    NGL the tweetback saying he was Ukrainian is pretty funny even if it’s a NATO kool-aid drinking account.

      I've seen ukraninan nationalists who unironically believe this and it is really funny

        What, they think ancient Stone Age Ukrainians came down and settled the Levantine thousands of years ago?

          I don't know the specifics, but there are ukraninan nationalists who think that ukraine is the origin of all culture and civilization

              there is a lot of fascinating nationalist crankery in eastern europe. Another one(and my personal favourite) is fomenko's new chronology

            the absolute funniest ones are always the foreigners who seemingly pick a country at random and join these weirdo movements of theirs.

            there's an italian linguistics professor who insists hungarian is etruscan, which lines up super well with some strains of our weirdos.

        that's normal for europeans though. there's always a fringe in every european country that thinks jesus was from that country.

          You're right but I've seen a huge rise of this in ukraine since 2014
