They've got the grift and corruption nailed pat.
” Ukraine is a banana republic transplanted to eastern Europe.”
Well put. Actually, the very word “Ukraine” means border, which is why the place was originally referred to in English as “the Ukraine,” that is, the border region.
Slavic civilization actually did start in Kiev (Kievan Rus) but the Mongol invasions devastated Kiev and the new Slavic power center became Moscow, at that time an unimportant city great distance further north.
As for the Ukrainian claim to the Crimea, that area was actually under the Ottoman Empire and was liberated from the Turks by Catherine the Great. The only thing Ukraine was at that time was the target of slave raids by the Turks.
Getting involved with these places is utterly foolish for any of the Western powers and always results in their defeat.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The Ukrainian language is even spoken in many villages in the Rostov region of Russia east of Ukraine. And thousands of those “Russian speakers” in the Donbas are fighting to kick the Russians out of the Donbas.
So how is America under the Leftists and their election stealing and bribe taking traditions better than a banana republic? Do we deserve invasion?
And when Rafael Callejas, “El Guapo” was president of Honduras, he said he didn’t care if they called Honduras a banana republic because “We grow the best bananas in the world.” Ukraine has 40 percent of the world’s black soil areas used to grow great yields per acre. Russia covets that and its other resources. Ukrainians care enough to fight for freedom with the Spirit of ‘76. You limply support the land grab and have no respect for freedom-loving peoples.

Didn’t Hitler use the same argument re the Sudetenland? Didn’t Mexico use the same argument re Plan de San Diego?
