Come on Mats, you guys are still just smarting from the Battle of Poltava, when you got as far into Russia as (roughly) modern Novorossia, and then were sensationally obliterated in one of the great battles of history. Matter of interest, why did you feel the need to invade Russia? It's not smart and it's not funny, and everyone who does it regrets it.

Unfortunately, they often end up with a lingering, festering hatred of Russia. Which isn't really fair, because all the Russians did was defend themselves.
