| Jun 19 at 6:51 | comment | added | haxor789 | @Allure That would be legal specifics. Like the USSR was technically a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, so technically they were just independent member states of a confederation or something like that, meaning the dissolution of the USSR might not have created new states and stuff like that, but either way you get the point. | |

| Jun 18 at 9:46 | comment | added | haxor789 | @Allure Both Russia and Ukraine trace their origins as far back as the Kievan Rus (882) though having different paths since the 12th century with the name Ukraine as something like "Borderland" referring to the region being as old as that. During the 17th and 18th century there had even been a kingdom of Ukraine (Cossack Hetmanate). Also it's not uncommon for European states to be founded in the late 19th or early 20th century despite having a history that goes much further than that. But even if you just count the modern country it's 1917 so hard to find people alive before Ukraine existed | |

| Jun 18 at 1:08 | comment | added | Acccumulation | "Like the U.S. lied about their reasons to go to war and create regime change" Who is "the U.S.", and what lies did they tell? "Like Saddam couldn't have given up WMDs that he didn't posses" He could have not interference with inspections. | |
