By 2013, it was clear that Ukraine’s democratic facade was crumbling. [...] The Party of Regions controlled the Cabinet, the Parliament (Verkhovna Rada), and most local councils. Its leading [financial-political groups] also controlled most of the courts, the police, the tax administration, and major state-owned industrial companies—in other words, the lion’s share of the economy.

Doesn't look much like a healthy democracy to me.

And the 2014 coup being backed by Western powers appears to me to merely be a Kremlin talking point. Do you have any reliable source to backup that claim?

Feels like Canada is like Austria before WW2

the US has denser cities than most of Europe

Citation very needed

Yes. Standing united can mean also that we recognize that right to self-rule is beneficial to all.

Thanks. I'm happy to see we stand united across frontiers.

I hope they are ready for the influx.

Will conflicts stop escalating?

I feel like Canada being only 1/10th of the US's population, it doesn't matter much. It would be much better to hurt them with something fundamental to other parts of the economy, like lumber, oil, parts...

I live right next to the port of Montréal, so I can provide info if you want. But I know nothing about ports. All I can say is that there's a lot of containers, big round things (to store oil?), and various industry including sugar, beer, some battery-related chemistry, among other things.

There's another port, also close to where I live, that's actually in another city. But it seems to be a city mostly for industry. It has only a mere 2000 inhabitants, and a lot of industry, especially oil. The city has the uninspiring name of "Montréal-est".

XMPP then

USSR dissolved in 1991 when its last member state, Khazakstan, left. Russia, which had left the union prior, found itself with a lot of nuclear warheads. Other ex-member states agreed to hand the nukes they had to Russia. Having nuclear weapons and having the means to maintain them and launch them, Russia naturally joined the Security Council in 1991.
