Can someone tell me how long Ukraine has existed as a country in the last 1,000 years of Eastern European History?
Because it feels like one of the 13 Confederate States in the 1860s, whose independence we're backing because we're attempting to destabilize a foe, while taking our eye of the real threat.
As an Polish-American, I've got ZERO love for Russia, Putin or their Empire. But from a basic sense of history, I don't perceive Ukraine as a country. 4 years in the 1760s and 20 years in the 2000s, doesn't make it a country, it just makes it a 'currently independent' breakaway State.
This also goes for the other former Soviet Republics that probably need to be reabsorbed by the Russians. And no, I don't want Russia to get stronger. But I'd rather the Russians absorb the Stans than allow China to absorb them. I'm a lot more worried about them becoming Chinese provinces/puppets, than them being Russian territories.
But that might just be me.
