“You’ve made another false statement.”

Like I say we differ in opinions of an artificial country...in my case, it is a country that is reasonably homogeneous, like Russia, China, Germany, and the US (was). Yugoslavia and Ukraine (old borders) were not, but Ukraine may soon become a real country, once this war is over.

The false statement that I was referring to was your claim that the Ukrainian language did not even existing 100 years ago.

As for your criteria of what makes an artificial country, the ethnic Ukrainians make up 78% of the population of Ukraine, while ethnic Russians make up only 72% of the population of Russia. By your own standards, doesn’t this make Russia an artificial country? The share of ethnic Russians in Russia will fall even lower if Russia successfully incorporates the majority ethnic-Ukrainian areas that it now claims.

Btw, your statement about the homogeneity of the US is horrible off the mark. The United States is the most successful multi-ethnic country in history. It is far from being ethnically homogeneous. The English, who founded this country, account for only 8% of the US population. If you include people who list “American” as their ethnic identity, this rises to only 15% of the US population. If you broaden to racial, and not ethnic, terms, Whites make up only 58% of the US population (although that is an undercount as the Census Bureau separates Latinos, which is a cultural grouping and not a racial one, from Whites).
