Imagine something mixed of Germany, Ukraine, Finland and France.That's what this country feels like.
>FranceExplain please. I am curious.
>>217190341Non.
>Germany
>>217190370Volga Germans
>>217190370Russia is more liveable than Germany btw
>>217190304Nobody really knows what the fuck Ukraine is like tho
>>217190370I could replace it with Japan, but stick to Germany. Yes, we share something in common.>>217190416We know. Imagine like Southern-Eastern Europeans. Then mix it wit Poland and the landscapes and surroundings of Ukraine. You will get that eventually.
>>217190304you forgot mongolia
>>217190304True.I always consider my country to be sort of a mix of Germany, Russia and Iran
>>217190416It's like Poland + Russia but has a autoimmune disease where it rejects both and tears itself apart. The time I spent with these people, I don't understand them at all.
Russia is the result of applying a North Korea vector to uzbekistan
>>217190370German nobility ruled over Russia for centuries
>>217190631>It's like Poland + RussiaI will never understand where this comes from, other than historical context that doesn't apply to current reality.They have almost nothing in common with us and are 99% the same as Russians
>>217190692>>217190370>Germans are madAdded to the butthurt belt.
>>217190738It's just a conjecture I can't put it in words. I have been volunteering there for a few months. For all intents and purposes it is like some stuck in times commie russia but different, interacting with the people I can't tell where animosity comes from. When I wen't back to Lithuania I am still confused why the fuck this war started in the first place.
>>217190631>It's like Poland + RussiaYeah that's what I'm saying. Russia/Poland would be the known reference points there.
>>217190852>>217190631They're also something more "south". Something sharing in between of Balkan and Southern Russia.
>>217190852It's hard for me to tell it's a very complicated matter. For what I know with respect to Ukrainians the whole country is some kind of frankenstein monster or empty vessel that can be stuffed with everything you like, it is like they don't have a direction or compass it is just all a solar storm I don't know I am not some historian, politician or whatever.
>>217191019That doesn't tell much, russia is too big, balkans I don't care. I just hope you won't try to make our shared history a common one, I am not privy on that.
>>217190304Why are we catching strays here? I don't think we have that much common with Russia
>>217191189I already know about the country and dont care to learn more, please stop explaining. I was just autistically trying to criticize OP's comparison since Ukraine is much less relevant. Thank you for your attention.
>>217191302You don't like we don't. Drinking and sauna aside.
>>217191302You're braindead if you don't see any similarities.
>>217191329Donald Trump please take a more nuanced view on the situation, thank you.
>>217190304you know what's common between all the countries mentioned? we are all shit
>>217191400In many ways, Finland is the opposite of Russia. Russia is big, corrupt and incompetent
>>217190304Sounds like a fun culture.
>>217190416Ukrainian national identity revolves around Ukraine not being Russia but also being the original Russia. Apart from that, it is culturally identical to Russia.They also have a government-sponsored LARP where they pretend to speak Ukrainian (in reality they all speak Russian and consume Russian media) and pretend that Ukrainian is its own language (in reality, replacing vowels in Russian with 'i' at random will get you 75% of the way to speaking Ukrainian)
>>217196665dumb mutt
>>217190304none of those fit
>>217196686I'm right you know
>>217196665There is a map of lexical similarity between tongues where Russian wordstock has more similarity with Serbian than Ukrainian. That's because for a long time Church Slavonic wasn't even thought of a diffrent language in Moscovia. Ukrainain was more "pure", but also more polonized.
Also Nigeria
>>217190416>what the fuck Ukraine is like thoIt's just a rebellious province if Russia.
>>217199139>rebellious provinceI know exactly what you're talking about.
ukrainians appeared as result of colonization of the wild steppe territory by russians + interbreeding with the local population
>>217199222you know what they call a fenno-ukrainian in russia? tsar
>>217190304nazi germany + nazi ukraine + nazi finland + occupied france
>>217190304also add caucasians and central asians in there
>>217190304Russia is a opposite of Europe, nothing similar Russia is central asian
>>217201454
>>217201454thisRussians see nothing wrong with invading other countries and slaughtering the civilian populationWe don't do this
>>217201473>Implying Belarusian and Ukrainian cultures are different from Russian cultureKek.>>217201484>tf>tpDon't know if it's irony or stupidity.
>>217201653Yes they are kek. They are fighting for European values that you hateRussian culture is closer to central asia and africa
>>217201689>European valuesEuropean values stayed in 19 century.They're fighting for satanic anti-christian values.
>>217201728You are stayed in 19 century
How is this thread still alive?Holy... /int/ became slow as fuck.
>>217201829You are welcome. Let's discuss the military doctrine of Russia as constitutionally prescribed. What is it?
>>217190304lollmao
>>217190341they have that whole mopey>existance is le... miserable...thing going on
The Soviet Union thought education was important to prevail over the West (turned out they were wrong, a nice fit suit, business buzzwords and expensive hair gel is more important).So they have extremely educated poor people now, smart enough to fully grasp the extent of their suffering. Very grim, Hell on earth.Genius hackers, though.
