“I’m not pro Russia, I’m pro-America.”

If so you would recognize other American patriotic Freepers.
Typically, American patriots say god Bless America.

However, Slava Ukraine means “Glory to Ukraine!”

HISTORIC REFERENCE:
This phrase became popular among Ukrainians during the Ukrainian War of Independence from 1917 to 1921. From the 1930s Slava Ukraine was used by different Ukrainian groups, as well as Ukrainian diaspora groups and refugee communities during the Cold War.

Of course in the Soviet Union the phrase was forbidden and later other Russian authorities. The phrase eventually resurfaced in Ukraine during the country’s struggle for independence in connection with the fall of the Soviet Union.

Today, during the ongoing 2022 Russian invasion of Ukrainea “Slava Ukraine” is used in protests to support Ukraine around the world.

(Ukrainian: Слава Україні!, romanized : Sláva Ukrayíni!, IPA: [ˈsɫaʋɐ ʊkrɐˈjinʲi] ( listen)) is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I have no interest whatsoever in learning the history or customs of Ukraine or any other Slavic country. So you can keep your VAST knowledge to yourself.

It’s obvious Google is your friend. You copy and paste like a pro. Comes in handy when you want to fool people into thinking you’re smarter than you really are.
