Thoughts about Ukraine?

[eddiememphis]

It drives me nuts when I hear people say "The Ukraine".

There is no "the" in front of it. It's akin to saying The Australia or The Peru.

I had a buddy from Kiev and he would correct anyone who said it. At 6'4" and 350 lbs, people listened.

The Australia seems like a nice place to visit.

Not sure about the Peru.

I still haven?t made it to the Ireland or the Scotland and they?re on my bucket list.
