Saying Ukraine is a "small breakaway country from the USSR", while being the largest country in Europe is one of the most detached takes I've seen on this subject lmao
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

- dragonwriter 2y ago> Did you even know the difference between Ukraine and Russia four years ago? Yes, ~7 years into the current war, I think a lot of people did. > Much less 30 years ago. Yes, I knew the difference, then -- when the breakup of the USSR was relatively recent and the issues in and between post-Soviet states were frequent news items. Again, I think a lot of people did. Heck, I knew the difference when I was in grade school and both were part of the USSR. There's probably a fair number of people outside the US who have some understanding of the differences between Texas and California, too. > They were considered basically the same country. Were considered...by whom?
