re: #325 Killgore Trout
Ukrainian troops know they can’t stand up Russia by themselves and they know that they’ll have to get along after the Russians take over. Giving up is the smart thing to do.
The Ukrainians hate the Russians with something tantamount to a genocidal fury. I live in this part of the world, and I can assure you, the Czechs hate them just as passionately. Not to mention the Poles.
