This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And it's just one year! Damn, 20th century was very full of events. And 21st century started with Putino-Ukrainian war.

Not all of them started or ended in 1932. And Russia v Ukraine is far from the first 21st century conflict, the entire official US vs Iraq war was 2003 to 2011 for example.
