Blah blah blah...
There are “similarities” only in your mind.
Ukraine’s history stretches back centuries. It was an independent society for most of it. Like most of Europe, they’ve had invasions and gained and lost territory over those centuries. It didn’t stop the core culture/nation from surviving it all. They weren’t part of Russia.
None of your verbal diarrhea changes that.
I just wanted to let you know that I am very much against Putin invading Ukraine, and I had more respect for the man before he did this.
Now I am worried that he will become an actual threat to the US.
