Kyiv Kyiv Kyiv I see it everywhere, where the fuck did this come from? My whole life the spelling was always Kiev. I am in my late 30's and have always had an interest in both geography and history.
My guess is it is so when people google it they automatically get "approved sources" with the new spelling, and anything with the spelling I am more familiar with will be deemed old fashioned. I imagine this is not the first time they've tried something like this. Am I the only one that is driven mad by this sudden new spelling?
Exactly. Nice little summary there on Ukraine to get people up to speed. I'm still trying to convince people the situation is more than just Russia is bad. NATO forced Russia into a position where they had no alternative but to invade. The U.S. and NATO refused any type of diplomacy with Russia. Now they are cutting off Russian banks. Yet Russian gas is still flowing to Europe. That tells you everything you need to know.
