Apparently our Muslim brother is still salty over how Czechoslovakia armed the Jews in 1948.

There were also Russians caught organising a subversive paramilitary group with a base and armored vehicles. Either in Czechia or Slovakia.
Awesome. The great northern Slavic alliance.
Maybe we will build our own Yugoslavia one day. A better version of it. A loose confederation with no "Serb domination" equivalent.
I say the Balts are welcome, even despite the Estonian Germanization and Nordic orientation. Lithuania surely so but they just all go together as a single bloc with Latvia and Estonia always. The anti-Russianism connects them so much.
Because what, an Ukrainian protest letter?
Won't. Because it's just a performative protest from a former showman, and apparently you know just nothing about the situation if you think otherwise.
He did the same with NATO once it started (asked them like "so would Ukraine get the membership, maybe you tell already, yes or not" and got no answer of course but at least somewhat embarassed them publicly).
Or in his own words:
"I asked them -- are you with us?" Volodymyr Zelensky said. "They answered that they are with us, but they don't want to take us into the alliance. I've asked 27 leaders of Europe, if Ukraine will be in NATO, I've asked them directly -- all are afraid and did not respond. We were left by ourselves. Who is ready to give Ukraine guarantees of NATO membership? Honestly, everybody is afraid,"
He then, also performatively, unfollowed all the presidents on twitter.
In Poland the Middle East is the Near East (Bliski Wschód).
Wasn't it a British colonial designation, as the region between Europe (east) and India? Then the Far East further east.
It's just meaningless after Cold War.
Switzerland, Finland and Austria were Third World btw.
The 1619 Project leader is not happy seeing people suddenly care about Europeans instead of pocs.
It's their flag.
American SJWs
In an interview with Polish magazine PiXeL, CDPR director dismissed them as just "some dudes from America" about whom and theirs "political correctness" they don't care.
He was asked about the American criticism for not including "the darkskins" (the term used by both the him and the interviewer) in the allegedly "racist" Witcher games: https://i.redd.it/r3o2i0khekdx.jpg
Also he noted they just depicted the world as it was described by Sapkowski, which is ironic since Sapkowski himself later endorsed the N-word adaptation blackwashing by selling himself for money like an alcoholic manwhore he is.
Poland.
Watching their WWII newsreels, I've seen how the Germans often called the Americans "Angloamerikanische".
The war was enthusiastically endorsed by the literal (post)Bolsheviks, the still powerful Communist Party of the Russian Federation (formerly of the Soviet Union). They were supposed to be controlled opposition, just like the "ultranationalist" Liberal Democrats of Zhirinovsky's, but like him they've ceased to be even any opposition at all.
I guess I'll remember the American "right wingers" who sided with "GRE" (or just USSR).
"The Anglo-Saxons" are mentioned 6 times despite having been abolished by the Norman-Breton invasion almost 1,000 years ago.
Moscow didn't even exist back then.
They're sending in the Belarusians, perhaps to open another front. It's going to their very own Italians except even less motivated.
They've been preparing for many months (years actually) and yet it still wasn't enough. Like with huge logistical problems (including with fuel) despite being not even very far from the border. Evidently thought a demonstration of force would be all that was needed. Also many regulars look unmotivated or just confused or embarassed (but there also apparently the enthusiastic ones, like the Chechens doing their typical swagger). The whole thing is just awkward. The seps are apparently acting alone and are a complete sideshow.
Honestly I don't know. The Americans have predicted they would collapsed already but actually the Russians didn't go in full force yet.
Meanwhile the Turkish made drones are bullying the Russian made air defense systems, just as they have done in all their previous wars before since their debut in Syria but now against the ones manned by Russian regulars. Poland's certainly going to buy many more now.
And what's strange about it?

Also I see a highly relevant surname lol
Because none of them were in an armed conflict, see. Also have pulled out the necessary reforms first and went through all the milestones needed.
Back in 1990 even the Soviet Union wanted to join. The late Gorbachev era was a weird time, in Poland we've been unironically singing a pop song about how cool he was (for an old Soviet).
There were even more stupid stories, like how a Chechen machinegunner killed like 600 or 800 or whatever also at Stalingrad.
Checked - "up to 920" lmao: https://shr32.ru/en/esteticheskaya-stomatologiya/nacionalnyi-geroi-hanpasha-kak-pulemetchik-nuradilov/
Kh.Nuradilov received his first real baptism of fire near the village of Zakharovka in Ukraine. December 6, 1941, remaining one of his crew, being wounded, stopped the offensive of a whole division of the Nazis.
Many such cases!
The name of Khanpashi thundered on all fronts. Legends were made about him, all the newspapers wrote about him.
Yeah, I can see.
NATO can expand all they want
They didn't want.
This is perhaps the problem, but they just didn't want to. It's been decades since Ukraine first asked, long before the conflict began and since this moment couldn't join because such as the written rules.
The West seriously dropped the ball in the Yeltsin days when they didn't take the opportunity to build the Russian Federation into a powerful ally
What sort of coddling and enabling of "our Russian partners" wasn't done by the countries such as Germany in particular but also for example America or Britain during the 1990s?
You'd think there was a crisis during the rule of Schroeder at the end of the 1990s, but then he went to become paid Russian lobbyist to this day.
You're halfway somewhere to discover something about WWI Armenian front.
