Putin would do well to remember that the only successful invasion of Russia came from the East, not the West.

The Mongols didn't stop at Kyiv.

They also tried to invade Japan with a fleet of ships, but a typhoon sank them.

That was the original Kamikaze, or Divine Wind, that saved Japan at that time.

@Thinkerbell They should have ringed the island with Kareoke and anime sirens. Entire population would have walked into the sea

@Thinkerbell T-Bell, at Thankgiving one of bro's in-laws brough his new wife from Japan. So, naturally, they wanted to do kareoke after. I told them to go to the Japanese embassy, it would be ringed with kareoke bars. Like Saturn's rings.

Low and behold they found a place very close by it 😋
