- 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
Here’s the map:
The Mongolia Empire had way more land than this in its prime. In the late 1200, Mongolian Empire spans from Siberia to southeast Asia, and all the way to east Europe.
It is just Russia didn’t exists back then. 1471 is near the downfall of the Mongolian Empire and it is still huge.
Did Mongolia also not burn/sack Moscow several times for failure to pay taxes. Aka like Trump said he would be fine with Russia doing to NATO countries?
Moscow was a backwater town, not worth marking on a map.
Kiev however absolutely had it’s shit packed in by the Mongols.
Hey wait that looks like Ukraine
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.
If Mongolia is able to muster anything like the force they had when they invaded, it will hardly matter what Russia can mount
Then again, Genghis Khan didn’t have guns or tanks or planes.
If Russia keeps it up, they might not have those either.
“NYET LIKE THAT!”
—putin
They would just nuke Mongolia.
It would develop a leak and fall on Moscow.
They would just nuke Mongolia.
Given how much Russian nuclear maintenance has gone into hookers and vodka over the last forty years, it’s literally anyone’s odds as to whether that shit even leaves the pad before it detonates, if it detonates at all.
All Putin can do is turn the key, aim for Mongolia, and hope it’s not the loss of an entire local region.
And that’s before NATO starts raining down holy hell on him because he just triggered MAD, lol.
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.
Sure but Alexander the pretty allright also conquered his territory’s over a thousand years earlier. The Umayyads and Abbasids were doing it in a far more developed world.
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.
The BS of historical borders should be brought up more.
angry Israeli noises
The term Judea was revived by the Israeli government in the 20th century, as part of the Israeli administrative district name “Judea and Samaria Area” for the territory that is generally referred to as the West Bank
Also, Russia was founded by Vikings, so I hope Norway is ready to invade.
Probably Sweden
The whole area was a group of different kingdoms, but Norway and Sweden united under one kingdom in the 11th century, so take your pick.
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.
I’ve been waiting for this. So glad they actually did it.
Good joke, but it’s bold on him to poke fun at one of the only two neighbors Mongolia has, while the other dreams of invading it.
Don’t worry. We are a peaceful and free nation
…until someone messes with a Mongolian trade delegation.
I would like to see this map.
Fucking gotem
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?
