Oh, one thing I just remembered- the original Rus were from Sweden. So you're kinda bad-mouthing your cousins.  :P

Rape-children of my cousins, maybe.
I don't think we should judge entire ethnicities by fact that their ancestors were raped by Vikings. Most of western, central and eastern Europe was.

Anyone have any grudges against Guns of August? 50 year old popular history may have some problems.

Nope.  No stash of documents has been declassified concerning the opening stages of WWI.

Judging by Viking desendants, much of their livestock was, too.  :hmm:
