The second sentence would make Vladimir Putin proud. When as the great empire of Ukraine gained any ground over the lines drawn after the collapse of the USSR? “Great empire of Ukraine?” No, the empire is the US and NATO, obviously. Ukraine is simply the next prospective territory they want to expand into. And they did in fact gain significant ground after the collapse of the USSR. That’s fair so long as bombs aren’t flying on your neighbours house. Nope. It would still be the ruling class’s problem. If that happened, I would be calling for surrender and trying to avoid the draft and help others to avoid it. Because I have absolutely no interest in fighting on the behalf of my oppressors to uphold their “right” to exploit me. Again, why would I give a shit which flag my oppressors are waving?
