Someone tell me I'm stupid if I'm wrong but I think Ukraine was a part of Russia in some way, either as held territory or actually part of the country, until the 90s. The Chernobyl incident happened in the 80s. đź’š Te quiero cada dĂa un poco más. le dirĂ© al mundo đź’š 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Chernobyl incident happened in the 80s. It wasn't part of Russia, but Russia, Belarus and Ukraine were all part of URSS which was basically a Russian state. But I believed it was part of the Tsardom of Russia and probably the Kievan Rus and other Slavic states before. Edited February 24, 2022 by FfFfFfFF 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Soviet Union sounds like it's from the 1950s but it really isn't much older than most people here. đź’š Te quiero cada dĂa un poco más. le dirĂ© al mundo đź’š 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Less we forget, The USSR collapsed a few decades ago. Russia is very dependent in certain regards to regions around them- and is not immune to collapse again. America and Europe will most likely issue crippling sanctions to Russia. We will see what happens. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FfFfFfFF 53,221 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I just saw a helicopter fly by, 100% a military one.. It feels very surreal, almost like in 2020 when police cars were patrooling so we would "stay inside". 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love near a military base and the space center in Florida and I've been hearing helicopters and planes all day. đź’š Te quiero cada dĂa un poco más. le dirĂ© al mundo đź’š Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We will see what happens. Russia is declining demographically since the 70s, faces various secesionist movements inside its borders, has poor and declining economy and a GDP per capita smaller than Romania's. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is already a symptom of its collapse and an atempt to postpone it by adding some 44M people to its sphere of incluence.
