Lol, the differences between Ukrainian and Russian began in the 13th century, when old Ukrainian shifted /g/ to /ɣ/ and then to modern day /ɦ/. By that logic, Germany should swallow the Netherlands because clearly Dutch and German have the same origins and are just dialects. Hell, if you go back to the 11th century, i.e. the Kievan Rus, a bunch of now distinct languages were much closer to each other.

Ukrainian has a lot more German, Polish and Tartar loanwords than Russian. Southwestern Dialects of Ukrainian are closer to Polish than to Russian. Ukrainian has an 38% difference in Vocabulary to Russian, which is roughly the difference between Italian and Spanish. Ukrainian also preserved it’s vocative case, which has disappeared from Russian. It possesses 3 different future tenses, opposed to 2 in Russian. These are two different languages

Soviet promotion of the Ukrainian language was not an “appeasement of fascist russians”, it was a reversal of Tsarist oppression. Just up until the 1930s, when the USSR again made a 180 turn on their language policies throughout its territory.

Yeah, the famous communist hating “Russians” deciding to write in Ukrainian in the 1840s.

Alexander II. banned any publications in Ukrainian. But yeah, totally just fascist Russians lol.

Ah yes, they are just “confused Russians” who speak a different language because of the ebul West.

You’re responding an awful lot for someone who doesn’t care :)

That’s the first coherent take you had so far.

Lol, my gf is not Iranian then. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll tell to just not bother with putting on a hijab anymore when she visits her family.

The bombing campaign will do absolutely nothing to topple the regime. Israel has now hit orphanages and residential areas.

The people already hate this regime.

Also known as putting words into people’s mouths.

Ask any Iranian woman. Jina got beaten to death for not wearing her veil correctly.

Shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up.

In 2009, the government killed 1.500 people because they went out to ask were their votes went. 10 years later they killed the same amount because people protested an overnight gas price hike of 100%. Then they killed a similar amount, because they beat a Kurdish woman to death for not wearing a hijab. Last year, a wave of gas attacks on girls schools happened and the government looked the other way.

Mossadegh would have led Iran to a better future. Both the Shah and the IRI Ran It into the ground.

Almost as if two thing can be shit at the same time

Ne digga, unsere scheiß Regierung macht den Kack ja mit, weil einzige Demokratie im nahen Osten und Staatsräson und so

This isn’t about siding with anyone. You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said the majority would not take up arms, I said there are groups who are ikely not to pick up arms.

There is no Iranian nationality, there is a core of Persian Iranians, who are considered the only Iranians and then there are peripheral groups. Those groups neither feel Iranian, nor do they like the central government.

Just listed you 3 major groups who do not see themselves as Iranian, because the country doesn’t do that either.

Iran is doing Jack shit to prevent a genocide, they are merely reacting to getting bombed.

Iran has 82 million inhabitants.

The amount of people willing to die for this regime is much much smaller. 16% are Azerí, 10% Kurds and 2% Balochi, all groups who would rather die than fight for the IRI. Not that this would stop the IRI from pressing 15 year olds into service, but there wouldn’t be many volunteers.

Brother, I have in laws in Iran. The regime is a brutal pile of dog turd, but at least they have the decency to just cultural genocide the kurds and not do an actual one.

They aren’t the good guys, they are the smaller pile of shit.

Israel has a larger nuclear arsenal right now.

The IR brutalizes its people, but doesn’t treat other countries directly that way

It would be political suicide
