      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

        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?

          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.

              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

                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

                the world is not your narcissistic fantasy

                  Lol this was the photo that sparked the discussion

                  1000040408

                  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
