well, supporting Ukraine is a crime with a long-time jail punishment in Russia now, so yeah, it's rare. I never stopped supporting Ukraine since I've been there multiple times and have Ukrainian surname

America was founded on a big chunk of empty land that was uninhabited, right. And hey, my ancestors moved to North America well over a hundred years before America was founded. Always tickled me a little that I immigrated to a country where some of my ancestors lived before the country even existed. -
Meanwhile, Iran killed a Palestinian civilian on the West Bank last night (and lightly injured two Israelis) in a 180 missile attack, which - like in April - seems to have ended up being not much more than somewhat annoying and damaging a few military buildings. -

America was founded as a country for immigrants from all over (legal immigration), Israel is the land of the Jews, the one land of the jews, so yes i could definitely say that they should take them back, though after the recent attacks i'm not sure who can take them where since it seems like we are about to turn the middle east into a big crater (hopefully) -

Until about 15 years ago, France probably didn't even have a national futsal team? Or if they did, they certainly didn't play in big events. On the other hand: Italy, Russia and Ukraine have always been strong in this sport, although Italy almost always lost to Spain in key matches. -

In these days it's rare for a Russian to support for the Ukrainians, am I right? -
The whole "homeland" talk (which both Israelis and Palestinians engage in) always bothers me because of how incredibly stupid it is. As a random example, I am Acadian. So where is my "homeland"? Is it Quebec, the "French" area in North America? Is it New Brunswick, where my ancestors fled to after being deported? It it Louisiana, which was set asside for them as a place to live by the British after they were deported? It is Nova Scotia, where the Acadians settled before being conquered and deported? Is it Normandy, where my ancestors lived in Europe before settling in Nova Scotia? Is it Denmark, where my ancestors lived before conquering Normandy? Or do I go back further? Or maybe I should live in Great Britain since my ancestors were forced to become subjects of the Crown? And I'm Roman-Catholic, so maybe Italy is my homeland? Especially stupid because for every single one of those places, some other group has a better claim as it being their "homeland" than I do, because it turns out it isn't that rare for multiple ethnic groups to have competing legitimate claims over the same area. Anyway, I ended up moving to Washington State, which is objectively not "my homeland" but, hey, weather's nice here.

This feels like... not an argument an American (or a Canadian :P ) should be making given where we live and how many countries could "take us back"...
