Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦✨



Wishing you strength, peace, and unity. May your spirit of freedom continue to shine brightly, and may your people always walk proudly in courage and hope.

May your hard times quickly come to an end, and may the wounds from the past between our nations be finally acknowledged and healed. Keep strong, Ukraine, and remember who gave you your name and who recognised your independence first.

From Poland with Love 🌻💙💛

Wishes? Grow up and stay independent. Get rid of the MF oligarchy.

Slava Ukraini, heroyom slava!

Perhaps we can celebrate Ukrainian independence day without banderist shouts? Your provocation is obvious and pathetic, Jon.

You are 70 years out of date.


Don't be silly.

Slava Ukraini, heroyom slava!

Слава Україні! Героям слава!


It predates him by a few decades.

Unrelated question.... does anyone know off the top of their heads what kind of family/hereditary model is traditional in Ukraine?

I came across this video and now I'm wondering...

youtube.com/watch?v=-RFFwhbVqeU

russia followed the 'exogamous communitarian' model (more closely than any other) with patriarchs having absolute power over their adult sons and their wives... these societies tend toward totalitarianism being controlled by unaccountable absolute leaders (putin and xi being prime examples)

Poland followed the 'egalitarian nuclear' model with all sons inheriting equally (lots of tension between equality (redistributionist populists) and freedom (capitalistic technocrats) as seen in current Polish politics)

Germany followed the 'authoritarian' model with only oldest sons inheriting... (capable of rapid transformation and concerned with perpetuating the lineage and when under attack will never. give. up.).

Ukrainian response to the russian invasion suggests an authoritarian family model....

(nb of course no society perfectly matches one model as there will be regional differentiation and other factors that affect implementation).

The two Ukrainiabn families I know best aren't in any sense patriarchial. The men are respected however they do not dominate.


We had that among better off farmers until relatively recently (except for in Kent which legally followed a pre-Saxon model until 1974). That was to preserve assets (rather than dilute them as in Fance/Poland with sizable landholdings degenerating to smallish plots in a few generations) and also had the effect of creating a legal/medical profession, a married clergy and a rathger large navy and mercantile class.

...quit taking American taxpayers' money and sending your men to death for nothing...

Since Feb 24, 2022, how did it work for you, dear Ukraina...Not very well, I guess... You shouldn't have listened to that British POS, BJ, and, instead, signed the Minsk agreement with Russia.

Acting as American warmongers' proxies is always painful and sometimes suicidal...Don't do it again...if you even manage to continue as a country...

What else would you expect from a leftist homo that makes up crap on every thread.

Foreign rightards are so sweet. No wonder they all shoot each other.

Anyway, Happy Independence Day to Ukraine, and may Putler and those who enable and/or support face fair yet resolute judgement for their deeds.

With over 1 million dead or permanently disabled, the country in ruins, half of the population gone, on Western life support...It must be a very happy day in Ukraine, indeed...

What an idiot...Just to say something...

May next year's be prouder yet, and may most of us still be here to see it.
