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 a useless asshat. *NM* - 01/03/2014 04:14:54 PM 439 Views
He's not the only lame duck in this, though. - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 984 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 841 Views
It's always more complicated... - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 831 Views
Yes yes yes. This. - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 775 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 782 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 970 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 844 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 850 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 790 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 843 Views

Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 723 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 454 Views
So what's your plan of action? - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 803 Views
My plan of action is to let Putin have Ukraine. We have no interests there. *NM* - 04/03/2014 01:29:45 AM 467 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 822 Views
Of course we do - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 819 Views
Wrong. - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 731 Views
that ignores the point - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 976 Views
No, it doesn't. - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 755 Views

Yes, the US violated the agreement. - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 875 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 798 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 820 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 774 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 764 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 764 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 730 Views
More like the 80s - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 780 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 730 Views
in this case no it doesn't. - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 742 Views

There are no longer two super powers *NM* - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 428 Views
