That’s not how Poles see it at all.

Annexation of West Ukraine was one of the biggest Stalin’s mistakes and to the great benefit of Poland. The place is inhabited by one of the most hateful and toxic people on Earth. Ukraine is getting ruined by them.

But it is a fact. Nobody in Russia views Poland as a part of Russia anymore. That’s for sure. But the positive 1960-1980 impression is waning due to a neo-Premetheism of the PiS party.

Commies? Pity you. What Javelins? There are no Javelins in Syria.
Do you realize that US forces aren’t supported by any power in Syria anymore? Russia MPs are actually wasting their influence persuading Kurds and Syrians not to shoot at Americans.
It is a fact. If you can disprove it I am ready to listen.

I understand clearly the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. The Ukrainian hatred of Russia is so great they welcomed Germans in 1941. Not much has changed since.

Period.”

You are an idiot

Lol...Crimea’s natural right to self determination requires no one’s “approval”, especially not the neo-liberal deep state you fluff for.

I’m well aware of what took place in the years of Hitler regarding Ukraine. As well that Hitlers personal hatred of the Russians was second to the Jews...However it was the Einsatzgruppen that began their ‘shootings’ in Ukraine of ‘Russian Jews’ who suffered especially under Hitler.....

I’ve learned from past threads there are some here especially sensitive regarding Russia as they have roots, in one form or another, to the suffering of the Ukraine people in the past by the Soviet Union Leadership. So they tend to view anything regarding Russia through that lens.

I suspect it would be hard if not impossible to see Russia today as it is when you have attachments to the past Ukraine people and their history.

But this isn't 1937....if you look at things thru the lens of only the past and the generations of that time then should we give back the Asian islands we took...or Mexico for that matter? etc.etc.

You stated....”US forces aren’t supported by any power in Syria anymore.”

Wrong.... Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Britain, France, Israel and the Netherlandscntinue to support the US.

Greek Catholics are mainly limited to Galicia. Most Ukranians are Orthodox, not Papist. Historically Russian Orthodox though the independent Ukranian Orthodox Churches are no doubt surging in popularity.
