I like how they're obviously mad about being challenged but they can't say that or they'll look bad so they just invent another reason.

    I think they think of it as an assault on Ukrainian sovereignty. like calling it the ukraine implies it's a geographical name rather than an etnicity with a right to self-determination. russia doesnt have any territorial claims against ukraine beyond Crimea that I'm aware of.

      Right no I get why they prefer the term not be used, I just meant that the redditor thinking you were Russian for using it probably didn’t realize it used to be quite common in English as well.

        Russian doesn't even HAVE any articles. There's no "as well" it's exclusively English.

        Four fucking years of this shit god damn.
