Ukraine's European Revolution?

Hasn't this thing been partitioned yet ?

China got out of crazy. Russia can.

I don't see the similarities.  Chinese insanity was imposed from the top down.  Russian insanity is there at the grassroots, Putin is merely tapping into it.

You feeling a bit nutty DG? Since it is ingrained as you say.

I'm not Russian.

You are not a lot of things

Not Russian, not an accountant, not Dorsey4AR, not this, not that.

What are you?

Scotland doesn't vote until Sept 18th.  Partition won't occur until after that.

What a weird coincidence that Scotland in the Ukraine would have the same voting date as Scotland in the UK.

Great, so now Ukraine has Scottish separatists?  What's next??

It is a thread about many things (as is almost always the case here at Languish), but the Ukraine isn't one of them.

Sorry that was a silly assumption.

Is this like the Ohio State University?

The perfidy of the Scots knows no bounds.

More like the America, the Scotland, the Russia, the Valmy, etc.

In English, the definite article is used with geographical identifiers primarily in one of four situations: 1. if the name is plural ("the Philippines", "the Netherlands"); 2. if a common noun is included ("the United States", "the Central African Republic"); 3. if the region in question is a sub-region of another ("the Sudetenland", "the Saar");[36] 4. if the country is essentially synonymous with a marked geographical feature ("the Republic of The Gambia [River]", "the Ivory Coast"). Prior to its 1991 independence, the technical name of Ukraine as a constituent part of the Soviet Union was the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and thus by reasons likely stemming from 2 and 3 above was often referred to in English as the Ukraine. As none of the four conditions now hold (and conditions 1 and 4 never applied), the use of the definite article is now obsolete. Since the Declaration of Independence of Ukraine the English-speaking world has largely stopped using the article.[37][38][39][40] Since November 1991, several American journalists started to refer to Ukraine as Ukraine instead of the Ukraine.[39] The Associated Press dropped the article 'the' on 3 December 1991.[39] This approach has become established in journalism and diplomacy since (other examples are the style guides of The Guardian[41] and The Times[42]). In 1993 the Ukrainian government requested that the article be dropped.[43]
