Wow, Putin basically just stopped pretending: "During the war with Sweden, Peter the Great didn't conquer anything, he took back what had always belonged to us, even though all of Europe recognised it as Sweden's. It seems now it's our turn to get our lands back [smiling]". pic.twitter.com/vgk60hT5ea

Hopefully president Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh of Mongolia isn't taking notes.

Hardly a sustainable position from Putin, but he clearly isn't operating rationally. I suppose there is something refreshing about a world power like Russia acknowledging blatant imperialism, but still, the guy can't die soon enough.
