These are not remotely comparable situations, but, given that the entire nation of Poland ended up being moved westwards to appease the Soviet Union (and create modern Ukraine, whose historic borders are inviolable and worth impoverishing ourselves for), there is something to be taken from it.

Might move to Ukraine tbh
I don't think either of those are real jobs.Mr Place, a British 29-year-old PhD student and content writer, and his wife, a 34-year-old Ukrainian working as a content manager
The pro-war geezers in Russia are in meltdown over Kherson. Nutjobs like Dugin and Solovyov (that are influential enough to have Putin's ear) are calling for incompetent commanders to be shot by firing squad and for Putin to enact full war mobilisation of the population and economy.
English teacher turned PhD student moving back to a warzone because they're skint? Paid in exposure at best.
EDIT: His linkedin is a freelancer hell. His PhD is in political science.

You can teach English as a foreign language even if you are a borderline retard from what I can tell, you don't need a relevant degree. Half the people I know who have done it wouldn't know the difference between a noun and a verb.
I know a pit yakka from Ashington who went to China to do that. I'd love to hear the little Chinese kids speaking that brand of English.
Alreet in a Chinese accent sounds like torture for speaker and listener alike.
Been nice knowing you all.
Well now things are really going to pick up.
It's probably bits of a shot down one, or a botched attempt to shoot one down.
The names of those two people will go down in history like Franz Ferdinand.
Sky News are busy asking Carlos Quieroz if he’s alright representing a nation that represses women so don’t worry about it.
Why does nobody ask anyone on the City payroll that?
Jokes aside, Russia will have to deny this. There'll be lots of information about it being Ukrainian air defences that did it.
How long does a conventional war between 'The West' and Russia last then?
Not very long at all.
Unless China get involved. Then, well, let's just hope they don't.
Xi won't go anywhere near it, unless he wants his third term to be a short one. I can't see this escalating, Russia are struggling against Ukraine alone and have apparently depleted their missile inventory massively with today's strikes (they're already having to depend on Iran heavily). Militarily they make little sense but for them it was all about optics on the backdrop of G20 and it's blown up in their face because they've got untrained conscripts operating outdated missile systems.
China would get taken to pieces in a conventional war too, as they well know.
It'll probably end up being a Ukrainian missile, or a gas explosion caused by the dreadful Polish diet.
Kotlet schabowy, kapusta and ziemniaki is a well balanced meal.
What if this missile strike was in retaliation to Phonics banning one of Vlads Iranian allies?
Well done Phonics, you fucking prick.
Ayatoll'dya it was a bad idea.
A Fatwa good that's done us.
Why's it always us?
Because we keep telling them to "go away" on the international stage.
It wasn't a Ukranian missile? Gonna be a tough one to swallow this for the soft shite brigade. Hopefully it was a direct bit of western-supplied weaponry that caused it too.
Lolololol, you went a bit early with your boner it seems but this line is also good. Over Ł100bn of support from about 50 countries to a population of 50m and I'm not even sure that includes all the sanctions.
The fuckers got pummelled so hard yesterday Moldova lost power for a bit. Inject it.
Indirect support and direct support are two completely different worlds.
Maybe you should go and live in Iran if you're so into authoritarian regimes Taz?
You're worse than that hook guy.
This seems like a plausible incompetence explanation, otherwise it's a ridiculous coincidence.
That sounds a bit Four Seasons Total Landscaping, i.e. too neat to be true.
The way in which the West are bending over backwards to disown this being a Russian missile is tragic.
They’re on their knees, right? FINISH THEM.
Nato going in because a farmer got blown off his tractor would be a ridiculous overreaction, even if that's what should happen by the terms of the treaty.
Zelensky is doing his best to make it seem like Paris was nuked though, bless 'im.
The Baltic nations seem to be bang up for it. Good to know we can count on them to wear the tin hats when we do eventually have to fight Russia, while we and the French do our bit by sending them 1,000 pairs of wellies and a tanker full of mayonnaise for their sandwiches.
Mayonnaise really is gods work.
We just need to end this shitshow now, it's gone on long enough, the human cost is still massive and the economy of Europe is fucked as a result - enough is enough.
If Putin's not going to nuke Ukraine then the logic should follow that he's not going to nuke us, so let's have it.
If you appease him now with a nice chunk of Ukraine he'll just go again in a few years. He needs knocking off his horse.
I thought he was dying which is why he carries the apparatus around with him to retrieve his turds from the bog so they can't be analysed.
