Russian invasion of Ukraine

Can you name me any parts of any empire that became part of that empire without force?
Ghengis Khan, back in the day. Not sure of what bits of the empire specifically though.

He would slaughter entire populations and once the word was out that you didn't resist he was sort of welcomed. Not quite the same as being invited in but it wasn't all force.

There’s never been an empire that didn’t exist through force or threat of force is probably a more accurate statement.

Regardless, there’s very few people today who want their country to have an empire and we can see quite clearly how horrified people are at Russia doing it in 2022 and that’s left, centre, right wing people too.
 
I’d have more respect for people like this, Galloway is one over here, if they just held their hands up and said they read it wrong and Russia are not what they thought.

People like Carlson and the rest of his cronies have 0 bottle or morality, so they never will.

Sorry, should gave put a smiley or some such.

I know that slaughtering every man woman and child bar one poor bloke who gets to tell the next village what's round the corner (just before being slaughtered himself) so that they surrender is not the overall peaceful approach.
