I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Poland was only when the Nazis invaded. Honestly, being under Soviet occupation would be soooo much more preferable than Nazi occupation.

Also I wouldn’t really call the conflict in Georgia invading Europe lol.

So basically you’ve got Ukraine and an example from the 40s. Which was also related to the coming war with the Nazis. That’s not a giant pattern.
