US and UK weren’t one country. US was a UK colony

Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

that’s why they celebrate independence day

Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

The only reason Ukraine and Taiwan want to separate from Russia and China respectively is because of American interference

Nobody gave a shit about Americans in Ukraine when the Orange Revolution happened, or during the Maidan Protests. They just wanted democracy and re-integration with the West.

One more time: Ukraine was an independent country around 400 years before Muscovy (proto-russia) became a thing. It got gobbled up by the various superpowers of the area, but always retained its national identity. Culturally, there's a very clear continuation from the Kyivan Rus all the way to modern day Ukraine.

You might as well suggest that the Scottish independence movements exist because of "American interference", even though they existed for hundreds of years before the American Independence.

You're just repeating russian propaganda points verbatim, so I don't know if you're this ignorant, or a russian bot. If it's ignorance, feel free to ask questions, I know lots of people are super confused with what's going on in Ukraine and that area due to russian disinformation campaigns.
