I hope you Aussies have been practicing a different accent.
Terms vary in Australia by areas. While the so-called ignorant Pom is copping criticism for using term Abos he is not wrong. Many terms used to describe the true Australians are very racist. Abo and Boong are white racist terms widely used. With shame I must say I have used them terms years ago. Kooris is the actual name of Aboriginal people mainly in Victoria and southern NSW, Nunya is the Aboriginal people of Southern South Australia. Nunya are great AFL footballers. All that aside keep Chicks with dicks or dicks removed out of women's sports. -

Ukraine is not a Country
Hooray, somebody wants to debate, even if its a Azov Brigade fan who peppers his analysis with his cute widdle flames. So here we go! Now in reference to the website you found. Its not a website, its a research commentary. It reveals a complex history, no different to the complex history of all of Europe. You might as well say Germany isn't a real country, nor is Italy, Denmark, Norway and indeed Eire. That says nothing and only serves to deflect from the issue, which is Ukraine. Their historical circumstances led to the creation and maintenance of a nation, viz: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory. Ukraines did not. A distinct Ukrainian language emerged in the 14th Centry, 300 years before your country even existed. Now ladies and gentlemen, check out that smarmy comment? Tell us what the meaning of "300 years before your country existed" is in the context of this discussion? Tossing in your typical flames? Now as to the language, it is just a derivation of Old East Slavonic. It is not unique, nor does the fact that a dialect of a language exists lead to the conclusion that the people who speak that dialect are a "nation" The Ukrainians then were the Cossack Slavs, who wanted rid of their Polish--Lithunanian masters. Cossack Slavs? You mean the ones who intermarried with Crimean Tatars, Jews, Scottsman, Poles, renegade Russians and other "free men". Tell us how historically the Cossacks are part of a Ukrainian nation? They were either subject to the Russians, or the Poles Furthermore, which Cossacks are you referring to? Zaporozhian? Ussuri? who wanted rid of their Polish--Lithunanian masters. While they felt closer to the Muscovites, they wanted to become independant, and were nearly put on a pathway to becoming a western-leaning state with the failed Treaty of Hadiach. Failed treaties are no treaties. Keep in mind that the Cossacks, who were not at the time ethnic Ukrainians in full or used "Ukrainian" as their primary language were seeking to preserve their own interests against the Poles. By the way, how do you know what "they wanted"? Wikpedia? Just as an aside I bet you think Khmelnytsky is a "Ukrainian hero" dont you. Tell us all about him then. The Poles ceded the territory to the Tsars, and then started a Cossack insurgency against Moscow, which culminated in the Russians utterly destroying Zaporizhian Sich 100 years later (the semi-autonomous Cossack state), thus snuffing out Ukrainian yearning for independance. Wow. Ukrainian yearning for independence? Tell us where you made that up from? There was no Ukrainian nation to yearn for anyhting. Im not going to get into your Cromwell silliness. All the Irish references lead me to conclude that you are carrying a bit or a hardone for the Brits. Its amazing how all you English fight among each other. Nice try though, which is more than can be said for most of your ilk. -
