Putin calls Mongolia friendly country, Russia’s decades-old ally

Mongolia has been a friendly country and Russia's ally for decades, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with Mongolian Parliament Speaker Dashzegviin Amarbayasgalan.

"I am very pleased to be in Mongolia, which is friendly to us, and together with the Mongolian people to celebrate a landmark event - our common victories on the Khalkhin-Gol River," Putin said.

The Russian president noted that Mongolia "turned out to be a very loyal, reliable ally of the Soviet Union and Russia" in the fight against Nazism and militarism.

"For decades, Russia and Mongolia have maintained very close, friendly relations," Putin stated. "Today these relations are developing successfully."

The Russian leader pointed out that Moscow attached great importance to interaction through parliaments.

"In today's world, this is a significant contribution to the development of contacts between the executive authorities," Putin concluded. — TASS

Our Take: Things are getting epic.

Mongolia has a very important role in the history of both China and Russia.

Genghis Khan, who lived around the turn of the 13th century (1162-1227 AD), conquered China and established the Yuan Dynasty. He then sent his eldest son, Jochi, to conquer the Selenga River Valley, which is the borderlands between modern-day Russia and Mongolia.

After the death of Genghis Khan, Jochi and his son, Batu, headed west on the most epic conquest in human history. It was Batu who created what became known as The Golden Horde, and it was the Golden Horde who ended the Kievan-Rus with the Siege of Kiev in 1240. You will recall that Putin educated Tucker Carlson about the beginnings of the Kievan-Rus in the 900's, when the people of Novgorod invited Rurik the Varangian ("Viking") to come down from Scandinavia and become their king.

It was Rurik's grandson, Sviatoslav, who united the Pagan Rus, Christian Byzantines, and even some Muslim tribes, against the Khazarian Empire in 965 AD. Their victory over the Khazars marked the beginning of the end of that empire, which collapsed into oblivion some decades later. (Literally, all traces of that culture have been wiped from the histories, for some odd reason...)

Putin omitted Sviatoslav from his history lesson to Tucker, but he did talk about Sviatoslav's son, Vladimir the Great, who was baptized on the beaches of modern-day Sevastopol—the largest city in Crimea—in an event that became known as "The Baptism of Russia." Vladimir returned home to Kiev, the capital city of the Kievan-Rus, converting his family to Christianity, and literally overnight, the entire nation of Russia became Christian. This was the genesis of the Russian Orthodox Church, and why Kiev and Crimea are both so important to Putin and Russia.

While Kiev took centuries to rebuild from the Mongol siege, Moscow faired much better. The Muscovite princes curried favor with the Mongols, becoming the intermediaries between the Mongols and the Rus nobility. It was the Golden Horde who helped establish Moscow as the center of influence in the emerging Russian state.

So you see, this meeting between Putin and the Mongolian leadership is yet another major milestone in the War of Sovereignty. History is being revived, and cultures are healing from the sins of the past. Humanity is learning to forge new bonds against what may be the most ancient of all evils the world has ever known.

In any case, the pageantry that welcomed Putin to the capital was amazing. The spirit of Genghis Khan lives, and while it might not be my culture, I can still admire the greatness that others have achieved, and hope that humanity will come together to achieve it yet again. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
