The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

For the Baltics, World War II didn't end until the restoration of independence in 1991. For Europe, the collapse of the USSR won't end until Russia is defeated in Ukraine. We are still living in the long 20th century. This will be a commonplace position for historians to have.
