Comments by "Emir" (@irongron) on "Can Ukraine Outlast Putin's Protracted War as NATO Attention Fades?" video.

Mark mentions that nonsense the Kremlin peddles about the Bolsheviks creating the Ukrainian SSR and before that Ukraine was not a country. Ukraine had a constitution in 1710. Almost 300 years before "ruzzia" got one in 1905! Google - Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk

@marieelliott8368 On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians - Tsar Puyin was saying they are the asme people, which is complete BS. The kremlin has stated the western parts can go to Poland and Hungary, so he does want all of Ukraine. Maybe most of it. I re-listened to the show again, it's not that bad, They don't sound like sympathisers. Mark stated that the consensus of NATO would be difficult to overcome, but he went on to say that Ukraine should be in NATO, that here is ways to get around the current situation and get VIP entry and if not NATO, get nukes. The original objective of the SMO was to overthrow President Zelensky and install a puppet and get out and control Ukraine that way, (as they were doing with Yanukovich before he got tossed out). When that failed he went all in on taking land and controlling it directly. This is exactly what Mark and Pyotr discussed. I've lived in Ukraine for ten years and been displaced twice. I give the chat a thumbs up. I've been here long enough to sort out the grifters.

@MrLandL0rD1 It does not mean borderlands that's Russian propaganda, it means "in country", from "v Kraina" = in country (v = in, Kraina = country). If you look at old maps, it's written Vkraina, then later Ukraina, the v is pronounced like an u and it means "in". Where I come from in the former Yugoslavia we actually spell "in" as "u" not "v", but it's the same thing.......U Krajina....

I think we are. But we can ride it out to 2025 when some pundits think ruzzia's war economy will implode and the million casualties will finally break society.

@JesterEric That's nonsense the constitution was written in Ukrainian NOT ruzzian (There was also one latin copy for the king of Sweden). Cossacks are Ukrainians. ruzzians are serfs. Modern Ukrainians fight like their Cossack ancestors, they are a direct genetic ethno-cultural lineage. That's why ruzzia can't win.

@seufer12 It's a fact, I have seen the actual constitution on display in Kyiv in October 2021. You can read electronic scans of the original online. You are just a more-on who is too lazy to look up "Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk". It has got nothing to do with hearsay and it is obvious by your infantile statements you have no clue whatsover of history.
