Putin is now offering Russian passports to all Ukrainians who want them. Only requirement is that they speak Russian.
Ukraine is starting to split apart.
The Bandera Nazis will get Lviv.
Odessa wants to be independent of both Ukraine and Russia and want nothing to do with the Bandera Nazis and want them to leave.
Kherson, Nikolaev want to remain Ukraine and not be part of Russia, but also want nothing to do with the Bandera Nazis.
Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, and Kharkiv will leave Ukraine with Putin’s help and affiliate in some form with Russia.
Who knows what will happen to Kiev.

You have described the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Odessa, Kherson, and Nikolaev will have to join forces; the era of city-states is long gone. This, however, will cut the Western Ukraine off from Black Sea, and that would be a serious problem... and that's where most of the violence is likely to occur. Eastern Ukraine and Crimea will be surrendered to Russia without much fight because the population there actively wants to join Russia.
You win the Godwin Award for this thread!
Aside from the heated rhetoric, I agree.
Interesting situation. I think back to the break up of Yugoslavia, and have to view this one as much better in terms of bloodshed leading up to the tipping point where the break up can happen. If the people can somehow self-arrange themselves into a couple or few new countries without the stuff that went on there, that would be great.
If they try it will be "Lwów" again.
aren’t they known for their wit in Odessa?
