Crimea was mostly Russian and they wanted to be in Russia.

An accident such as you describe would cause the level of the lake to fall, not rise. When the guns were in the canoe, they were displacing their weight of water, but after they spilled, they were only displacing their volume of water.

I am just used to that. I still refer to Istanbul as Constantinople. I need to be re-educated.
“The Ukraine” used to be a frequently used form in English throughout the 20th century, but since the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine in 1991, “the Ukraine” has become less common in the English-speaking world, and style-guides warn against its use in professional writing. According to U.S. ambassador William Taylor, “the Ukraine” now implies disregard for the country’s sovereignty. The official Ukrainian position is that the usage of “’the Ukraine’ is incorrect both grammatically and politically.

All that matters is how I feel about it. 😁
Good point, though.

Putin is playing games with Biden and NATO. He doesn’t want a NATO country still more NATO countries on his border and is making a point.You are apparently unaware of the fact that there are already five* NATO countries bordering Russia. Ukraine would merely be the SIXTH.

there’s an active discussion about how to a) get a significant civilian reserve trained and b) equipped. Interesting. Could be such a thing. I will ask friends and contacts as well. Nearly all men have been through army conscription, so have basic training. Although now conscription has been reduced to 4 months. Taiwan doesn't even have enough manpower to fill its 225K army.
My other complaint is that its "elites" either already live in China, doing business, etc... or they and their family have foreign passports and bolt-holes in USA, Japan, etc... Its very common for Taiwan's richest and most powerful. It demonstrates they not very committed to Taiwan's future.

Welcome to the party, pal...
So, 400,000 people with militia training and 1 million guns will keep a superpower at bay. Maybe, maybe not...but it’ll definitely be a bloody takeover if that’s what Putin decides to do.
But Joe, if that’s true in Ukraine, how much more true is it in the US, where about 20 million have not merely militia training (and another 100 million or so own guns), but military training and (in many cases) combat experience...and there are about 1/2 billion guns? How’s THAT going to work out for you Leftist tyrant-wannabees?
