I’ve never understood why the Ukrainians don’t seem to stand up to the Russians.

What has the Ukraine received from Russia? Artificial famine, genocide, the outlawing of the Ukrainian language, and, more recently, an attempt to assassinate Viktor Yushenko so that a Kremlin puppet could be installed as president.

Russia has given them nothing but oppression, and very few times have the Ukrainians stood up to it.

I just don’t understand why.

Because, historically nobody has helped them against Russian aggression. It’s akin to a rape victim not resisting so that maybe the rapist will go easier on her.

Ukraine is flat as Kansas really easy to invade and has no natural boundaries. If you study military history at all it has been invaded and taken and retaken over the years many times. It is the breadbasket. It should be worried. Poland os course is next.
