This demonstrates clearly the duality of Eastern European countries. On the one hand, they want to be like Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, etc. and on the other, they have cultures and a way of thinking that simply isn’t compatible with those values. They use the EU solely as a source of money and do not - cannot subscribe to the ethical values.
Ukraine, for decades, voted to stay out of the EU and NATO, choosing to be friends with their Russian brothers. They were warned, repeatedly, of what may, and will eventually come. They CHOSE not to accept themselves as a part of the Western family, even when other Eastern European nations did. Now when the predictions have arrived, they call the West… the only ones keeping them alive, “cowards”. Why? Ukraine did this to itself. Ukraine chose this for itself.
Ukraine isn’t alone though… the domestic policies of Poland, Hungary, Northern Macedonia, Bulgaria and Romania are also at odds with the ethics valued by the EU. These countries are only in the union fir their own benefit, not the benefit of the whole. To be fair, they’re not at odds with just the EU, but Western Europe as a whole, as well as Canada, the United States and other progressive nations.

@deadboy3646 The Hiawatha crater’s age is still completely unknown. It’s thought that it possibly could have happened within the last 100,000 years, possibly as recently as 12,500 years ago, but also possibly much, much earlier.
There is an issue of faulty scientific thinking at play the team of geologists that found it were looking to find why there was a sudden climatic change about 13,000 years ago (Younger Dryas), so there’s a bit of a confirmation bias involved. The evidence collected was inconclusive and it’s a difficult place to do research as the area is cold, extremely remote, and the crater is below a moving glacier. Jay Melosh, an impact crater expert from Purdue Univ. believes the crater dates back much further.
The LC-130 ANG unit in Scotia, NY has been flying over it with various ice-penetrating radars, trying to map it at least, but what they need to date it is soil core samples, which are just too deep under the ice for us to obtain right now.
