Another thought-provoking post, Bill. Any comments on this Substack post by Michael Tracey? https://mtracey.substack.com/p/ukraine-is-trying-to-goad-the-us

Excellent post as usual.

I have heard the word "separatist" used to describe (many or even the majority of) eastern Ukraine citizens and the citizens of Crimea. The "separatists" want to be part of Russia.

I am trying to understand why aren't these eastern separatist Ukrainians the equivalent to American and Texan revolutionaries. I cannot find enough on-the-ground information to make an informed guess on that question. While 30 years of existence for Ukraine is short, it is one generation.

No need to respond to this. I am only posting my curiosity about on-the-ground Ukraine.
