Did Ukraine really "steal" Polish land? [302]
Ukraine didn't steal the land, Stalin did, and he was a chiurka, not a Russian. But if Germany wants their land back, we should get Western Ukraine and Belarus, technically that was Polish land for hundreds of years, what, we'll give both their land back and not get nothing, yea right. If ur gonna talk like that, then every country in the world would have to give something back to another, America to Indians, Russia to Finns, Lapps, Asiatic Siberians, whole of eastern Germany was Slav lands, like Sorbs and many other tribes. Being fair to everyone Poland like it is today is how it should stay, western Ukraine was and is ethnic Ukrainian land, it was part of Kievan Russia. Western and Northeastern Poland the former German lands, was originaly and is today ethnic Polish lands, from when Poland was founded as a nation and for hundreds of years afterwards. German tribes did live on those lands before Slavs came, but the abandoned them and migrated to what is now western Germany 50 yrs before Slavic tribes came, the ones that formed Poland. So Germans can't really call that land "theirs".
