    Somebody tell this 🤡 (and Putin too) that annexations can happen after a war, not during. If you try to do reichskommissariats before the end of the war, you’re in shitty company and people will take you less seriously.

        I think the difference is that Hawaii was annexed in the 1890s not the 2020s things change over time.

        Yes.

        There is significant difference between the US’ annexation of Hawaii and the fiascos of Russia annexing and then losing e.g. Kherson, or Trump claiming sovereignty over a piece of land he probably couldn’t even control for a day, let alone keep indefinitely.

        Edit: sry for the overly sarcastic tone before.
