These petty nationalistic and historical arguments over whether Russians and Ukrainians are the same people or different people or if Ukraine has a historical claim to national independence or not rather misses the point. Ukrainians do not wish to be ruled by Russians and that is the only justification they need for their own sovereignty. Like, imagine if the USA invaded Canada tomorrow based on the assumption that we're, "basically the same people" absolutely ridiculous.

Clovis, honestly, no one average person is not a nationalist here. I swear this is true. I don't understand why the world doesn't understand it (I mean there are many people who think not completely truly). Ukrainians do not want any wars, and – they do not want any dictators. Only the blindest blind can claim that Putin is a good guy... Putin is a former KGB agent, he does onl, but the same path USSR did. After USSR's crash all of the heads there (all the govt) must have been judged. They would not ever occupy any posts. They were and they are still crimes. Ukraine isn't perfect as any other countries in the world, but why to become the pit of tars with that Russian inhumane dictator? Does any sane person wish to live in North Korea? Or to live in the Orwell's "1984"? What for?! Everything is clear and pretty simple: one crazy brainless psycho from the Russian bunker wants to play the almighty, and for that he has started killing the innocent sending thousands of his troopers to die. The West should have never ever been afraid of him, because this is pathetic for a civil world to be kneeling in front of that "new Orkapoleon". I think there has to be no leaders ever. Why? Average people are more valuable, than any leaders. I'm sure in Gospels we read the same: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the nwill of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish" (Matthews 18:12-14) |
