Ukraine never fought for it and they assumed they were part of the Russian empire and Soviet Union like Ohio assumes it's part of the United States.

My goodness. So the Ukrainian war for independence (by which they were ultimately defeated by the Red Army in 1922 and essentially forced into slavery under Soviet control with attempts to demolish and destroy their distinct culture) never occurred? The Ukranian national anthem doesn't reference their struggle to avoid extinction "Ukraine is not yet dead" - the words of which date back to the 1800s indicating their long struggle for independence and their own national and cultural identity (and the Soviet Union banned its use)?

Excellent, Republican Wildcat. Saved me some keystrokes.

But the Madman won't ever acknowledge it, because he gets his history from vlads_discount_revisionist_history.com.

Since somebody has a short attention span:
