Russia and Ukraine

I dunno, they just are.  If you dont understand that may mean it is too complex for you to grasp/understand/grok.

Ask those others I suggested the same question if you want answers.  Simple enough for you to do.

They certainly have intelligence and opinions as well or better than myself, is my best guess

Just found this utube Sad. Maybe it is the answer to your questions. If your truly looking for those answers

Questions are complex because the answers become not straightforward.

In Russia not too many questions get asked......They have a put up and shut up or else approach to doing stuff.

Social evolution is a variable phenomenon.....As is all too apparent.
