      It has THE because it’s a geographic area of historic Russia, translating to “THE borderland”.

      I’m older than “Ukraine”.

      Policing other people’s language is very on point for Ukrainian nationalists. Banderites.

      I ain’t ever had no Chicken Kyiv, but I bet it tastes like shit.

        You can use your normal .ml account, you don’t need to hide being a tankie.

        Russia is an authoritarian imperialist state.

          America necessitates authoritarian strongmen, elected or not. We exploit and undermine liberal democracies when attempted in the developing world. All the while we directly arm over 80% of the world’s dictatorships.

          Russia doesn’t do that. Russia doesn’t have 861 foreign military bases.

          America is not only the least democratic nation on Earth, we are the only empire on Earth.

          You’re calling me a tankie because I support democracy. You don’t.
