from spurdo-finland to the balkans

can you imagine the sheer autistic power

@JacobI can see that happening sans Sweden. "The non-Muslim EU"

The Baltic countries seem like really nice places

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN and without the imperial German borders, I assume?

@Alex Kolchak - NY can you imagine the massive civil war when that powder keg blows up?

@Lawrence of Eurabia y tho

They just look nice @Jacob

yes

I’m mostly joking, of course. But I do think the central/eastern European countries that have historically been stuck under various empires would benefit from more solidarity

which, to be fair, they kind of do these days with things like the V4

sorry, fixed the order

@Alex Kolchak - NY Agreed, in fact I'd like to see Vgrad 4 turn into Intermarium.

V4? I want at least a V6 or V8 🏎

Eastern European countries should put aside their differences and cooperate with Russia

oh and they should also end this silly "Central Europe" meme and admit that they're Eastern Europeans

Don't leave Romania out!

I heard that some Polish SJWs get offended by being called "Eastern European"

If only they put as much energy into improving the country as they do into getting offended

There was a Romanian in my CR chapter

He talked a lot like Vee

what you think “cooperating with Russia” looks like

what it actually looks like

^

pls no bully Romania

😣

@Jacob I agree that hostility to Russia is silly, but when people say Eastern Europe they mean Byzantine influenced Orthodox countries that were descended from the Kievan Rus. Poland is none of those, plus it is geographically in the center of Europe

Every world power is selfish. America would eat up smaller countries if it could, too. The trick is creating a mutually beneficial partership so they have no need to do that. @Alex Kolchak - NY

Ukraine had that for a while, until their government chose to pick a fight with Russia and play victim

@Virgil The way I understand it is that Eastern Europe is Slavic + heavily Slavic influenced countries. Sure, Poland is different from East Slavs, but it definitely has more in common culturally with Russia than Germany.

Putin isn't a white nationalist, he's a russian nationalist. He can be expected to like us when we aren't the dominant power in the west, and to turn on us the moment we are, unless us attaining predominant influence coincides with china getting really out of control and wanting to gang up against them.

I don't necessarily disagree with that

Great job making member of the month @Argument of Perigee

+1. this is something a lot of people forget

Russians’ concept of race and Russian identity is not just Russian=white

or even Russian=European

Did anyone else hear about Hiembach getting thrown out of the NSM lol

to be fair my concept is a bit more complex than that too @Alex Kolchak - NY

I don't like pan Europeanism

of course, just like I acknowledge that America is not historically a purely- white country

I like it to the extent that it prevents brother wars

but I’m against trying to lump all of Europe into one identity

maybe even “distant cousin” wars.. but still, family
