@alexatlantov4569 I suggest you take a look at what Poland-Lithuania looked like before the Commonwealth was partitioned. As TIK succinctly described at the outset Central and Eastern Europe were, and to some extent still are, a mess of interpenetrating ethnicities. The Baltics are not Russia, Belarus is not Russia, Ukraine is not Russia. If Lenin had stuck with Russia and as far as possible let the "Near Abroad" go i.e. pursued a real ethnicities/nationalities policy instead of the sham that he did, perhaps Poland could have sat back. It couldn't. Besides its territorial claims were as just as those of the Russians: Belarus and Ukraine were Commonwealth territory until the partitions after all. I presume you are a Slav of some description; "Ukraine" and "Krajina" both derive from "Borderland" as we say in English i.e disputed territory. I think the inhabitants of all those states/regions just wish their neighbours, ALL OF THEM, would just bugger off and mind their own business.

@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 Dunno where you get the idea we are besties from. With "friends" like you lot, no one needs enemies.

You'll probably understand the problem a lot better than most, coming from another non-nation, multi-ethnic, state that has endured the stupidities of "statesmen" from far and wide pratting about with a culture they don't, and don't seem to want to, understand.

@robert48044 The French beat us; only to rupture themselves so much as to have their state collapse in revolution and civil war a couple of decades later.
