    You’re more likely to lose Greenland to America than Ukraine to Russia. Ukraine isn’t even part of the EU and it is a former USSR territory.

      and it is a former USSR territory

      So is half the EU. What’s this got to do with anything?

        Greenland is more Europe than Ukraine because Greenland has been part of Denmark for over 1000 years but Ukraine is new. But It’s more likely that America will conquer Greenland than Russia conquers Ukraine.

          Calling Ukraine “new” just shows how ignorant you are. Kievan Rus has been around since 11th century. Ukraine is older than russia by 3-4 hundred years.

              Are you high, friend? They speak Ukrainian, it’s a completely different language. Similar, but different.

              Imagine you’re suggesting that Spain is “basically Brazil” because they “speak Portuguese”.

                Brazil was a portugal colony that’s why they speak Portugese.

                But being a colony is different from being an equal part of the nation where you have the same rights as everyone else.

                Ukraine and Russia were one country before 1991, equal rights for everyone. Taiwan and China were also one country. Both breaking is because of American intervention.

                  US and UK used to be one country. Should US now become subservient to the UK based on that?

                    US and UK weren’t one country. US was a UK colony, that’s why they celebrate independence day. The UK passed the baton of being the world superpower to US.

                    Btw UK does support the US unconditionally. Just look at the US treasuries purchases of the UK.

                    The only reason Ukraine and Taiwan want to separate from Russia and China respectively is because of American interference. America has funded the war between PRC and ROC in China, same with Russia and Ukraine. There is always America involved in any major conflict within the country since WWII
