      You do realise it’s like saying that Swedes and Germans are the same? Or Spaniards, Italians and the French? Just because they belong to the same family of languages doesn’t mean they have much else in common.

        Although I will say it being the same shit in no way gives any of these countries any right or authority to try and conquer any of the others. They aren’t literally the same.

        You know, 10 years ago I might have said Ukraine and Russia were the same shit, but would never have meant it in such a way as to undermine either country’s inherent right to self determination, free of belligerent neighbors. I just mean the hookers from each place are the same shit.
