How the heck is Russia going to win this invasion, if the Ukrainians keep blocking them?!?!?!?! The U.S. should be condemned for interfering. The Ukes are really Russian by a different name.

The UN should interfere and put Ukraine in its place. Ukraine is part of Russia and Russia should never give up. Long live Russia! Bring back the Soviet Union!!! In fact, after Ukraine is made part of Russian again, the Russians should keep marching into the rest of Europe. It’s their destiny! China should be helping to keep NATO and the U.S. from interfering with the Russian manifest destiny.

“The Ukes are really Russian by a different name.”

This is inaccurate.

One of pre-war Russia’s most prosperous areas, the vast, flat Ukraine (the name can be translated as at the border or borderland) was one of the major wheat-producing regions of Europe as well as rich with mineral resources, including vast deposits of iron and coal. The majority of Ukraine was incorporated into the Russian empire after the second partition of Poland in 1793, while the remaining section—the principality of Galicia—remained part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and was a key battleground on World War I’s Eastern Front.

Immediately following the overthrow of the czar in February 1917, Ukraine set up a provisional government and proclaimed itself a republic within the structure of a federated Russia. After Vladimir Lenin and his radical Bolsheviks rose to power in November, Ukraine—like its fellow former Russian property, Finland—took one step further, declaring its complete independence in January 1918.
