there is something of a ‘national personality’ impression from all of this, though.
with UKR, I imagine a scolding nation, in varying degrees of profanity demanding other countries subsidize them to unlimited degree, and becoming profane and hysterical when rejected (often putting the sources of such rejections or unflattering comments on a kill-list).
these folks are psychotic. they actually put Musk (who provides their internet services..) on such a list. Multiple US journalists have found their way there as well.
I do not think that is imagination.
But if it is, please stop it.
Let me explain
You stated —
“with UKR, I imagine a scolding nation, in varying degrees of profanity demanding other countries subsidize them to unlimited degree, and becoming profane and hysterical when rejected (often putting the sources of such rejections or unflattering comments on a kill-list).”
It is off-speech to say “I imagine” when what follows was plain for all to see over the course of the past while.
So it could sound as if you are imagining it into being.
Which of course is ridiculous. Not funny at all.
Not any more.
