#China grows bored with stealing glaciers from #India and sandbars from the #Philippines, and launches Operation #外东北, backstabbing and invading Russia after betraying their agreement to divide the World together when Russia's accelerating enfeeblement grows quite cringe

June 22 marks 
The news about German invasion and the beginning of the war was announced over the radio. At noon on June 22 the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs V.Molotov addressed the Soviet citizens with a phrase that went down in history:
A Lesson From The Past, And A Warning For The Future?
What is left of the Red Army after the smashing offensives of Operation 
Aber im Ernst, ein beeindruckendes Denkmal in einer tollen Landschaft! 
![«Must the War Spread?”’ published in ]anuary, 1940, and to a lesser extent in ‘“Choose your Future”, published in May, 1941, I analysed them at length, and defended the conduct of the U.S.S.R. I claim that recent events have fully and triumphantly justified both the analysis and the defence, and have shown that the conduct of the U.S.S.R. has not in any way been a reversal of its policy or a contradiction of its principles. Now that it has been made so clear that here too the U.S.S.R. was acting rightly and consistently, we would do well to remind ourselves, as I have already mentioned in the Introduction, that very little that we have hitherto read in most of our Press about the U.S.S.R. has borne any real relation to the truth. One may add that we are all likely to be extremely thankful that when the long expected attack from the West broke upon the Soviet Union on the 22nd June, 1941, she was in occupation of the Karelian Peninsula, of the three Baltic Republics, and of Western Ukraine, Western Byelorussia and Bessarabia.](https://media.historians.social/media_attachments/files/110/590/587/273/132/225/original/5742b143c3ef5069.jpeg)
