It’s worse than that.
Russians wanted to kill off Ukrainians. Now the Ukrainians are doing it to themselves. Instead of multiplying, building an army, they are self destructing.
How stupid can one be?
Women are supposed to be the nurturers yet they’re the killers. Truly, women should submit to their husbands because they are too stupid. Oh, wait, these female impersonators do not want to marry.
Yup, you’re right. They left God behind.
Then these women come to America and poison the Ukrainians here. Oh and they vote for obama.
Ukrainian women are stupid.
Are these Ukrainian women stupid?

Be careful of generalizing. ;-)
It's as if some leftist front hired models to do these protests. It seems like the same three or four girls are in all the photos from various events. They're not at all like American feminist protestors. Not by a long shot.
What proof do you have that they are Ukrainians?
Just because they wear a uniform does not make them smart.
> Ukrainian women are stupid.
Yes, they are, however.
“Ukraine women are ‘most beautiful women in the world,’” says Vice President Joe Biden, July 22, 2009.
If those Russian women are like the apocryphal ‘babushka’, they can supposedly bench press a T-72 turret.
PS Some, allegedly, can do it with the main tube still in.
;-)
Good grief, that photo is in USA not Russia.
Don’t mix apples with oranges.
If they’re so smart, then what are those women doing to stop what is going on in Ukraine? What?
I still stand on my statement that Ukrainian women are stupid.
LOL, a distant cousin of mine works as a translator. She has worked with Biden. She thinks he’s great.
I rest my case.
stupid stupid stupid.
I really hope this is sarcasm. No woman, lib or conservative should submit to their husband. They should be equals.
I still stand on my statement that Ukrainian women are stupid.

PS Check the origin of the photo. Yes, they are in the USA...but they are Ukrainian. There are other good and intelligent nuns and other women in the Ukraine.
Would you assume the women in this photo are stupid? http://ucu.edu.ua/eng
Out of curiosity, is English your native language?
Pretty bodies, yes. But angry is ugly no matter how nice the packaging.
first of all, it’s “Ukraine”, not “the Ukraine”.
I must have missed it in the article where it says that nuns will be baring their breasts at St Sophia.
The “old time” Ukrainians in the USA are bowing down to the “new” Ukrainians. Open your eyes. Ask them who they voted for. I know professors who voted for obama. They’re professors, they should be smart. Ukrainians have short term memory. They forgot what they have been through.
is there something wrong with my grammar?
You miss the point: Generalizing is NOT logical.
“first (sic) of all, it’s “Ukraine”, not “the Ukraine”.”
I accept this and thank you for sharing it. However, I wrote it with the definite article as an *exception to the rule* per http://www.infoukes.com/faq/the_ukraine .
With USA...we use the definite article (the USA).
Remember now that generalizing is NOT logical.
Unfortunately, the statistics do not support that contention. Ukraine's birthrate is in the running for lowest-lowest on earth, in the 1.2 range.
This is a list of reports about Ukraine on Human Life International's website. Look at Item 9 in particular; the URL was too long to copy. (I don't know why it didn't hotlink, either.)

The country is still a battleground -- all of Eastern Ukraine east of the Dnieper is basically Russian speaking only and the west is more the Ukrainian dialects
There is still hope for the country as I have met a few who are converts to Christianity and fervent believers
CM — your hopes are mostly true. The drop in population in the Ukraine is due to immigration largely as Ukraine is very, very poor. These topless protesters get in the news as they are quite pretty and, well, topless...
Muscowy, which was then just a minor tributary of one of the Kievan Rus cities (Vladimir-Suz.. was the name of the parent city), but it rose to power with its Grand-Duke who moved the capital of Vladimir there and also became the Great Khan's tax-collector.
Over the century they gathered more power and then challenged the Horde and threw them out. Then they assimilated the Khanates of Kazan etc. Arguably the Moscowites took in the culture and mores of the Mongols and their government was Mongol horde based.
At the same time to the West, Poland was rising to power -- and Poland resisted the Germanizing embrace and influence (very powerful considerign that the Germanics were civilization in the west since the 6th century) unlike the Czechs. Poland vigorously defined itself as Slavic and also Western (hence Polish adopted many Latin loan words) and it was (and IS) a raucous democracy (yes, even when they had kings, they were elected -- note: this vibrant democracy was one of the main reasons for Poland's weakness in the 1700s and it's partition in 1770-1795)
These two utterly contrasting forms competed in the middle-land of Ruthenia (what is now Belarus and Western Ukraine). Ruthenia, after the Mongols, was absorbed by the Lithuanian Grand-Duchy, a pagan state. It was Ruthenian (Old Byelorussian) speaking and had Lithuanian overlords. In the 1400s they had a dynastic union between the Duke Jagiellon (Jagiełło in Polish) of Lithuania and the Polish Queen (after Jagiellon was christened of course!) and this led to the creation of the powerful Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth which was the second largest state in Europe until the 1700s. This was the Land of the Four Nations (Poles, Lithuanians, Ruthenians, Jews)
in the 1500s the Grand Dukes of Muscowy positioned themselves as champions of Orthodoxy. At the same time the reformation happened. The Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth was religiously tolerant until the Swedes invaded. The Swedish invasion is called the deluge. At this time the Calvinist Swedes swept across the country, conquering and destroying. At the same time, Muscowy invaded, and a Muscowy posing as champion of hte Orthodox.
The Poles fought back, but the distrust of non-Catholics was set in. The Polish Lords (who were also heavily ethnically mixed - Lithuanians and Belarussians but polonized in language) did not listen enough to their Ruthenian subjects and slowly discontent spread -- coupled with the Turkish invasions of southern Ukraine.
"U Kriana" means border lands and this is what they were -- borderlands and fought over. The internal fighting force was the Cossacks who defined themselves as strongly Orthodox, fighting against the Moslem Turks. But this was turned agains the Poles as well (too much to go into, suffice to say mistake made on BOTH sides)
Muscowy stepped in and drew the ukraine into its embrace.
The Khelminitsky Cossacks initially welcomed this, but in hindsight this was slapping your friend (The commonwealth) and befriending a dangerous bear (Muscowy). Ukraine never had a chance.
This was only exacerbated in the late 1800s with nationalism and forced Russification (NOTE: at the same time there was forced Anglicisation, Germanization, Francification etc., not an isolated phenomenom), Belarussian and Ukrainian nationalism was nipped in the bud.
Then they were the hardest hit by Stalinism.
