I don't think the Nazis legitimately viewed Slavs as another race or subhuman. It was a political narrative only.
Germans wanted to expand, towards the West was too difficult, while in the East there were lesser developed groups. So they created the subhuman narrative to take their land. They...
The original Indo-Europeans came from Ukraine. Lol, if the Nazi regime survived to this day and saw the latest genetic studies they would not consider Slavs as untermenschen. They would be more racist towards the French, Iberians, and Italians.
I know, but they view Poland not as their close brothers like they do with Belarus and Ukraine.
It is more threatening for Russia if Belarus and Ukraine became like Poland.
I think this NATO stuff is not the real threat. The real threat for Russia is to have a functioning East Slavic country...
Another overlooked reason:
- It is a threat to Russia to have an East Slavic country with a Western political system and living standards similar to Poland next to Russia (Poland is twice as rich per capita). It would make ethnic Russians think ''we could have been just like them if we adopt...
Many of the rightwing populist parties in Europe are neutral on Russia.
It would be funny if Muslims across Northern and Western Europe are forced to vote for rightwing populist parties as ''ain't nobody got time for World War III''.

I just listened to samples of each and I changed my mind. 😁
Best sounding:
1. Serbo-Croatian/Bosnian
2. Russian
Worst sounding:
1. Czech
2. Polish
@Molotoff
Is it true that Russian is more understandable to South Slavs because of Old Church Slavonic influence in it compared to Ukrainian (less intelligible to South Slavs)?
PS. Russian is the best sounding Slavic language in my opinion. Polish the worst one. :lol:
@TekNiKo
I was just watching this, highly informative video about why Russia is the way it is:
TL;DR Russia is basically the successor to the Mongol Empire in spirit (highly authoritarian).
Ukraine is essentially a proxy war between Western civilization (Europe) vs Sino-Russian (Mongol)...
The Soviet president at the time of the Ogaden war was an ethnic Ukrainian:
Leonid Brezhnev
I think he would support Ukraine today if he was born as a zoomer and was alive today.
Anyhow, I don't think you can link the Soviets to today's Russia. The political ideology has changed. They are now...
Jews had a religion that kept them as a group for hundreds of years.
If Habeshas or Swahilis take over Somalia and make the first language of the people either Amharic or Swahili then in a few hundred years there will not be a Somali speaking diaspora or even people identifying as Somali at...
People kept underestimating him.
It is just about Crimea.. then it was just about Luhansk, then Donesk.. then the troops near the border are just a scare tactic bro ...then just about installing a puppet government in Ukraine ..then just annexing all of Ukraine
.....and then God knows what...
