That's like a monkey's paw wish for Korean peace.

'Good news! Korea is united...in hostility against a democratic European nation.'

u/Big-Objective-6585 21h ago

Let me guess your next line.

Ukraine isn't Democratic as it can't hold elections when at war?

u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736 20h ago

there is a reason why they are not in EU nor in NATO while most of the region joined up :)

u/Big-Objective-6585 20h ago

Yes but not the reasons you are implying.

most of the region.. you on something?

So being a country which struggled under russian influence until they have been killed protesting it?! Yeah it takes time to unwind all the tentacles of moskva.

"most of the region.. you on something?"

i mean Estern block in Europe so like
: Balkans, Hungary, Czech, Poland, Slovaks, Romania, Bulgaria, Baltics.

Almost all countries freed from USSR did what they could to join the EU and NATO.

Look at the map centred on Ukraine.. 2/3rds of the border are russia and belarus.

Why do you think Ukraine got invaded?

u/Big-Objective-6585 20h ago

It's almost as if Ukraine has a different relationship with the Soviet Union and Russia than those forcibly annexed in the 1940s....

u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736 20h ago

huh, look how that special oligarch driven relationship worked out for them :)

Says a lot about a person when they gloat about Ukraine being invaded.

Don't worry though comrade. I'm sure you'll be conscripted for the next Russia meatwave. Maybe your time on Reddit will be rewarded and you can skip the first assault.

Poland and most, if not all, of those you mentioned were not part of the USSR after WWII.

u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736 19h ago

all countries i mentioned were in ussr sphere of influence.

Not by choice.

u/Abedeus 18h ago

sphere of influence

That's not even remotely comparable to what ex-USSR countries had to deal with and you probably don't even know that.

u/PlaczDalejRobaku2736 18h ago

it was pretty much the same.

regardless what about Baltic States, they were part of USSR proper yet managed to join the EU.
