Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. Tom Send a noteboard - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM

Holodomor is a politically charged term that Western Ukrainians use to try to distinguish the famine that they experienced from the induced famine that the rest of the Soviet Union experienced, and to further their facetious narrative that it was a genocide against them, when in fact as many (if not more) Russians died in the great famine of 1932-1933 - it's just that Russia had a larger population. Of course, the Ukrainians use the term as an indictment of Russians, but it was Stalin (a Georgian) who engineered the whole thing.

Let's have a bet - you think Putin won't go beyond Crimea? Give him a week and he might be in Kiev. The Russians will certainly intervene in more areas. That's my opinion.

Also, Kharkov (not Kharkiv - that's a Ukrainian spelling) is not really under the control of its governor anymore. If he tries to do anything against the crowd, they'll just replace him and the Russian APCs will be rolling through the streets to cheers.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

He's not the only lame duck in this, though. - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 1298 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 1188 Views
It's always more complicated... - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 1141 Views
Yes yes yes. This. - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 1056 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 1079 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 1277 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 1134 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 1155 Views
Just because there's an article in Russian doesn't mean there has to be one in English. - 02/03/2014 11:21:25 AM 1122 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 1126 Views
You do? Why? - 02/03/2014 03:21:56 PM 1228 Views
its going to be hard to find support from the West - 01/03/2014 06:37:15 PM 1104 Views
Well, no one in Europe or the US has any direct interest here. - 01/03/2014 09:13:36 PM 1015 Views
Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 987 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 602 Views
So what's your plan of action? - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 1089 Views
My plan of action is to let Putin have Ukraine. We have no interests there. *NM* - 04/03/2014 01:29:45 AM 615 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 1135 Views
Of course we do - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 1094 Views
Wrong. - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 1027 Views
that ignores the point - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 1285 Views
No, it doesn't. - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 1077 Views

Yes, the US violated the agreement. - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 1198 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 1091 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 1127 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 1075 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 1029 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 1035 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 1032 Views
More like the 80s - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 1069 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 1023 Views
in this case no it doesn't. - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 1009 Views

There are no longer two super powers *NM* - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 587 Views
