Quo Vadis Ukraine?

^ Yeah, well, if the people of a state elect a particular governor, that's who they get.   Democracy in action the way it should be.   But a Right-wing national party that has lost the popular vote for the last twenty years or so that is so out of control & desperate that their leader tries to subvert your Constitution, that's a bigger problem.

Maybe.  I'm not a Potter fan.  He's more like Palpatine.

^ I see--  I think the tricks around here are being played by you.   

Do I seriously believe what ?   That Donald Trump is in reality a Sith Lord ?   That's fiction, Mike, from a movie.   And besides we all know Trump wouldn't make it past the first trials of Sith training.  

I'll answer Suitkees' comment later, when I go more time.

Though he (Wlado) should look into his own side for his own neo-nazis before giving lessons, Putin is relatively right with this "nazi" claim.  It's little secret that most of the death camps were established in actual western Ukraine & southern Poland (provinces of Silesia, Galicia, Ruthenia, Bessarabia etc...), because anti-jew progroms were common since the middle of the XIXth C (entire villages massacred). But those people were not nazis before WW2. I suspect that the Third Reich established their death camps there (as opposed to Alsace or North Holland) because they knew it was fertile grounds for such things.

I've said this before in other  Ukr threads here, but after Chicago, Toronto is the second-biggest Ukrainian city outside Ukraine (and third biggest Polish city outside Poland). When, during the 80's, I lived in the Jane & Bloor Street and High Park area, this was "Little Kiev" (my personal expression) and I had many Ukrainian-descent friends/buddies/acquaintances (and even a GF for a few months), and believe me, when I looked in their dad or grandad's library, there were tons of Hitler/Reich-related books. There is little reasons to imagine that it was different in the US (Chicago/Wisconsin) or southern Manitoba/Winipeg area. One of my best buddy was actually born in Chicago. I also understand many of these grandfathers still alive in the early 90's went back to their homelands to finish their lives free of any problems. I can easily see some Russian authorities (probably still communists back then) seething & fuming at this "returning-home thing", but not being able to do anything about it, since the fall of USSR.

Canada and the US didn't search deep enough the background of these "refugees" when welcoming these populations who were fleeing communism at the start of the cold war, instead of being sent to goulags in Eastern Siberia by the Soviets.

And then there is the Azov (or whatever) Bataillon/militia, but I'm sure the same thing exist 300km across the border.

 

They sure can, not that I care much, I sure don't mind being 'the ass-hat here'.  I ain't no politician.   Unfortunately Trump is and gave nuke sub secrets to some punk-ass Australian who has shared it with countless others.   

So don't tell me about who the traitor is, how to judge American politicians, or about reality in any shape or form.

After Crimea voted to join Russia.  Ukraine cut off all freshwater supplies to Crimea.
