I never heard 'kyiv' in all my life until Putin invaded.

I couldn't care less which pronunciation people use, but I'm going to use the one I head for 99.9% of my life so far.

In the context of this war, I AM a Putin supporter. And I'm more than halfway towards supporting Russia nuking Washington DC, enemy capitals in Europe, and Israel.

Just a "we're only sending one, but will send them all if you retaliate" type of deal. Dunno about the others, but we might have a chance to retake our country if the snakes in DC were vaporized.

Worst case scenario, no more blue spots on our landscape.

The Ukranian and the Pole I knew back in high school both called it Kiev rather than "keev". This has all been some pretty blatant wartime propaganda.

Have they considered KieX, that's really the more accepting and open minded pronunciation.

It does the same thing in Yandex translate too, and I would think revising it there to appease SJWs would be a bit out of the question. Even the voice example pronounces it differently than we'd think an English speaker would say Kiev.

What's even more interesting is Yandex pronunciation examples between Russian and Ukranian are pretty much the opposite of what the chick in the video says.

I’ll pronounce it the same way that it has appeared on every map in English. We do not call Germany Deutschland in English despite that being the name Germans call their country in their native tongue. Making pronunciation a political statement is stupid and these people should be ignored by the general population

I know a few Ukranians. I work with them. They pronounce it the russian way like this lady says it is. It's been kiev since I was really little and learned what chicken kiev was. This isn't a data Data thing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqwx2XFb1fQ ) It's just a way for these word weasels to control the conversation. This is the little bit of concession they'll use to take the mile in the discussion.

Wow, did you hear that? Pronouncing it correctly can support the Ukrainian people!

This might be the first magic word to actually save lives! She didn't go far enough, though, she didn't prescribe how many times a day each person should say it. Surely there should be studies to see how many people are saved per utterance, and how long their lives would be extended as a result.

Make sure to disclose that on your alt account later, too. Why should any American give a shit about you calling them anti-American when you aren't even one of us? I also wonder how much you'd "love" America if the shekel flow were cut off.

Exactly! Romans renamed the region to Palestine to annoy the Jews, and they used that name still to refer to Jews. But, it was better to rename the country to the original name Israel. The other idiots who claim it is "palestine" are not really natives from there, usually muslims from Jordan, Egypt or Saudi Arabia that went there hoping to kill some Jews. Funny how they only began asking for a country of their own after Egypt made peace with Israel.

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not".

Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -

"The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, Muslim Sherkas from Russia, Muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. The civil and tribal wars between Yemmenites (from Yemen) and Kessites (from Banu Kais of Saudi Arabia) ... are well known among Palestinians.

"My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants."

Walid, a Palestinian Arab defector, talking about the recent immigration of Arabs to Palestine. quoted from "Answering Islam"

thank goodness Israel exists. So you muslims have something to remember forever the atrocities you committed against such a great people. And a strong place that will stand against you intolerant sobs.
