@doomernat22@DeMaggioJake Huh? There were barely any Sicilians here before the Civil War. Southerners don't claim you and we aren't like Jews who hold onto ancient grievances
@SlavWorm@aehrent@mikitaposts Every existing member country has to approve the accession of a new country, there was nearly zero chance of that happening with Ukraine. Russia attacking in 2014 galvanized sentiment for NATO
@Jfrdydtdht@mikitaposts Thank you for proving why Russia shouldn't exist. Ukraine was never going to join NATO with France and Germany dead-set against it. Worry about "far right" is performative when Russia appointed someone like Rogozin to key positions
@SaschaAmato@mikitaposts You're even dumber than you look if you believe that Bandera support was a big issue in a country that was ~85% favorable to Russia before 2014. Yuschenko was hugely unpopular and won 5.5% of the vote in the 2010 election

The US has the excuse of having to cover a huge area. The ROK saw the DPRK become a de facto co-combatant for Russia and did nothing. Also their government is pro-China and pro-normalization with the DPRK, they probably want to reduce ties with the US anyway
