@ILoveAmericaNews

I've seen reports putting Z on EVERY SIDE of this...

... current, not old.

It's all BS.

So I've got kind of a dumb question...

For the actual people living in Ukraine, is there a reason for them to actually care which assholes flag is flying over their building?

@sj_zero

I think this is how it got started...

... those in the Eastern area (Donbas and such) felt more Russian, those in the Western part felt Ukrainian.

Add some abuse of one toward the other.

It's probably going to be split pretty much along the lines that were talked about ON DAY ONE. That's my guess.

@ILoveAmericaNews

People who knew Ukraine before this conflict knew it was a massively corrupt place, so from the start getting the truth was going to be difficult.

Because of that, any discussion of public sentiment is tough to believe.

Ask them, "Do you want to elect your own leader?" they would presumably wonder about the validity of the election which would skew their answer.
I just think of if the American army was on the border about to take my city, and the call went out: "Who wants to volunteer to fight the Americans?" -- I'd probably be like "Howdy you all parteneur" -- go ahead, doesn't negatively affect my life if it's Trump instead of Trudeau, but it will very negatively affect my life if me and all my friends die fighting the Americans!
