Through conquest and colonial exploits though. That’s like saying Macron is South American because French Guiana exists. Putin was born and raised in St Petersburg; a historically Finnic territory if anything
It’s probably more important if Putin the actual person is actually Asian or not. And he isn’t lol he is of Russian ethnicity and born in Europe to Russian parents who were also born in Europe.
just because you came into a conversation in the middle and injected something no one else was saying doesn’t mean the thing you injected became the topic of discussion
Depends how pedantic you want to be. A large portion of Russian land is in Asia.

Right but it doesn’t make all Russians Asian.
Hasn’t stopped liberals from doing orientalism when they call for doing genocide on them
Is it more important what percentage of their population is past the Urals or how ‘savage foreign enemy’ tropes are being used?

wrong
for the reasons already mentioned but not addressed
But this was about whether Putin is Asian or not. If the actual person is Asian or not seems like the only thing that matters lol

the world is not your narcissistic fantasy
Lol this was the photo that sparked the discussion
I was just saying that it’s a weird one because the article it was replied to talked first of all about Putin who is not Asian
