Ask your friend. When he’s in Ukraine, standing in line at the bank, does he feel like he’s from Ukraine?

I know when I stand in line at the bank in my birthplace, even though I speak the language and know the culture well, I feel quite alien there relative to the other people standing in line with me.

Problem being if it is 53% doctor nurses etc will stop working quite quick, as a way to triage the spread. Cause at that point it is too deadly to work without use of special equipment.

But it depends on HOW transmittable it would be / will be. It would basicly come down to black plague level quarantining of some sort (atleast at first introduction)

I think we have to look at the fact that if we send a load of jets over are Ukrainian pilots going to be able to fly them . Our jets are very different to there’s . So does that mean we have to send instructors. Having people on the ground ? Then do they have parts and personal to maintain these jets ? It’s not like we sent some jets and the next day they are shooting down Russian.

> He decimated the UK armed forces?

Decimate comes from latin, to kill every tenth man.

> Britain’s army, navy and air force will all be cut back over this parliament despite promises made by Boris Johnson during the election campaign “not to be cutting the armed services in any form”. ... A five-year defence review, published on Monday, confirms the army target size will be cut by 9,500 to 72,500 by 2025, its lowest level since 1714

9500/82000 = 11.6%

So yes, Boris did decimate the military.

Slow as in moving towards Russia.

You’re completely wrong but okay.

He may be Ukrainian, but is he “from Ukraine” or is he from wherever you’re from.

The human brain is plastic. We adopt the culture we integrate into, and very quickly at that.

I’m a person of several cultures, but I’m only “from” the one I fully integrated into, and it’s not the one I was born into.

Fox News?

Prewar he would spend months out of the year there every year.

He’s Ukrainian.

I have. It was called a balloon.

Ukrainian-born and Ukrainian “from Ukraine“ are very different things.

I’m also not “from” where I was born. Their mentality is almost alien to me, even though intellectually I can still understand it.

How is that concerning? Medvedev speaks here purely about Ukraine and to the Polish border if necessary.

Regardless, they can't make it past a Russian backed area of Ukraine never mind across NATO countries. There is no fear or worry of a land invasion across the continent

So fucking quiet no one reported on it here lol

Also you'd have to be pretty bold to try any large scale embezzlement 'cause I'm sure if you got found out you'd be in a whole world of shit (like maybe just dead, they're at war after all, they ain't playin).

I mean, isn't this the guy who talks about nuking London every 2 weeks

The concerning thing is which side of Poland's borders?

Medvedev, time to take your medication.

Crybaby.

I’ve had a different experience but everyone’s experiences are different.

My Ukrainian born friend with family still in Kyiv, doesn’t really ever bring it up unless we do. His cousin (female and daughter) are here while their husband is fighting in ukraine. He still doesn’t really talk about it.

Poor analogy. People get a defense attorney and fair trials in the US (as an example) and other free and fair countries because it is the right of a citizen. These are not citizens and are thus not subject to that rule.

Also, "internet usage is a human right" isn't written into law pretty much anywhere. Hell, there are very rural places in the US today that don't have reliable internet. Disallowing access to prominent, US based cites is perfectly within the bounds of a country, especially against a warmongering nation like Russia who refuses to exist under the confines of International convention and law.

Any time the virus enters a human being there is the chance for it to mutate into a form that can be transmitted from human to human. That's pretty much the only thing that can really be said with any accuracy, there's no way of knowing how big or small that chance is, but every time it infects a human being the chance exists. My fear isn't the virus itself tbh, its the way my "fellow citizens" behaved the last time the media got hold of a pandemic story. It never ever hurts to have a stockpile of maybe 2 weeks worth of food/essentials guys.
