      Brezhnev

      Didn’t you know that the reason there are so many jihadists in Afghanistan is because USSR invaded them? No other reason.

      Yeltsin

      Muh 100 wholsum innocent Ichkeria that did nothing wrong but was invaded by evil ruSSians

    Well shit, i guess America hasn’t tried to conquer a nation since the Mexican-American war. Yup, no bad stuff anywhere else either, no reason to look at any contexts.
