Please enlightening us. What is fascist about Ukrainians not wanting to speak Russian in Ukraine?
I don’t want Spanish or Arabic on US government forms. Is that fascist?
I don’t want hundreds of thousands of foreigners working in the US on H1B visas. Is that fascist?
If Ukraine would followed the Minsk Agreements, they would have isolated most of that Russianness to the outer limits of the country and saved the nation. That’s not to say they won’t ultimately prevail, but they have lost a great deal already.
The Russian-speaking segment of the Ukraine population was born in Ukraine, Einstein.
They aren’t “foreigners.”
It’s THEIR COUNTRY. Its a simple concept. They can dictate the usage of whatever language they want.
The Ukrainian people do not run Ukraine.
Mass-murdering globalist psychopaths run Ukraine.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch. The Russians haven't won yet.
I have been to Catalonia and didn’t see any persecution of Spanish.
Someone here just posted to me Russia helped NATO “with”
Serbia.
Catalan is the official language, and all public documents, announcements, street signs, etc are in Catalan, with a Spanish version after, but sometimes not.
And Catalan is now compulsory in schools, over which there has been some trouble.
Same as Basque (Euskera) in the Basque country btw.
There is more resentment of this in Catalunya as it has historically received a much higher proportion of immigrants from elsewhere in Spain than did the Basque country.
Excellent. This is Ukraine’s ONLY hope of ever becoming anything. Getting rid of RuSSia’s influences and ways is the only path forward for them, as it was for the other states once under RuSSian control.
Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania used to be sticken with RuSSia’s corrosive influences also but as they have modernized and worked to rid themselves of RuSSian influences, corruption has fallen and the standard of living has risen dramatically.
Most decent people of the world hope the same for Ukraine.
Not a big fan of history, are ya?
