The Canadian geography lesson on offer failed to include the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, perched on Poland's northeastern border. You can see it circled here:

This OP is about Canada calling Russia out on its ridiculous attempt to explain the presence of its troops in Ukraine.

Does your comment or the one before that shed any light on that subject? No. Not only is it not on topic, the US isnt even a party to what is being discussed in the OP. It is Canada snarking on Russia.

If you want to discuss the Monroe doctrine, start your own OP.
