I like the russians
>>221332052Why do you think there is high sexual tension between your nations? They like you and you like them, since ages actually.
>>221332206Russia owes me a cute girlfriend
>>221332304Live your myth in Yurevo, New Moscow
>>221331836guess who really liked france a little bit too much
>>221331836I love Russia.I always did and so does most of the people i know.I wish we left that gay ass Union and created something new with them again. Like the good old times.Thats bound to happen anyway with the RN winning in 2027.
>>221331836Aside from them both killing their monarchs I don't see any more similarities
>>221332584He liked dutch the most
>>221331836guess which one of these got massacred in Mali
>>221336021>>221336021How many times you were butchered in abhazia despite them being smaller than your shithole in several times?
>>221335211I'd second this before the war in Ukraine. I think we went too far and it will take a generation or two to have a somewhat normal relationship with Russia. In the meantime, and while it is not something I had wished for, I believe we are better off away from them than close to them.
>>221336072you seem upset
>>221331836This world is a gacha full of NPC nations, while France and Russia are A-tier playable waifus (formerly S-tier, but there has been some serious powercreep from USA and China lately).You have to be in that club to understand.
>>221336177Russia & France
>>221336109Its sad really. These people are like the scots: historical allies we abandonned to kneel to the current hegemon.Russians really unironically do like us more than these back stabbing germans or the other ungrateful slavic shits.When i went to St Petersburg in 2017 i felt like a prince everytime i told locals i was french. Russians are nice people.
>>221336447In which countries are French people actually liked?Russia and Greece for sure, but all the neighbors of France are kind of passive-aggressive cunts (including my flag). Maybe Japan too?
>>221335211Why would you elect nazis and nazi sympathizers ? Do you want to get denazified or something ?
>>221331836They are very similar indeed, but the difference was that France actually was culturaly dominant for a while. Before the XX Century french was the dominant language and culture. The russians themselves wanted to be french and so did most other nations. Hell the most celebrated Prussian Hero (Frederick the Great) didn't wrote a single thing in German, just in french. And that's not even considering the people who moved to France searching for greatness; Marie Curie, Chopin, Picasso, van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, etcRussia was never emulated and few people ever thought of moving to Russia for a better life.
>>221331836Russia is relevant tho
>>221336773We can argue that Russia was also culturally dominant, through USSR and communism, during a large part of the 20th century.
>>221336441Delenda sunt
>>221336792Relevance is subjective
>>221336614>In which countries are French people actually liked?The very few we like in return, and thats enough for us, we're not italians.
>>221336885Other than Cuba and I guess Vietnam (even thought I would argue Vietnam turning communist was more of a chinese achievement) all other communist states became communist by force and military presence of soviet tanks after WWII. They didn't want to become communist, hell, half of them (Germany, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) invaded the USSR to get rid of it, failed and got conquered instead
>>221337005Sure, but Russia still had massive influence there in the end. And even in non-communist countries, communism and the USSR (and Russia by extension) were very seductive for a considerable number of people throughout the world. It's not the same kind of cultural dominance compared to 18th century France, but it's still dominance to me.
>>221335211>with the RN winning in 2027Lol, lmao even
>>221335211>>221337370Isn't Bardella pro-Ukraine?
>>221331836average Dagestani could beat the fuck out of any frogman
