Irredentism and Galicia

[August1991]

Galicia?

This is the civilised part of Ukraine. Putin does not want it.

Biden (and the US MSM) is wrong.

I worked with people like you in our federal government - Ukrainian origin.

Whatever you say.  🙄

You remind me of some francophone bilingual people - de service.

You remind me of some really old people I've met, who talk without any real direction or point to make.  They don't really communicate - they don't listen and there's no give-and-take.  The words just sort of spill out aimlessly and endlessly until you get up and leave as politely as you can.

I may be old but this horrific civil war between Russia and Ukraine, it could have been avoided.

As to the current war in Israel-Gaza, I don't know.

If you ask me: I favour Israel. It is the only civilised place in the region.

But make no mistake: some Lebanese, Palestinians and Israelis love attention, a few thousand. Peas in a pod.

Intellectuals now think this is the 1930s. The US MSM is terrified that Trump is the next Hitler.

Like JFK reading Tuchman, Kissinger and Vienna, Trudeau Snr, my fear is that we are on the verge of a 1912-style situation. Our elite is leading ordinary people into a cataclysm.

In summer 1912, cities like Leipzig, Tsaritsyn,  Lemberg, Konigsberg, Breslau were beautiful. Like Montreal today, many had diverse people, different languages

By 1949, these cities were destroyed.

Why?

Because an elite f*cked things up in 1914.

Not a civil war, but talking to you is a waste of time.  You are in your own little world here, prattling on to nobody but yourself.  🥱

No, I have been to these parts of Ukraine and Russia. I have spoken to people.

This is a horrific civil war - a pointless war between stubborn Slavs - that could have been avoided.

So much death and destruction.

In Canada, we get along.

You've SPOKEN TO PEOPLE!?  Why didn't you say so before????  🥱 🙄

Why are you still so ignorant on the history of the region then?  You've BEEN THERE!
