TV and the Internet are shrinking the world at an accelerating rate. The Southern accent in Texas is basically dead other than amongst people over 60 years of age and the same thing is happening to human languages. In 15 years, there will be a dozen or so languages which anybody other than historians speak and Ukrainian will not be one of them. Anybody in the Ukraine who isn't retarded speaks Russian now and even the retards will catch up in another five years. Ukrainian is basically a dead language and time is on Putin's side.

Other soon-to-be-dead languages include Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finish, Hungarian.....

“...Anybody in the Ukraine who isn’t retarded speaks Russian now and even the retards will catch up in another five years...”

Absolutely untrue as is everything else in your post. In that beautiful part of the western Ukraine among those mountains that are home to a large stable population of brown bears it is difficult to find anyone who speaks Russian in the home. They are not “retards” but you are a jerk for calling them that. Plus large cities like Kyiv and Zhytomyr have bureaucratic pressure to maintain the Ukrainian language like Quebec enforces proper official treatment of French.
