100 present day South Koreans will have 6 great-grandchildren total. That's an extinction level event. Ofcourse if the current trends continue.

The largest country in Europe is not European? The EU doesn't have the monopoly on being European or European values.

And those countries were very much economically interdependent.

From what I remember from school, both Slovak and Serbo-Croatian (maybe all Slavic languages?) have this thing where "R" is behaving kinda like a vowel but it's not a vowel. Can't remember what it is called though.

So those that spread hate against Russians can now just say they are calling for violence against the Russian government. It's a cop out.

Who started burning books in Cyrillic, firing Serb people from government jobs, fighting in the streets and killing those Croats that were for peace at the start? Whose president refused EC brokering and monetary help but only if Yugoslavia

Donetsk and Lughansk also declared independence years ago, only now is Russia doing something other than financial/military support.

This is so false that I don't know where to begin. Maybe it's best at the end, when in 2004 after all the wars, when UN and NATO troops were actually stationed there, a pogrom of a minority happened just because the majority heard

There most certainly is a country of Belarus, just like there's the country of North Korea. And 60% is not that much to be honest.

It's not cynical, it's exactly what was happening. It was the police that was cracking down on terrorists, not army. Army only became involved with NATO involment. And before you say that Albanian guerilla organizations were not t

It's not arguing about nameing, it's about command line of control. Serb Republic ním Bosnia was a completely different entity than the Republic of Serbia. I mean, Serbia even put sanctions on Serb Republic during some period of t

And oh, I forgot about this part. >And were immediately annexed by Russia? How independent is that? Who's the new cultural head of these independent republics? They were not immediately annexed, no. Russia didn't even recognize

>You mentioned that this cannot be said for a lot of EU countries. Turks born in EU do not have to learn German. Immigration within EU is free from language requirement too. So Turks in Germany can have schools in Turkish for their child

It very clearly is an insult against people because of their nationality but I discovered these days that online communities are a lot more accepting of such statements. >I mean, except Putin talking about how Ukraine is fake nation that

Exactly, imperial powers don't care about Albanians, Russians, Ukrainians or whomever, it's naive to think that.

>How can you believe this? Which part of Ukraine declared independence? Didn't those two breakaway republics declare independence? >Well, if your country is in EU, the citizens of EU are not forced to learn any language, even if

I was using a personal anecdote what happens when some foreigners sanction "our" nation, so I used UEFA as an example. It's a similar mentality when it comes to other kinds of sanctions waged against "our" nation. &

It's not temporary, or it depends on what time scale do you define "temporary". >“no matter what your government says, nobody supports you” Exactly my point, people at this point flock toward their country not against it.

Maybe not the leader, but around the country itself. Even people that were vehemently against the leader were deeply against "the West". >Start an actual war to depose the leader (not always turning out great, and I'm assu

>NATO bombing was not really out of the blue. The head of Yugoslavia was a similar mad man, just warring out of desperation. Nobody said it was out of the blue, but it was illegal, wrong and plain terrorist like. >The best proof one h

Mostly yes. That's certainly why the Russian narrative won in Russia and Belarus. Propaganda/media is one of the most useful ways to steer a population, it even doesn't have to be particularly good propaganda if its voluminou

That's not a source that tells Serbia committed a genocide, because such source doesn't exist. Ethnic Serbs in Bosnia are a different thing, same as ethnic Bosniak in Serbia are a different thing. Also I found it telling that used

What does ethnicity have to do with anything? Nothing even hinted that Russia is interested expanding beyond Ukraine, and not even the whole of Ukraine. So like I've said, it's fear mongering by our politicians to keep people livi

It was not. Serbia was establishing order within its territory when NATO bombed it without any approval from the UN, basically doing something just because they could. Remind you of anyone?

Not true. Tell me, if Google banned you from all their services because you only lived somewhere and you were a "soft liberal", would you support Google in their decision or would you dig in and go the other way? Or in more simple

There is absolutely nothing to suggest that Russia is interested in anything other than Ukraine. Everything else is just fear mongering, atleast Slovak media does that well.

Not really, that doesn't seem to have that much bearing. I still remember Western news about Serbia during the Kosovo conflict where Serbia was doing basically what Ukraine is doing now.
