Just to add context, I'm as American as they come and since 2012 I have been surrounded by Hungarians both here in the States, as well as in Hungary.

I own property here and in Hungary as well. My network are all from villages outside of Miskolc or Nyíregyháza. My family are in a town right on the Slovakian border. I walk the kids to school down the road over tiny bridge in Slovakia for example. 

Since 2015, I have been extremely close with one family. I am godfather to 2 children in this family. If a new baby is born, it seems that my new role is to become the godfather.

Again, apologies but all this is for context, as to where I am going here.

We are in a town right on the Slovakian border. I walk the kids to school down the road over tiny a bridge in Slovakia for example.

One side of the family are from Carpathia. Where I am going with this?

By default, I somehow have to cross paths with Ukrainians here in the states.

Not ones from Carpathia, that is different and they consider themselves Magyar. Ukrainians from the middle.

To be honest, it is getting worse by the month. More and more arrive and because of our network or where we live exactly, we inevitably cross paths.

They always told me to keep away from them and that was that. I never asked questions, etc.

The Hungarians will help them with jobs, apartments etc. It is pointless for me to tell any personal stories etc. Not my point.

From 2015 until Feb 22, I stayed out of their way because their business didn't involve mine. However, it was difficult at times to not help but see things first hand.

Heavy, heavy substance abuse. From 2015-2016 for example, I lived in the part of the city where the entire complex was Hungarian, Polish , Russian and Ukranian. At this time there were zero issues between the Russians and Ukrainians.. 

All I knew is that the Ukrainians occupied one area of this "estate" let's call it. Like a group of flats in London. Every weekend, ambulances, drug overdoses etc.

I am not trying to put Ukrainians in a bad light at all. It is a VERY complicated country with various moving pieces.  

However, now that I am 10 years older and wiser, I have no issues with Ukrainians that are here. The problem I do have is if they are wearing "Stand With Ukraine" t-shirts and driving cars with those bumper stickers.

If I see that, I tell them to go home and get to the front line. 

If you truly love Ukraine and you made it here, you need to end that and come to terms with who your neighbour to the right happens to be and to figure out how you want to deal with this reality.

It is actually pretty simple as to how a confused "Ukrainian" goes about proceeding with this concept. It is called "please see Belarus". That is what you are meant to do. You are the gatekeeper of Russia. This is not too complicated.

You will actually benefit by having the best of both worlds, if/when you ever decide to jump on board the reality train. You can be the buffer between the EU and your mother land.

Now, you will probably only end up to being the size of Belarus, if not smaller. The new management will not even give you access to the sea..

It breaks my heart to see what a unique opportunity this (I will call it a country for argument sake)

country once had and the role they could have played in this world.

Choose a side before it is too late. America is not going to lead you down the primerose path if you wear your Stand With Ukraine shirts. They are done with you. They got what they wanted.

At the same time my heart goes out to the people of the Donbass. This is the new holy land. When it becomes safer I plan to start spending a significant amount of time there.

I want to be surrounded by the people of Donbass as I grow older. It was on their land where this fight for multipolarity began. It is far from over. It's a slow grind but Russia has all the time in the world the world, to do this once and do it right, forever...

Победа будет за нами!
