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...

WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP IN DEARBORN The foundation of the modern civilizational shield protecting national heritage and borders against the expansion of Islam was forged in the blood-soaked defense of Vienna during the summer of 1683. An Ottoman force of 140,000 had the city surrounded, and by early September the garrison under Count von Starhemberg was less than a week away from total collapse. On September 12, 1683, the tide of history turned when King Jan III Sobieski of Poland known as the Lion of Lechistan (Poland) arrived.

     Poland and Russia have a very long history of animosity towards each other that goes back at least 800 years, with both invading and taking over each other's countries at different points in the past. Russia most recently participated in the complete partitioning of Poland 231 years ago, and Poland disappearing from the maps for the next 123 years. Poland fought to get their country back, and at the start of World War 1 it finally reappeared on the maps, but then Russia (in the guise of the Soviet Union) ended up controlling Poland by the end of World War 2, and that lasted all the way through 1989.      As soon as Poland was free of the Soviet Union’s control they started forming alliances, they formed an association with the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, recognizing them as soon as they declared independence from the Soviet Union, before they were recognized by the rest of the international community.      In 1991 Pol...
