Who were the slaves? And who were the buyers?
Nah.....I'm not a lefty Hippie at all....I just have something against all that religious conversion....all people today fearing a muslim takeover....well, they are the modern pagans, heh:)
A REAL European is/was a pagan....everything else had been imported from far away places...the Middle East no less....it's not native to Europe, to Europeans, never has been....just saying!
(but more of that and the Admin removes us)

I guess it's because English isn't his native language either so he uses words and sentencens and expressions which make it easy for another non-native like me to read and understand...I liked it! :)

A good read! :)
Could it have something to do with the reason why the germanic people back then were called "niemcy" meaning mute? That would make much more sense than "slave"!
I still love the visuals of the Teutonic Order (not their politics!), even as I must say that Christianity was brought quite forcefully to the pagan Germanics back then too. Who could forget the massacres (beheadings) and enforced mass relocations of the Saxons!
End of Chapter I - Written by Kashub1410 - in the early morning of 04.07.2022 CE

(it is unknown wether the word slave derives from the slavic word "słowo" meaning "word"

News / Poland, Western Europe and the USA - What if Ukraine disappears from the map? [78]
....that sounds so not like a re-unification of a brother-people, as you stated before!
We know how that looks like.....the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989.....or even Hitler riding into Vienna for the Anschluß.....just compare the pictures then with Ukraine now and you see the differences!
Well Crowie....without that invasion in Ukraine NATO would be still lying low....fighting for every Penny...asking itself what that all is about....and not even think about any enlargement in the Baltics, no encirclement of Russia at all....
Get the order of events right!

My personal analysis: Nobody in the West gave a flying f*uck about Chechnya (as unfair as it is), the situation couldn't be more different in Ukraine.
If Putin thought he could handle Ukraine as he did Chechnya, well...that was a horrific miscalculation.
Just look at NATO.....never been bigger....never been more unified.....never having more money and modern weapons....never been more popular in the populations.....and soon Russia is really encircled, with NATO at all fronts.
The from the Kremlin sold reason for this war that NATO came "to near" has developed into a joke!
Take Chechnya. Changes came.
.....to such an extent that Ukrainians will give up, like the Chechens did.

Would you be okay with getting Crimea/Donbas (the russian pockets) in peace negotiations? And leaving the rest of Ukraine (the majority) alone for good?

.....sometimes I just fear many of them don't think that far....never try to put themselves into their enemy's shoes.
The Russians have always prided themselves for not giving up to the german forces in WWII, for not giving in....keep on fighting with all means available! The civilian resistance has become legendary.
But now they believe other people, Ukrainians, will just give up....lay down belly up and become brave subjects to a hostile, foreign, brutal invader....WHY????
No thought about the "after", the much more difficult time when guns and tanks are not working anymore....they might win the war but definitely lose the peace....and that has never ended well for any occupier!

Agreed! But not impossible....
I have learned from posters like Iron that there still exist polish grievances and resentments as in cases like Lwow....it would need a leader building on that, stoking it for a long time though....someone like Putin. Not an opressive foreigner but a national "patriot" helping Poland to get it's place at the "sun" back....you know the drill!

Of course it is.....one must be very sure to act differently in the same situation to show such a righteous rage!
Not only be sure of one self but knowing that the whole people will do what is right in such a situation.
Maybe that's why people with a different history, who as a people have failed in such a situation, like Germans, lack this righteous rage and show more "understanding"....it's also psychological.

Well....if "your team" is winning it's tough for any opposition....even if you have your own doubts....they are silenced by all the cheer around you....who doesn't like the "home team" winning, no matter if in the right or in the wrong.....
That too is basic human psychology! *shrugs*
Imagine for a moment Poland acting like Russia....invading western Ukraine for some historical reasons/grievances whatever....probably using the "Banderists" too as a kind of justification....getting some old territory/town back....
How many Poles would agree....would even cheer every success of the polish army....would you also so openly here disagree and fight the polish leadership?
Do you think the Poles as a people would try to overturn the polish government from the streets to end this invasion? Or wouldn't here too a majority agree or at least stay silent? What do you think?
In the same way as common Germans were overjoyed upon taking Paris in 1940.
