but idk maybe they have reasons

that’s understandable, though

the Russian Empire wasn’t kind to Poland and the Baltics

njet molotoff! njet molotoff!

I saw anime girls

you saw nothing

nothing to see here

it's just a coincidence

and historically, that region is its own thing. The P-L Commonwealth went from the Baltics to the Balkans at one point

ya sure there Jose? you better not be fooly coolying around or anything

the term is “intermarium” - “between the seas.” It wasn’t meant to be a Russian territory

is this an episode of democracy ruins a country? this is an episode of how the sjem ruined Poland

@Salo Saloson i'm pretty sure no anime girls were posted in this channel *instinctive friction between insides of upper appendages intensifies*

democracy, when not restrained by voter qualifications, can absolutely ruin a country

@Alex Kolchak - NY ok tbqh Ukraine is historically Russian clay, and there are many reasons for this

Ukraine, possibly

I mean, it was literally Kievan Rus

Polish people I will concede possibly might be better off independent

but the Baltics and Poland are concerned that they’re next

Quick nooblord question here, just got an e-mail invite to the Slack Workspace for IE South Central region, what is this about? (I'm a new member.)

plz help

at this point does it matter if something is "historically" country X clay or not?

uhhhhhhhhhh

I believe finland should belong to the Russian empire

😛

oh, it does, believe me. People in Central/Eastern Europe *really* know their history

my gf is Polish and she’ll tell you the whole story going back to uhh 900 AD or so

it’s like genetic memory

@Alex Kolchak - NY are you ethnically slavic?

yes, half Russian

as a russian i know we have beef with Poland

I won't make the joke

but some of us are thinking it

>le certain percentage

no, not that

go for it

I’m not sensitive

well we can't

it's against the rules

ohhhh that one

i'm out of the loop
