Submission Statement: US Congressman Mike Turner and Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis argue that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine fits with a long pattern of Russian imperialism throughout history, and the West wrongly assumed after the Cold War that Russia had undergone a fundamental change when in fact it maintained the same ambitions, as demonstrated today by its brutality in Ukraine that recalls previous atrocities in the Balkans, much to the lack of surprise of countries like Lithuania that experienced Soviet oppression.

Its quite amusing when western institutions take a moral high ground and draw “conclusions” from cherry picked moments from somebodys history.
Taking a moral high ground and acting innocent during global conflicts while stirring them up and escalating is also a pattern in British/American history. Cant wait to read about that.
