Poles and Lithuanians can't name 1 (one) disadvantage to reuniting, but they refuse to do it
The same goes with Netherlands and Belgium
>>217211362Caring about imaginary borders inside eu is gay.Nigga, aside from POOtin no-one cares about borders, I can freely travel live and work in any eu country, how the fuck is it any different if its poland Lithuania Germany or whatever the fuck you want to name it.I know its hard for you 3rdies to understand those concepts
>>217211362There's unironically no good connection, in a logistics sens.Lithuania has soviet train tracks that are incompatible with normal trains we use.Ther's 1 not particualry well developed highway along the otherwise fucked up swamp
>>217211362What is the advantage for Lithuanians?Poles are poorer, less advanced, browner and scammier. Theres literally no benefit to join that while you have the world leading laser industry
>>217211438EU is cringe neoliberal globalist sovlessness thoughever.Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was SOVLful and occupied moskau
The "Lithuania" that Poland was united in the past was mostly Belarus
>>217211575Trvke
>>217211516rail baltica is being built to address this problem tho
>>217211438You just posted the greatest argument for closed borders
>>217211575I still love you
>>217211575nah, Belarus is pretty much irrelevantLithuania = Vilnius and where Vilnius is?
>>217211642"Lithuanians" didn't live in Vilnus before WW2 (it was mostly Jewish like every big city of the region).It was basically the capital of Belarusian national identety and mentioned in our history books and literature more than Minsk or any other big town.
>>217211575We love you too xoxo
stop roleplaying Hetalia
>>217211362>1 (one) disadvantageugly borders without kaliningrad or belarus
>>217211362old Lithuania != modern "Lithuania" you illiterate ape
>>217212556Without oinkraine and Moldova it's still ugly
>>217211575this
>>217211782>it was mostly Jewish like every big city of the region).ok so it looks like Polish-Israeli union is actually a more reasonable thing to pursue...
>>217211642>Kosciuszko, Mickiewicz, Oginski, Ignacy Domejko, Lew Sapiega, Czeslaw Niemen, Stanislaw MoniuszkoAnd it what just came to mind. There are dozens of times more such people even if they are not as significant to polish history. All of them were born or spent most of their lives on belarus territory and many of them are ethnic belarusians even if polonized. We are actually connected by many things
>>217212911funniest thing is that they're important only to Poles, maybe with the small exception of Oginski. The rest is completely unknown in Belarus and 9/10 Belarussians couldn't say who they were and what they did.Meanwhile every Belarussian could list 10 famous Russians from east of the Ural even though they have never been to Belarus and never cared about Belarus.
>>217213046Kosciusko childhood homehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6bd3BZkNQMickiewicz birthplacehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etpLaLFuO_kMickiewicz museum in Novogrudok where he lived and workedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HH6WkKmC2sOginsky manorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXMh352kaLAMonuments to Sapieha and Moniuszkohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VilG-CyourEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsdIhb9Em2s
>>217213356just because there is a museum somewhere doesn't mean that average people know anything about themsince they only spoke Polish, their culture is inaccessible to modern Belarussians, unlike Russian culture It's Pushkin whose poems you learn by heart, not those of Mickiewicz.It's Pugacheva the songs of you listen to, not Niemen.It's Tchaikovski who is the best known classical composer in Belarus, not Moniuszko etc. etc, even though none of these Russians had anything to do with Belarus and some probably never visited it.
>>217213046What surprises me more is that compared to Poland, Belarus has produced almost no great people for Russia. There is Zhores Alferov ( scientist) Pavel Sukhoi (aircraft designer) Andrey Gromyko (Head of the USSR MFA) a few cosmonauts also Chagall and Malevich but they are not exactly heroes of the Russian pantheon and that's it. There should be many more of them, given our cultural commonality,but for some reason there aren't.
>>217213640Yes that's correct. This is because for 99.9% of belarusians russian is native language and they grew on soviet and russian culture
>>217213870and that's why we wouldn't make a union with you and we don't consider you "Lithuania", sorry. You made your choice.
>>217213771>Belarus has produced almost no great people for Russiabecause "great people" usually come from the elites and elites in Belarus were of non-Belarussian origin mostly so they created great people for other nations (mostly for Poland and Israel/US), not for Russia.
>>217213640Well in belarusian literature classes we reading "Pan Tadeusz" in belarusian translation. And in belarusian history classes schoolbooks put a huge focus on the people we talked about but i think that's mostly because there isn't realy else to talk about kek
>>217213909You're right of course. But modern Republic of Lithuania is also a far away from the Old Litva which was a multi national melting pot of cultures and religions not a nation state of ethnic baltic Lithuanians
>>217214235but at least they feel connected to their history and heritage + European values PLC stood for
>>217214300yeah i agree with you about that
>>217211542You got everything backwards. And you're likely a shithuanian theif in Sweden.
