Mullah-ass!
This guy fucks.
Also, Russia was founded by Vikings, so I hope Norway is ready to invade.
Hey Portugal and Spain, according to the treaty of Tordesilhas together, Portugal and Spain had conquering rights for half the world. And the pope signed it…
And Romans… You had a great empire. So did the Mouros (Arabs) Etc…
Shitfuck nobody pull out a map of the US and its territories.
Don’t worry. We are a peaceful and free nation
…until someone messes with a Mongolian trade delegation.
I’ve been waiting for this. So glad they actually did it.
Wow, great flex! Isn’t there a 1 in 3 chance that the people in this region have at least some Mongolian in their lineage?
