Even during the days when we Americans were flying Ukrainian flags in our backyards (which have since been quickly replaced by the Star of David) - support from the public was superficial at best, on the same level of sincerity as a pep talk.
While companies would typically include only a UK / EU "Declaration of Conformity" as the "foreign" document available for download, there suddenly was...
...Ukraine.
This is a proper "Declaration of Conformity" document.
This is the barely legible
afterthought that they decided to throw in for Ukraine, for the sake of joining the bandwagon; both were for a Dell Latitude 7300.
Culturally, we are pretentious, insincere, and transactional.
As you can see - rarely do we mean, much less do, what we preach; the state of Ukraine is proof of that.
To further that point, you are probably aware that it has always been "Rules For Thee, Not For Me."
Understand - in no way is Ukraine the shining bastion of Freedom and Democracy standing up to the great
Soviet Russian threat...
Ukraine is a momentary fad, a convenience, a footnote that will be disposed of when it ceases to be relevant - a distraction for our very fickle whims.
That is who we are and what we do.
Wake up.
