Sarmatia Europe - Could it be political reality?

Well... Crow has a mission in his life. He lives for a cause... and its not that bad.

so do most people, but they are more.......how should I say it: realistic.

Disscussing something which may never come to fruition is a LOST CAUSE IMO.

Well...read abit more. Its not that good. Not just with Serbia.

Well...it's better than most other histories!
It wasn't Germany which led most european wars or conquered many colonies..

And for the Balkan region especially....here a short history...look how often the Germans appear:

Chronical History

330 BC: founding of Constantinopel (=Istanbul, Turkey).
395 BC: Divore of the Roman Empire (In the West and East Roman Empire).
6-7th century: The Slaves enter the area and settle.
865: The Bulgarians accept the Christian religion.
1204: Constantinopel plundered during the fourth Crusade.
1389: 28the June: The mythic battle of Kosovo Polje, Serbian price Lazar murdered.
1402: Edirne (Adrianopolis) is becoming the new capital of The Ottaman Empire.
1463: Ottomans conquers Bosnia.
1683: Ottoman try to conquer Vienna (Wien-Austria), but they fail.
1683: Ottoman Empire on it's biggest despite the second fail of conquering Vienna.
1736-39: Russian/Austrian-Turkish war.

See the rest at: General history of the Balkans

To say from that that the Germans were the "Bane" of Serbia is...erm....quite creative, don't you think?

Actually Germans could made a case for Serbians being the "bane" of Europe...with their Princip assassination being the spark that set the powder keg Europe on fire whose aftermath led to the rise of Hitler....

LOST CAUSE IMO

Many of us live for no cause... some of us are wage slaves, food gatherers...surviving the life through...

I believe that Crow's cause may not be well directed...well explained... or well managed.... but he dreams... maybe one day it will get smoothened... oneday it will be a mature dream...maybe among his children (the little crows). And then, a realistic and peaceful and progressive Slavic Union might even be formed :)... which might add a new dimention to this world. This union might bring about more diversity, love, economic success and friendship not only in europe, among europeans....but with asians (as their are slavs there too)....and extending into Africa or America too.... Australia etc. For a good cause.

I know what I just said is silly in many ways to many.... however its what MIGHT happen....if the dream even gets realised....

When wheel was first invented, it was a rough sphere. Then it got a round disk shape.... smoothened.... got rubber .... then tyre.... then a proper road....and then....here we are. :)...

I dont encourage dream breaking :) ...however wild it be.

How about the "Lebensraum"-dream by the Nazis...would you had let them be too?

The first step must be taken by the accused neighbour though. Think with logic here Bratwurst.

Well...Crow still denies any wrongdoings by his people...crying the victim all the time..all the massacres and ethnic cleansing just "false western" media manipulation...he is far from reconciliation as long as he doesn't even admit that Serbia has only itself to blame for their misery!

as long as he is not out of touch with reality. For me anything extreme smells like trouble.

Not that wild...

See... what I mean is that the dream will materialise if it gets directed properly...gets matured and smoothened.... managed and placed properly.

The German dream was not well directed...it became toxic and created a monster. It was not a dream...it was a journey towards a nightmare.

What I mean to say is that....the concept of a union can be a dream worth seeing....if the young of tommorow are given some guidance...on what people actually want.

To tell you the truth ... people I see around dont hate Germany. However, they dont appreciate it either. They like to talk avoiding Germany... specially the youth. But then, I emphasize...they dont hate you. Sometimes its over tuned in here... but yes, the element of avoiding is there (maybe that fuels these feelings).

People are looking for progress these days... people are looking for peace.... I see men and women in poland take interest in other cultures.... they take interest in other races....other languages....other folk stories...other economics....the wish to learn, accept, understand is so much greater and increasing. The curiosity just seems to be escalating as an equal pace as that of inventions in the modern world.

However....the feeling towards a brotherhood... a 'people' do make people think a second (out of their precious 24 hours). So...such kind of a nation....such kind of trend....makes me think that this DREAM is only to be successful with a proper persuit for it.

Hope this will clear your misunderstanding.

Yup...that's exactly what Crow's dream is! Why do you think he doesn't answer most questions about the true character of his "slavic alliance"??? Just substitute "slavic" with "aryan" and you will see what it is in truth...

You don't have to tell a German how seductive such a "dream" can be...But we know better than anybody how harsh the awakening will be, and it WILL come...no doubt about it!

To tell you the truth I don't know with which people you associate but all polls and world wide surveys say the contrary!
Germany is a well liked and respected country, especially with the youth. Maybe you should go out more? :)

Maybe you spotted something that indicates that...

But yes, many rough edges... many!

Its all about the direction... i think. a SLAVIC UNION.... if we isolate those two words from all other ideas and concepts.... and say that 'SLAVIC UNION' is his dream. Then we can think of it as a dream....which might have a chance to be properly and ideally come to life....adding a mark of life, peace and solutions. A step towards an even broader horizon....opening a door to an even bigger horizon. Uniting people and hearts....

I am talking about direction here.

Well I do go out alot. I am quite social enough (just, in the positive way :) ).

I mean about Poland....when I gave that phrase. Germany is not most well liked. I dont think its right to conclude there. Economy is good... people people dont consider it that highly. So many factors here... I know what I said.

Alot of factors work together on attitudes and behaviours. Attitude does not neccessarily complement behaviour and vice-versa. Many factors make actions which dont reflect conditions so accuritely.

why not. i don't see anything wrong with calling somebody on something which doesn't make sense. Blame it on the anglo saxon logic I seem to prefer:) and I am in majority on that.

Germany Tops Global Popularity Poll

When it comes to having a positive influence on world affairs, Germany tops the list. A poll found that more than nearly three out of five people see Germany's influence as "mainly positive."

Germany is not just seen as an economic powerhouse, but as a positive force in world affairs, according to poll results released Wednesday, April 2.

Germany came out ahead of 23 other countries, winning a 56 percent positive assessment by the 17,000 people surveyed. The survey was conducted for the BBC World Service.

Sorry...I couldn't let that one stay...:)

It seems the romantic Slavic mindset is in decline. Soon the Crows of the world will be extinct and we shall live in fear within our own country and ancient territories. We shall lose all touch with our cultures and just be another secular agragate with no identity. Hopefully I will be pushing daisies by then too.

Crow makes some points,however he presents his case not for western audience but for slavic audience,that is why there are so many misconceptions.

You cannot build something lasting based on hate and fear Crow, let me tell you that!

you mistaking. After Germany took part in bloody dissolution of Yugoslavia, i can do whatever i want, any Serb can

Crow makes some points,however he presents his case not for western audience but for slavic audience

romantic

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism thing of the past. Even then somebody had to bake bread and feed people, so they can dream with full stomachs. No, I am not romantic at all.

Will it be a 'Parliamentary Democracy', a monarchy, will it be ruled by a 'strong man'...What do you have in mind?

How about you?

Which bloodline do you have in mind for the throne?

Somebody would be needed to get out this concept from the sea of utopia. So... I have pretension to the throne! :)

What you think about 'Parliamentary Monarchy' in this situation?

I could not stand those populist clowns in parliament. Unless monarch would be allowed to elect whole parliament himself? :)

EU sistem isn`t formed in order to make Slavs richer but to control them

Not exactly, this is system projected to control everybody, Orwellian reality.

56 percent positive assessment

People still think about this old Germany, they are not aware of current state affairs.

The blame for Hitler sits squarely on the shoulders of Germany.

Well...he didn't came out of a vacuum!
Without WWI Hitler would had probably stayed a failed painter...and WWI...

Anyway, just a good way to show Crowie how idiotic his Feindbild is.

Sorry Lodz!
I just had to show you..NEW YORK, September 24, 2008 - GfK Roper Public Affairs & Media, a division of GfK Custom Research North America, today announced results from the 2008 Anholt-GfK Roper Nation Brands IndexSM (NBI) report. :)

gfkamerica.com/newsroom/current_pr/index.en.html

Germany is viewed as the best overall "brand", receiving the highest ranking of the 50 nations measured.

1. Germany
2. France
3. United Kingdom
4. Canada
5. Japan
6. Italy
7. United States
8. Switzerland
9. Australia
10. Sweden

11. Spain
12. Netherlands
13. Norway (tie)
14. Austria (tie)
15. Denmark
16. Scotland
17. New Zealand
18. Finland
19. Ireland
20. Belgium

The index is based on a survey in which respondents from across 20 major developed and developing countries are asked to rate their agreement with statements about each nation.
The statements cover six categories: Exports, Governance, Culture, People, Tourism and Immigration/Investment. The NBI ranking is based on the average of these six scores.

...you really should go out more Lodz! :)

I understood you very well...because you might dislike Germany you think the world has to too! You aren't the only Pole I came about here on this forum who really couldn't believe that outside your little world full of Germanophobia people around the world like, admire and respect Germany! And it isn't only about economics or consumers, the poll before was all about "positive influence in the world"...and here Germany tops too!

Sorry for you Lodz! :)

PS: It's mostly the same people who thinks the sun shines out of Polands arse...

Rank Country (NBI 2008)[3] Score

1 Germany 67,4
2 France 67,3
3 United Kingdom 66,8
4 Canada 66,3
5 Japan 66,1
6 Italy 65,9
7 United States United States 65,5
8 Switzerland 64,9
