Galicia has long historical ties to Poland.

Immediately before the First World War, that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Right after that war, there was a smaller war between the newly formed Poland and the USSR over it.

There are no eternal borders in that part of the world. A good reason to stay out. Or at the very least not plunge in.

This is the culmination of bi-partisan US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. So certainly blame the current administration for what they are doing, but it started in the 1990s. Even Trump did not halt NATO expansion, though he did gum up some of the Ukrainian shenanigans.

At least someone has a sense of history.

BTW..Feb 1st of this year the Poles passed a law banning the Bandera ideology and any groups thereof.

The Ukraine went nuts over it.

I suppose if Poland were to even the score, that means about 100 thousand from The Ukraine have to GO.

I will be with Poland on this one.

Polish railway map includes Galicia as part of Poland recently. Also Ze pushed the law giving the Polish citizens the right to be elected and be appointed on executive positions. So much for independent Ukraine. Meanwhile BBC is taking interview from the Ukrainian troops in Donbas and they admit that only 30% of people in the area want to remain the part of Ukraine, others want to be a part of Russia or indifferent. One thing BBC doesn’t ask is why Ukraine is still fighting in this case.
