The 1686 Treaty of Perpetual Peace and the Russia Ukraine War ​By Robert Korczynski Poland and Russia have been fighting over Kiev and the Ukraine for well over 500 years, and it is impossible to address the current Russian Ukraine War without acknowledging that Russia literally bought Kiev and all of the lands to the east, and that they still have the bill of sale and the deed to the land. ​ 882–1240: Kievan Rus' Prince Oleg establishes Kiev as the capital of the unified East Slavic state, Kievan Rus'. This is the foundation of the Russian historical claim. ​ 1240: Mongol Invasion The Mongol Empire sacks Kiev, effectively ending the central authority of Kievan Rus' and fracturing the region into separate principalities. ​ Early 1300s–1569: Grand Duchy of Lithuania Lithuania gradually incorporates Kiev and surrounding Ukrainian lands into its territory following the decline of Mongol influence. ​ 1480s–1500s: Muscovite Claims Begin Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow cl...

      On June 6th 2023 PMC Wagner leader Prigozhin talked about Russian tactical nuclear weapons being potentially used on a Russian border town that Ukrainians might be baited into taking, and threatened to take his troops north to Moscow in 2 weeks.      On June 17th 2023 Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the first tactical nukes were now in Belarus (he had announced that they would be placing them there earlier this year).      Then just a week later on June 24th 2023 PMC Wagner leader Prigozhin moved 2 columns towards Moscow as he had promised, but turned left at the first highway that led to Belarus, and under the cover story of going into exile in Belarus himself, sent the two columns to Belarus.

     On August 24th 1991 the Ukraine officially declared its independence from the Soviet Union. On December 3rd 1991 the Associated Press stopped referring to it as, "the Ukraine," and started referring to it as, "Ukraine." As in Russia is a country and Ukraine is a country. When the Associated Press called the area Ukraine, it was as if it was a fully separate country from Russia with no long and interconnected history. Traditionally the Ukraine was referred to as the Ukraine and is still referred to as the Ukraine in many places on the planet.      Christmas 1991 saw the complete dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the United States has had its heart set on stealing the Ukraine ever since the day the Soviet Union fell apart. A little over 22 years later the United States backed whichever government emerged after the Maidan Revolution as long as they wanted to join the West. Without any proof whatsoever I would assert that the United States may have agit...
