Yeah, lets send a guy named Alexander de Pfeffel, literally a descendant of one of the British royal families, to Texas to tell their republican party that they are wrong about something and should just do what he says. What could possibly go wrong?

Looking at the video I suspect that the vehicles were staged (fresh painted slogans, no blood, rust on areas that don't look to be from fires), and someone said they geolocated it to be in a Russian controlled area away from bolgograd... I have no idea whats going on there but to be fair I bet neither does russia.

If someone wanted to show me his old map , trying to prove that some modern country doesn't exist because it's not on the map, I would suspect some neurological disorder. But I guess it's simple case of nationalist brain rot.

i'm particularly fond of the period where the grand duchy of muscovy was in a three-way sandwich with novgorod, kazan, and perm all inhabiting the same general location

lol even then though muscovy did the satellite state thing. that's what happened to ryazan and odolev and tver and rostov and yaroslavl and pskov, all of which were their own countries/principalities in 1450
