I have no such attitude. Sorry you misunderstood. However, accusing me of •anhistorical stupidity” is pretty bold coming from someone who can’t get the facts from thirty years ago correct.
No the real problem is that Ukraine was never actually a place, not with borders resembling the borders created by Stalin when a large piece of Poland was stolen from Poland. Much of so-called Ukraine has been part of Russia since Catherine the Great. Some of it was part of Russia before Russia was part of Russia. Modern Ukraine was an administrative district of the Soviet Union.
