I believe that Ukraine should be part of Russia and that we should have never let them leave our control like they were during the reign of the Soviet Union.
Things were a lot nicer when Russia controlled east Germany and comrade and ex-KGB agent Putin has the best interests of Russia.
April fools
Unironically, yes.
The unified Germany is tyrannizing the rest of Europe.
Like a French statesman once said: I love Germany. I love it so much that I think there should be three Germanies, maybe four.
I have a much better solution and even a reference point in history for Germany.
hint: It's not the Soviets.
Bonaparte?
I must be honest, that's a clever one, you got a chuckle out of me.
Pre-decline imperial germany?
There used to be about 200 and they still ran everything.
Not true! Prussia and Austria were certainly powers to be reckoned with, but nothing like Germany is today. German unification and industrialization really did a number on the European continent.
I was referring to the HRE
I thought so, so that's Austria. Because the HRE was very decentralized (like Voltaire used to exaggerate, neither holy, Roman nor an empire) and the Emperor had very little power. In fact, the French kings continually made alliances with the Rhineland princes in order to fight the Emperor.
I read someone today saying it would have been better for Germany to reunite under East Germany than the other way around.
Probably because then it would not even have happened.
