Ukraine Thread

Let's be honest, he's more successful than a Fascist.

We need a new term...

Putanist?

"Putana" means "a prostitute" in Russian. This is no joke.

It is just as conceivable that most Russians get overly emotional about disabled persons and her being from Crimea certainly helped her chances.

She is not from Crimea. She was on a tour in Crimea. And according to Ukrainian laws one can only enter the peninsula via continental Ukraine. Otherwise it is considered illegal crossing of the border and such people are banned from visiting Ukraine.

All these songs were playing on feelings and emotional response. YOU are the one saying it is a exploitation. My wife is watching this king of programs (UK & US) and I don't count how many times I heard about moms having cancer and contestants losing best friends and so and so... So, you make a exeption of this handicapped person for your political view. That is why you should be ashamed.

This is what Russia wants to hear - callous people jeer at a poor invalid and deny her right to show her talent.

Ukraine decided what politically correct is, so some are banned, some not, 1944 was not...

It is not only about her political stance (although it adds spice to the issue). See above on her violating the law.
