I believe they and Russia were a combined state throughout most of their history,....
Also, face it, the Ukraine will not hold up for another year. They will probably fail well before that.

As I stated in a previous post - maybe in a different thread as well; Ireland was under English/British control for over 700 hundred years from 1169 until they became Independent in 1922.
Does that mean it would be ok for the UK to march into Ireland and take it back now?
Of course it wouldn't be alright.
Ireland is an Independent country that makes its own choices, which is as it should be.
Same as Ukraine should be allowed to make its own choices as an independent nation without fear of reprisal from their neighbours.
Or do you see it somehow different?

Yeah, as opposed to getting rid a of a massively corrupt Russian puppet who was as popular amongst Ukrainians as a turd in a swimming pool?
Yet here we are, a bloody WWI like war of attrition that is slowly bleeding both countries dry in more than one way.
Also to be quite honest, I also believe that the socialists arses in power in western europe and the USA have used the Ukraine to satisfy their love of power and corruption
Are you aware that Zelensky (a supposed hero of Democracy) has suspended all elections?
Are you aware that his wife is the current owner of the most expensive automobile in the world?
Are you aware that Orthodox churches have been close and people of that faith are no longer allowed to worship their God?
Are you aware that gangs of thugs kidnap their citizens and force them to the front with almost no training?
I think possibly you, and everyone that supports this complete fiasco need to look a little closer at what you are supporting.
Nor are strong enough mentally or physically to actually fight in.
If England had never invaded Ireland, they would be 100% distinct cultures
Irish are Catholic, English (if not Atheist perverts) are protestant.
Irish people are farmers by in large, English traders and warriors, and so on and so on.
Hell, Irish people even somewhat look different than the ENglish.

Why would anyone trust Putin to keep his word?
Because Putin is the President of Ukraine?

I would recommend Annie Jacobson's latest book "Nuclear War: A Scenario" on the current state of nuclear arsenals and doctrine.

Dermot MacMurrough was the King of Leinster during the twelfth century and is most remembered as the man who invited the English into Ireland.
