Only one? “Ukrainian liberal trans communists” is probably pretty high up there in his scapegoat list.

Ukraine. Not “the Ukraine”. Just “Ukraine”. Adding “the” in front is a russian thing to diminish Ukraine as a country. It would be like Americans calling it “the Mexico”.

But it is the Mexico. Unlike other mexicos. Looking at you new mexico.
Though you are absolutely right. And it’s more than just things like that which are normalized through innocuous seeming language.
