>meme puts the American equivalent in the most densely populated and historically relevant piece of geography.
Eastern Ukraine is more equivalent to sparsely populated coal country, mixed with southwestern US style demographics. It's essentially a completely different country in the east.
Ukraine itself is effectively really 3 different countries, but almost no one cares about this nuance nowadays. Most of the time, it's idiots on both sides projecting their culture war bullshit on a matter of geopolitical importance. I'm sick of every discussion on Ukraine turning into morons turning it into "trad" Aryans versus "degenerate" shitskins. It's so childish
