Second meme

My only contribution is some gentle editing of what I think is a very accessible explanation of the situation.

So, here goes...

"Ukraine used to be in an abusive relationship with Russia, feeding him, letting him use her car, and giving him whatever he asked for until she built up the confidence to call it quits back in 1991.

Since then Ukraine has been working on herself, becoming a strong independent woman, with help from friends like France, America, Poland, etc., offering her support, loaning her money, and helping her find her way.

Ukraine has been enjoying being single for 30 years, and looking forward to continuing to grow and create new friendships.

Now Russia, being the "Toxic Ex" that it is, wants her back, and doesn’t want her meeting new people or having any new relationships. 

A couple of weeks ago Russia started sitting in front of Ukraine’s house, and when her friends asked him what was he doing there, he said, “Oh nothing. Just getting a little bit of exercise in, that’s all.” 

After her friends told her that Russia was potentially getting ready to do something bad to her, he said, “They’re lying, they just want you to be scared of me, and that’s not what it is.”

Then, sure enough, Russia broke into Ukraine’s house, beating her up, and “taking advantage” of her while on livestream, and double-dog daring any of her friends to do something about it."

And there you have it, folks. 

A sad and disturbing tale. 

(Sigh.)
