@durov Interesting, because there's countless documentation of how they run Indian style call-centres luring old European men and women into scams.

@Will_Tanner_1 Most other battles around the world were documented by the Europeans as well. Without us the rest of the world wouldn't have as much documented history, as they do.

A leftist posted this on my S-bstack feed today to argue that Europeans are peculiarly violent…I pointed out that it is rather that Europeans figured out written language, and so can honor their ancestors and remember their battles, and he got very mad
Apparently Africans were uniquely peaceful until they made it into American cities

@visegrad24 This would be up there for the most dysfunctional alliances of all time.
English

An Intermarium version which includes the Intermarium’s allies in the north, the south and the Visegrad Group countries in Central Eastern Europe.
The total combined population is of 275 million people. The allied states would have access a large industrial base, natural resources and advanced technologies.

English

The Romanian two-star Major General (retd.) Corneliu Pivariu has written an article in which he says that Romania’s role in any future Intermarium alliance would be crucial due to its geography and natural resources.
The Intermarium is an interwar-era geopolitical concept that has become popular in both Poland and Ukraine but hasn’t received much attention in Romania yet.
It’s based on the fact that the countries in the region between the Baltic and the Black Seas aren’t sufficiently strong to protect their interests and sovereignty on their own in the long-term against larger neighbouring powers such as Russia and Germany (and in the southern parts of the region potentially Turkey too in future scenarios).
If Russia suffers a painful defeat in the Russia-Ukraine war and is forced out of its dominating role in Belarus, conditions for a regional alliance of around 100 million people could be created. It would likely consist of:
🇷🇴 Romania
🇲🇩 Moldova (possibly in union with RO)
🇺🇦 Ukraine
🇵🇱 Poland
🇧🇾 Belarus (with its white-red-white flag)
🇪🇪 Estonia
🇱🇻 Latvia
🇱🇹 Lithuania
In some concepts, Czechia, Slovakia and Bulgaria are likely members too.
In the Diplomat Magazine article “Intermarium between NATO, Russia and the Great Powers: Romania’s Role in the Security Architecture from the Baltic to the Black, Caspian and Adriatic Seas,” General Pivariu from @IFIMES writes that Romania as a key connector in the “security architecture from the Baltic to the Black, Caspian and Adriatic Seas” and advocates for enhanced regional cooperation, infrastructure and defense ties between the states in the region.
He adds that the success of this project depends on tangible support from the US and the EU for the Three Seas Initiative and including Ukraine as a central element of the future security architecture in the region.
Many proponents of an Intermarium alliance view the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway) as key partners for joint security planning in the Baltic Sea region while Turkey would play a corresponding role in the Black Sea and Caucasus region.

Right, but that's a bad thing, because post-apartheid South Africa is a disaster zone. This is damning of Anglosphere conservativism.

@rational_tilt @NoahRettberg An economy can be decentralised but still have a capital city that isn't a drain on the rest of the country. It's not like either or here.

@bosektaze @NoahRettberg This just shows that the german economy is not as centralized as the others. Also, a lot of Companies are right outside the City borders, like the Tesla Gigafactory.

Berlin is a dysfunctional shithole full of dysfunctional people who vote despotic leftwing parties.
Without the massive inflow of money into the city in form of the state redistribution programm, the capital city spending and hundreds of thousands of students who are living in Berlin of the money from their nonBerliner parents and grandparents the city would a desolute wasteland.
Berlin is quite honestly a disgrace to Germany.

@NoahRettberg One of the (very) few capitals that is actually a net drain on the country. That’s truly remarkable, and not an easy feat.

@Crime_Penguin I find it very interesting how one of the most successful and acclaimed filmmakers of our time wants to captivate the audience and create awe, by colour-grading every single shot into total grey, stripping away almost all colour.
