also Putin doesn't call it The Ukraine because Russian doesn't have definite articles. like this is literally just an English language holdover from the 1900s

no I'm saying that people may still say it because they literally don't know or because it's just how they've always written it. there's literally a style guide from AP that changed in 1991 when Ukraine gained independence

I can send the PDF from the time period when AP dropped The from Ukraine

there was/is a style guide by AP that states this. I should've been more specific in the historic range I was referencing as which nations or regions use The is largely random and "what sounds right" I am mostly just wanting to explain why some places still use a definite article for Ukraine

I'm confused where you think I stand on Russian and Ukrainian issues as I'm only stating the historical reasoning for why some entities still call it The Ukraine as largely a holdover of prep Soviet Union style guides/habit

that's actually more due to some publications and entities using old style guides. Historically it has been known as The Ukraine before the fall of the Soviet Union. I think at this point the only places that still use it are cable journalism

I never really understood the SU criticism tbh, not a perfect show by any means but so much of the discourse about it just didn't make any sense to me?

wild that yang is implying that electric cars and The World are of equal value

gotcha, could invest in doing cold brew too, similar taste but can be prepped in its entirety any time. Also could just do caffeine pills
