i hate when polish are always shitting on ucraine

You can hate as many countries as you want.

Ukraine was just Russian province

i didnt say i hate poland

i hate that they look down on ucraine

Actually that happened later. That part was until that time part of Austrian-Hungarian EMpire.

i dont hate any european peoples including hungarians

albania is the ethno state

They once occupied a good deal of Ukraine

Than lost it to Russkies

Again, for long there was no real difference. Remember the area is important of Russian culture overall as Kiev Rus is a kind of the cradle.

I can buy a 1993 Dodge Viper for 33k.

Wish I was rich

with a whopping 83, african level, IQ, they're probably easy to manipulate

have nose

I hate that I barely understand bitcoin.

But there had been divergent events and cultural differences. One main one is religion. West Ukraine is dominantly Catholic.

I have nothing to loose but can i even start investing if I'm under 18?

East Ukraine (the more Russian supporters) are Orthodox.

So what do you think of the Russian separatists?

Poles lost their empire so quick

Some would argue that it's like Chinese-Australians declaring part or Australia to be China and wanting to secede.

They can be Russian but can they really take part of Ukraine with them?

Can't they just move to Russia?

@Weaboo Kempeitai Heavy questions. The main problem is a break of International law (The Budapest treaty) and the geopolitical destabilisation of the area.

wat

I think International Law is a spook tbh

jews and judqism?

Is Ukraine's claim on Crimea stronger than Russias?

no

No

Both US and Russia promised a territorial sovereignty to Ukraine in exchange of them giving up their nukes.

US promised it wouldnt swallow ex eastern bloc into NATO

@Muad'Dib It is not even that the main question. How worthy was for Russian for that move and loose support in other close by countries? You see a rise of anti-Russian sentiments in many close by countries (Poland, Hungary, etc).

@Chawosaurian Sure. But the question here not even that.

It is a diplomatic credibility and how much an ally Russia can be in long term.

I think it's like what happened with the Anschluss, if people all speak the language and want to secede, much like Quebec, much like the Confederacy, much like Scotland, the people should have the right to determine their own destiny, imho

Some would argue that the Ukrainians exasperated the situation by not making Russian an official state language, and by essentially ostracising Russian speaking Ukrainians.
