@spiderduckpig good to resolve off poll?

@prismatic What poll?

bought Ṁ10 NO

as simple as: Ukraine is a founding member of UN. While Russia join UN in 1991.

Greenland may go referendum for Independence anytime, and legally align with any country if people wish

@2theMoon Counterpoint: Both of the claims are invalid, thus equal, and thus Russias claim is not better
