Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pushed Secretary of State Antony Blinkenon Tuesday over the risks of expanding the NATO military alliance, saying that Russia has in recent decades invaded countries that “were part of Russia.”
From memory alone I think Kiev preceded Russia by 700 years. Moscow just inherited the Mongol dynasty. But Ukraine was battled over by various Euro powers and no one can claim victory. Russia after the USSR dissolution has no more claim than Lithuania has of Ukraine.
Tell Rand that history is a few clicks away on the Wiki site.
