Lol, the differences between Ukrainian and Russian began in the 13th century, when old Ukrainian shifted /g/ to /ɣ/ and then to modern day /ɦ/. By that logic, Germany should swallow the Netherlands because clearly Dutch and German have the same origins and are just dialects. Hell, if you go back to the 11th century, i.e. the Kievan Rus, a bunch of now distinct languages were much closer to each other.

Ukrainian has a lot more German, Polish and Tartar loanwords than Russian. Southwestern Dialects of Ukrainian are closer to Polish than to Russian. Ukrainian has an 38% difference in Vocabulary to Russian, which is roughly the difference between Italian and Spanish. Ukrainian also preserved it's vocative case, which has disappeared from Russian. It possesses 3 different future tenses, opposed to 2 in Russian. These are two different languages

Soviet promotion of the Ukrainian language was not an "appeasement of fascist russians", it was a reversal of Tsarist oppression. Just up until the 1930s, when the USSR again made a 180 turn on their language policies throughout its territory.

Yeah, the famous communist hating "Russians" deciding to write in Ukrainian in the 1840s.

Alexander II. banned any publications in Ukrainian. But yeah, totally just fascist Russians lol.

Ah yes, they are just "confused Russians" who speak a different language because of the ebul West.

Okay, look at his tweet. He reposted a video of Hortmann talking after voting to repeal health care for "illegal" immigrants.

He then makes a connection to the shooter, who has been employed by Tim Walz. He is saying that Democrats killed Hortmann for not voting in line with "their beliefs".

You're responding an awful lot for someone who doesn't care :)

That's the first coherent take you had so far.

Lol, my gf is not Iranian then. Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell to just not bother with putting on a hijab anymore when she visits her family.

The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.
