I meant Ukraine, the country. It wasn't independent.
For example, I don't think anyone rational would pin the Chernobyl disaster on Ukraine leadership, policies, or decision making. And it was not Ukraine, the country (as in, a political entity), that had to deal with the political fallout.
I don't think anyone would pin the dam collapse on Ukrainian leadership either.
I didn't mean to imply that they would.
All I mean to say is that the headline doesn't strike me as as dumb as people are making it out to be.
Just another "gotcha". I feel the same.
I could understand what they were implying. Some people lemmy.
