Yes but the Soviets had already attacked Finland. The Soviets were also allied with Hitler and had invaded Poland.

That’s exactly right. Finland was actually one of the good guys in WW II (and that’s ironic, given that they were allied with the Germans).

But that’s not how the Soviets saw it. You see what you want to see, and the Soviets saw Finland as an example of how a small neighbor can cause big trouble.

Tired of the neocon line that Russia is the one on offense. Given the corruption of Ukraine and its Biden Crime Family handlers, Russia probably feels that the failed state of Ukraine may strike first.

America ingested a cancer when the CIA organized the 2014 color revolution. On one hand, it turned Russia into an enemy, just as if China were on the Mexican border trying to flip Texas. But also, it corrupted the US body politic. Everything from Hillary's server, to the fake Steele Dossier, to Biden's corruption, to the impeachment of Trump had roots in Ukraine.

Nah, he’ll call a lid while the media smokescreens him with a new variant.

Team Russia… Ukraine is a hotbed of neo-Nazis and is an outpost for globalist scum like Soros, Obama, etc. Whatever side they’re on… I’m in the other. Russia is far from perfect, but they “enemy of my enemy is my friend” sorta thing. Oh, and maybe a bunch of the Ukrainian women will pour into the USA as refugees…

Or it might support it, given the fact that India is more than holding its own with China there.

LOL, Ukraine is such a hotbed of nazis that they elected a Jewish Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky. Get back to me when Russia elects a Jewish president, or for that matter has free and fair elections.

Ukraine Just Elected Its First Jewish President. Here’s Why It’s Not an Issue

Thank you for the explanation. Slang is non-communicative and irritating, especially when you grow older and don't have young friends to provide lessons. I wonder why slang is used in the first place.

I have also met a number of women from Ukraine. They were all quite attractive.

No, because the Chinese troops have been there for months and they are not having to pull back for lack of supplies…

Slang is used because it irritates old people who are too proud to ask what is meant or (in the modern age) are too dumb to Google/UrbanDictionary for a definition. :P

The former reason goes back literally thousands of years. :P

A dramatically different thing than sustaining an amphibious invasion of a well fortified island.

Or not, right?

Maybe it is used by young people yet to mature or learn their native language. ;-D
