Thracia and Crimea wrote:Oh really? Damn, it does have some confusing wordings sometimes but overall it was fine for me (although I have the Turkish translation, so maybe it's got worse sentence structures in English or Danish? I don't know). One method I developed for hard to read books while attempting to decipher Hegel though, is just to make sure to analyse every sentence separately, and read them more than once, or until it makes sense. It's a pretty short book (123 pages in the edition I have, with theory and practise sections being 37 pages) so it should be fine.

I was unable to find a Danish translation, even online Danish bookshops only offered the English version so I'm trying to read it in English, but the book really overcomplicates some sentences often for no real reason :(

Despite that it's a good read, I am learning history if anything

Sorry about that, I wish it was available in Danish too :/ Glad to know that you're enjoying it though!

XD Dw, I have plenty of Danish books at my side to supplement the theory I am learning or critiquing the theory, such As Pelle Dragsted's Nordic Socialism proposing a democratisation the economy in a decentralised manner and some academic books about the class divide, how it's expressed and the consequences

Sounds good :D Any of them you can recommend (if they have translations of course)? I tried checking google for an English version of Dragsted's text when you first mentioned it some days ago but couldn't find it

It's a rather recent book so no translation yet :(

I can find the e-book version of put it in google translate and send it to you if you want, however, it's gonna cause some translation issues

Either Tsar Dusan, warrior-king who expanded his empire by war, the medieval european model of masculinity and patriarchy, or Prince Milos Obrenovic, who ruled with diplomacy, intrigues, affairs, rarely using violence and war to achieve goals(to preserve peace, he assassinated his groomsman who prepared war against turkey).

My guess would be Ernst Nobs, he was the first Social democrat in the federal council

Neither do I. But at the same time Putin used to do things that many would consider utterly wrong and borderline impossible, so

War was always part of human nature, it can't be removed from life, almost all of human history is made of wars and discoveries. Instead hope, we should embrace reality and prepare for war, so we can pass through war with minimal destruction and rebuild fast.

There's little room for right and wrong in politics, but Putin is not so god-like as people perceive him; he actually didn't do great stuff people venerate. He just elevated economy a bit, won in Chechnya and got Crimea, nothing of this is borderline impossible when you compare it to other things other leaders have done in history, far greater deeds.

I've been wondering recently, since I've only been on here with Imperium Anglorum as WA delegate (I've played for around 2 years at this point, coming up on 3 in March). Has anyone played long enough to know how the transition between one delegate to another works? Is it something that happens suddenly or does the previous delegate resign/retire?

No offence but wars exist thanks to such rhetorics as you post. It’s easy to claim war be a natural part of humans which is not so really, in my personal opinion

We should not embrace it, we should work on prevention of it

There’s little doubt that human rights abuse is convenient or rational, other nations’ sovereignty rulebreaking is nothing, or involving in foreign conflicts is beneficial for the nation which suffers from long lasting (literally over a century long) internal crises and falls

He’s “just got Crimea”? We’re speaking about an entire European region, not a tiny private island for a new boat park lot. I don’t see it as often in nowadays conflicts, however, he does random stuff internally as well, which many irl people consider horrifically genocidal. There could be a very long debate why Russians keep suffering it without fighting back, I’m not into this convo rn. What I mean is that he is completely able and fully ready to invade Ukraine regardless of how impossible it would look like today. He doesn’t care about consequences that will rather hit the very people of Russia, not him or his friends

Is it just me or has Europe gotten more political?
Like
I used to have another nation here called Sukitopia and I seem to remember everyone talking about things other than politics
Maybe it's just because more things have happened in politics recently
Or maybe not. Who knows?

Yes, it’s definitely more political, and I think it’s the combo of both.

It never gets political until one starts talking about pineapple pizzas

Don't worry, i am not offended by this, i've been through this already, i am aware people have different opinion about this topic. But i lived through one, in the 90's, in 3 major yugoslav cities people protested the war, 500,000 people, and yet, armies fought with such violence you can't imagine. So it is not me - the individual who say thats how things are - but history itself, endless wars and conflict is what shaped today, our borders, tradition, mentality.

I don't support those things, i merely comment them. But the fact is that empires of old did worse things to people, mutilation, cutting tongues, blinding, rape, hanging, burning. None of which happens in Russia today, so actually they made a progress.

Yes just Crimea, USA took Kosovo from Serbia, small province as well. Turkey owns most of Kurdistan and Armenia, even Hatay, USA have Hawaii and Guam(had Philipines), Yugoslavia took Istria from Italy, Israel took Golan Heights from Syria, Iran owns half of Azerbaijan, Japan owns Chinese islands and China plan to take Taiwan. Everyone does it, there is no good or bad side, just national interest.

Russia is a superpower, of course they are fully ready to invade and obliterate entire nations, so are USA and China, that's why they are called superpowers, but that is still not enough proof that invasion is imminent. I don't think they will invade, because they could in 1991, or 2001, but they haven't, Ukraine is their playground with alot of supporters, russian oligarchs wants better business deals there, not to rule it.

Sorry for the long post, geopolitics is my passion, power games between nations, can't resist!

First of all, why do you use former disasters as an excuse for it? That's not a justification to keep doing it and keep embracing brutality as a way of life simply because [for example] my ancestors have been raiding British isles and raping local farmer peeps

Balkannia wrote:None of which happens in Russia today, so actually they made a progress.

And second of all, that's where you're a wee bit wrong, mon cherie :P

Among these examples I do agree on Israel though because I thought of it too, however, I can't fully use this example because that part of Middle Eastern region is in a full scale war and that doesn't surprise me. Russia and Ukraine are not at war and such shenanigans are pathetic. And, again, those examples are not a justification for others to keep doing it again and again. Russia is the largest country in the world, it doesn't need more land. It has to focus on developing what already exists, and must I say, exists in a very bad shape. I perfectly understand this outdated geopolitical importance of Crimea, or Russian airfields in Syria, or South Ossetia conflict in Georgia. But that's something that can be prevented and stopped.

I can't succeed in understanding why people defend it or justify it, are you Putin though? Confess! I knew he will join this game after I started bringing him into convos from time to time

Russia didn't have any casus belli back in 1991 or 2001 against Ukraine
