The politics of Ukraine war is extremely complicate. After WW2 Ukraine got territories from Hungary (and they are still very mad because of this), Slovakia, Poland and Romania. Then Ukraine had very aggressive policies against the people from these territories and they mostly failed, these minorities speak Russian as the second language, not Ukrainian. This is not something that it is easily forgotten, people in the countries listed above still have family in Ukraine and have first hand experience of the situation.

Let's call it for what it really was: Ukrainians commited genocide against Poles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia...

- AdrianB1 2y agoI don't think that is an option of any sort. Wild guess is Putin bet was on Russia getting some territories opening the door for Hungary and Poland to do the same. No idea what is the atmosphere in Slovakia, but the recent surprise in the Romanian politics makes any prediction impossible. Well, he was wrong :)
- aguaviva 2y agoI don't think that is an option of any sort. That's insane. Of course it's an "option". No one in these countries (outside of a very tiny portion of wackos) cares about the current borders, or dreams of starting a war to move them.

- aguaviva 2y agoThe politics of Ukraine war is extremely complicated. They aren't actually. And none of that history relates to the current war. Which is all about Russia's internal politics and ideology. And not about the after-effects of post-WW2 territorial transfers at all. Those transfers in turn were in turn the work of the Allied powers, not Ukraine.

- AnimalMuppet 2y agoHow is what aguaviva said in the GP propaganda? You picked an odd comment to make that criticism.

- AnimalMuppet 2y agoThat doesn't answer the question. What, specifically, about that specific comment was propaganda?

- meiraleal 2y agoI got curious and checked your comments history and it took me 3 pages to have a comment not about politics and the subject was 'Polyamory'.
