You can have your opinion but it’s not shared, especially in Russia.
—
History is history, facts are facts, and no one outside of Russia gives a wit about what a Russian thinks about anything, except you Russian sycophants.
So everything YOU say is “history” and “facts”, but the rest of us are guilty of sycophantery.
Got it.
And no one outside of Rooshia gives a wit about what they think?
Don Trump seems to. The entire EU does too. Mostly because they have to. They may only be 145M people now but uh...they got nooks.
Ever been to either place? Notice the similarities in their languages - it’s like Bavarian German is to Platt Deutsch. They can all understand each other. Hell, Bairisch is actually more different from Hochdeutsch then Russian/Ukrainian.

They look the same. People, language, streets. If you asked the people on the street in Moscow what they think of the war it would be 80% against. Especially the kids. It’s Putin’s war, and he’s clearly a Russian Empirist, and considers Ukraine a rebellious province. Fact is that he has some history on his side for that. Most Ukrainians disagree and would rather steer their own course, largely for economic reasons. The ruling class there would like to mine the billions from the oil industry, and not share it with Russian oligarchs. THEY want to be the oligarchs...and currently are doing ok with that concept only with the skim from US/EU money. Looking forward to them flowage fees off the new wells!
Take a trip to both places. See for yourself. It’s not that hard.
It is in our interest to accomplish a solution between both states - and preservation of the Ukrainian state in some form should be our goal - and Trump understands that. He thinks Putin can be negotiated with. He can be, but it’s far harder then DJT imagined: he’s up against centuries of history, and a man who sees himself as a historical character asserting his nations rights. So we have to use the fist in the glove to achieve an end to it, without WWIII.
PS, Piffy:
If DJT rolls the tanks to reassert US dominance in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, you gonna be on the Mexican side?
I can safely tell you that back in 1970, California, Texas and Arizona were blindingly White and Spanish was only heard in a few places.
So uh...you gonna tell me the Southwest is historically Mexican...or Spanish...and that the current rebellion is totally appropriate? Xavier Becerra is the Real Ruler of Alta Califas?
