Re: Ukraine
There's one silly thing which really amuses me in this terrible thing - the fact that for a long time it was called THE Ukraine and that has seemingly stopped in the last few decades.
It did always seem odd - like saying "I went to visit the France".
The part that amuses me though is that people apparently became terrified of saying the in front of anything to do with them - I noticed it in Trump people and also a few others. So they would say something like "I have discussed this with Ukrainian foreign minister...".
Clearly someone sent a memo as to what they should call the country and took that a little too far in an effort to not offend them over the name of their country.
It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.
