“If it was your house that was invaded, would you fight? “
Yep.
Ukraine has a solid 30 years of being a country. Nearly 32 yrs total!
That builds a lot of nationalism.
They’re losing their very identity!
Their sacred borders are being invaded by the very people who built everything in the country.
Thats kind of rich, isnt it? You are saying the Ukranians dont appreciate their former and current oppressors?
“Ukraine has a solid 30 years of being a country”
War of 1812, how long had the USA been independent? You would have advised Madison to surrender and hand the nation back to the British?
BTW, when the Brits came back for seconds in 1812, we had been a country for less time. Guess you’d have rooted for King George then.

You didn’t need the sarcasm tag because everyone knows your comment was just dripping with it.
Have you ever heard of a little nation called Israel? Became an independent country in 1948, and was immediately attacked; but won. A mere 19 years later it was engaged in another existential war; and won. Just six years later (or 25 years after it became an independent nation) it again fought an existential war; and won.
That's nonsense. Either you know nothing about history or you are just repeating Russian talking points. Which one is it?
I presume you think the Ukrainian language just appeared on earth 32 years ago. And maybe you don't realize that Ukrainians fought in the Second World War. That happened a long time before 1988, didn't it?
And what about those Ukrainians that were killed fighting with the Russians in the early 1900s? Were they time travelers from 1990?
