- Putin has relied on historical borders to argue that Ukraine is part of Russia, justifying the war.
- Mongolia’s former president shared a map of the Mongol Empire, which included parts of Russia.
- “After Putin’s talk. I found Mongolian historic map. Don’t worry. We are a peaceful and free nation,” he wrote.
The former president of Mongolia mocked Russian President Vladimir Putin over the weekend and his focus on history to try to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
Putin has frequently used historical borders to justify his brutal invasion, arguing that Russia has a claim over Ukraine even though Ukraine is an independent country.
In his interview with Tucker Carlson last week, Putin outlined centuries of Russian and European history to justify his invasion. Historians say much of the history he gave doesn’t stand up.
Tsakhia Elbegdorj, who was Mongolia’s president between 2009 and 2017, and was also its prime minister, poked fun at Putin’s argument on X.
You bringing socialized health care?
I’ve left the back door unlocked.
Joke’s on you, it’s NHS
Honestly, still beats dying of preventable disease because of fear of the bill afterward. At least this way I can die of a preventable disease due to patient backlog.
Why not both! I spent almost 8 months mostly bedridden last year waiting for a magical American doctor to fix me. Even got kidney disease from all the pain killers/anti-inflammatory meds I had to be on to somewhat function. Now I’m in my 30’s with the blood pressure of someone in their 70’s. Best Healthcare system in the world!
Dad says we have patient backlogs at home
Patient backlogs at home: Undischargeable debt while now a skeleton.
NHS is just suffering from decades of destruction at the hand of the UK’s version of US Republicans. They want it destroyed and continue to whittle away at to make perceptions such as this the norm, until they can fully destroy it.
Definitely. They sabotage it and whine about how inefficient it is, right? Eventually they move to privatize it so rich bastards can get richer. At least that’s been the playbook here in the US for Medicare and USPS.
It’s a well-known tactic called ‘Starve the Beast’:

NHS is better than $20000 band aids.
Ready the muskets folks.
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended.
