Yep. Sooner or later, maybe not during our lifetime, there’ll be a war between Ukraine and Poland over Lwow (or Lviv currently), a historically Polish city, and certainly more Polish or Jewish than it’s ever been Ukrainian, which is something that sane Ukrainians readily admit. It was Stalin’s, Pete Seeger’s hero until 2007, clever plan to create a permanent point of crisis between those two countries, and FDR as well as Churchill, fools that they were, fell for it.
The problem is if the Poles get Lwow, then you’ll get the Germans asking for Stettin, Posen and Danzig back.
2007?

BTW, Lwiw is a single place in Western Ukraine of any value. I mean it pays more (thus slightly more) taxes than consumes via federal social and development programs. The rest of the West are really leeching the Eastern part of the country. Some states are getting as much as $15 in federal subsidies per every $1 collected in taxes there.
there are are about 2 Poles left in Lviv that would welcome that. Who do you think you'll be "liberating"? IF Poland gets it back, what then? Deport the entire population? Sounds like a very enlightened idea.
