My ukrainian-russian aunt told me "Russia has always beed getting invaded"

[kathisterima]

in the context of them seeking to turn EE into barrier states if not outright annexing them

please dont tell me ruschuds have generational trauma from hitler and napoleon... or it does it go back to the mongols?

crazy how one of the smartest people i know is brainwashed to believe this blatant nonsense and justify the unjustifiable with it
