I learn from you.
We Americans have been using the “Kiev” spelling for decades, if not a whole century. And it has been pronounced “key-ev”, not “keeve” for just as long. Now, some asshole comedian dictator comes along and you lemmings imitate him like a parrot and give him what he demands of us.
Kiev is run by a dictator and is NOT a Democracy. It is a dictatorship, something that we usually deplore. When you lock up joirnalists who disagrees with you, carrest and lick up religious leaders of the most prominent religion in Ukraine, and arrest people for “praying wrong…you are no longer a “democracy” , you’re a dictatorship.
