What would happen if Western Ukraine had a referendum to become Polish?

[2tallbill]

Or Ukraine for that matter...

Excellent point. At one time many years ago Poland controlled
vast lands in Ukraine. What would happen if Western Ukraine
had a referendum and most of Western Ukraine voted to become
Polish. They would be part of both the EU and NATO in a single vote.

Russia would argue that such a vote wasn't proper or allowed
or recognized as legitimate.

I think that might be a decent idea actually.

Would the West Ukrainians and Poles actually be able to get along? It's a very good question considering their history.

Yes you would have to point out to them that there would be no more grants/cash/gifts and so on once they become part of Poland. The UK left the EU so hand outs for Poland are not so big now.. 

Mind you if they are willing to put their tongue up uncle Sams sphincter like the rest of the Polish art could work out for them..

What's your point Bill? He said that the UK left the EU.

He did not say they left NATO but quite frankly maybe they should.

The UK is a complete mess, how can they support an overseas war when people cannot walk around London in the evening without getting stabbed and the Police go to ones house and bully a person and maybe arrest them for saying something which is not Politically Correct?

They both view the Russians the same way. Remember
that the Russians killed the Polish president a few years
back. (yes, I know that Kremlin Stu is going to
hyperventilate).

I wonder how Manny would feel if then Zelensky ran for president of new larger Poland and won basically combining the two countries into one now having a population of nearly seventy million and a GDP that nearly rival that of Russia. The real goal here is to destroy Ukraine and carving it up is one way. That is why Manny thinks this is a good idea. Russia might have the ability to defeat a small Ukraine.

I bet at the end of your bed there is a big gold framed photo of zelensky and each night you go to bed you salute him

Putin wouldn't like it because "Poland" (and therefore NATO) moves closer to his borders, and he couldn't mess with that part of Ukraine any more.

The UK is still giving gifts/aid to Poland/Ukraine through
NATO was my point.
