re: #267 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

it is the antiquated name for the country

I would not assign too much meaning to it here

I disgree for this reason: I grew up with the USSR and “The Ukraine.” When the Soviet Union fell apart, and Ukraine became its own country, I took the time to unlearn putting “the” in front. They can learn to properly call the country what it wants to be called, especially as representatives of the US.
