REFERENDUMS ARE THE UKRAINIAN WAY! MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR REFERENDUMS FOR THOSE IN THE FAR WEST OF UKRAINE TO RETURN TO POLAND.

Hey, referendums are popular these days. Ukrainians of western Ukraine living in 
the oblasts of Volyn, Rivne, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Zakarpattia, Chernivtsi ought to consider their own referendums and separatist movements.

Considering how Ukrainians can't pay their nat gas bill to the Russians, maybe it is time to throw in the towel and let others better provide government for those Ukrainians living north and west of the Dnieper River.

• On March 5, 2004, the Economist asked, "Why is Ukraine’s economy in such a mess?"
• On May 1, 2014, BBC News asked, "Ukraine economy: How bad is the mess and can it be fixed?"
• On February 19, 2014, the IBTimes reported, "10 Things You Need To Know About Ukraine's Economy"

Ukrainians have made a mess of their country since becoming an independent country on December 1, 1991, by way of yes, you guessed it, referendum, which they held after the collapse of the former commie Soviet Union.

For almost the entire history of Europeans since the fall of Ancient Rome, Ukraine did not exist as a country. 

Ukraine did not emerge as a country until the Ukrainian War of Independence. That version of Ukraine lasted about as long as California lasted as part of Mexico. 

The geniuses in charge in the aftermath of World War II let Soviet Russians bully them into swiping away a good chunk of Poland, incorporating those chunks into Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania.

From 1466 to 1772, a good chunk of what constitutes the oblasts of the disintegrating Ukraine were part of Poland.

Basically, the Ukraine is a conjured up country by the former communists of the Soviet Union.
