in every other post, not realizing that Poland is not the center of world.
Where did I claim that Poland is "the center of world", you maniac? lol Of course it isn't, but I'm a Polish patriot and I live in Poland so, obviously, Poland is "the center" of my world.
he means , you the Google savants
In what way am I being "ungrateful"?
who arrogantly assume that you represent opinion of majority of the Polish population.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, you'd have to elaborate on that.
Polish self-determination century ago - totally different matter.
Totally different matter precisely because it was over a century ago - different times, different world.
In case of Crimea it wasn't the Polish case (or Czechoslovak or Bulgarian, Yugoslav, Romanian etc.) but the case of Yugoslavia that was decisive. After Yugoslavia (and then Kosovo) post-war borders were no longer sacred and - like dominoes - here's the sh*t at which we arrive today.
None of the cases you meant changed borders... they changed the political affiliation without challenging borders themselves. Even the invasion of Crimea didn't do that.
Even putin's claim to oblasts that russia does not currently hold changes those borders.
Oh, you mean the border changes were only internal? But still: the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the secession of Kosovo, the unification of Germany, the separation of Czechia and Slovakia - there were too many changes of borders in late 20th century in Europe and it opened Pandora's Box. I guess the Kosovo case was the worst - it was assumed that immigrants, if they breed at a higher rate than the locals, can declare independence and secede if they so wish (it doesn't bode well for the future of Europe in general, does it?).
Northern Kazakhstan would be a different case.
Why? If you assume that Kazakhstan and Russia are inside internal post-war Soviet Union borders, then it's no different than Ukraine or Nagorno-Karabakh situation, with lands of former Soviet republics changing ownership between themselves.
Oh, you mean the border changes were only internal?
Yes. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonian, Montenegrin borders are all the same as the Jugoslav republic borders. Even kosovo uses the internal Serbian border.
immigrants, if they breed at a higher rate than the locals
Kosovo has not been Serb majority for well over a hundred years. Serbia wants to control it but not enough Serbs wanted to live there to hang onto it.
I don't know if potential russian aggression in North Kazakhstan would be along internal Kazakh borders or not.
It was a very expensive stunt...but as long as they volunteer to fight and die for that imaginary freedom and democracy let's pretend they are still alive....
the "road of death" in the Kursk region, through which the Ukrainian army retreated to Ukraine. You can see a lot of destroyed Ukrainian equipment, especially armored vehicles.

well, this doesn't look like a retreat, but a total rout.
According to the US Department of Defense, about 250,000 were killed in the European theater, in WW2. Who has given more to who? And when did you ever hear an American complain that Europe didnt give enough aid to the US?
If you think the US needs Germany as a hub, you dont know much about the US military. Look how quickly Rzezow was built up for Ukraine operations. You know what happens when the US closes military bases and brings soldeirs home? The towns and cities built up around them slowly die from a loss of those Americans spending dollars in the community. Careful what you wish for.
There was no NATO during World War II and the US only joined the war after it was attacked by Japan. It was a world war, not just European war. And people were fighting against f*cking EVIL and not for some European interests or for oil. Our grandfathers were fighting not only for their countries, but for a world without Nazis.
If you think the US needs Germany as a hub, you dont know much about the US military.
I don't have to think it - that's the reality - Germany is a hub for the US. Europe is generally a good, safe and stable operational base for the US to protect its interests on this side of the globe. So don't tell me those American bases are in Europe only to protect Europe, because this is bullsh1t.
And when did you ever hear an American complain that Europe didnt give enough aid to the US?
Trumpists complain about Europe ALL THE TIME o_O You behave as if all the US ever did it did for Europe and Europe never did ANYTHING for the US. Sorry, but we will be pointing out that this is not true.
It is said that if Ukraine rejected the peace deal, Russia would go on ahead even further and claim all of Novorossiya, including Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov
Vesko brate, we know how would this finish. The map of Europe and world would be changed absolutely. Countries resized. Some would perish. Some new born. Borders among civilizations drawn.
