Let's fix it once for all

Poland

Is it in Western Europe or Eastern Europe?
>>
central
>>
Central, if I had to choose one it'd be eastern though.
>>
>>52839971
Western

When I think about 'the West', I see Poland as part of it, but I think it can change alignment based on its allegiances, so that Poland going against the West would not be fragmentation; it would just be a departure. But this is characteristic of central countries.
>>
>>52839971
Central, it's not underdeveloped enough to be Eastern but not developed enough to be western (but I hope we get there soon). It's the same with all of v4 Imo.
>>
>>52840095
I see your point, Dr. Dundee, but wouldn't you agree that the political paradigm of Eastern-Western polarity is in fact a rather recent phenomenon in European politics and that the notion of centrality must therefore be considered through other optics as well?
>>
>>52839971
Central. Screw west and east we have our v4.
>>
>>52839971
They are slavs so eastern.

>>
>>52839971
Weastern europe
>>
>>52840171
Maybe, but the parameters of the question demand we at least use some kind of West-East optic, and the way to do that is to treat certain countries (central countries) as flexible; like, take East Germany: that region, now just a part of greater Germany, was eastern but now is western. I call Poland western until proven otherwise.
>>
It's over atlantic europe since it's only ally is USA.
>>
>>52839971
All ex soviet countries are eastern imo. Poland also has the same culture and origin as most eastern europeans have so there's no point why Poland should be western europe.
>>
Eastern. How is this even an argument?
>>
>>52840533

you forgot we went to war over this country, both of us could of kept our noses out and kept our colonies but we had to stop Poland from getting wiped off the map

Is Poland even grateful about what we did? shit The only thing we got out of this is cheap plumbers.
>>
>>52839971
It's Poland.
>>
>>52840794
yeah let's let nazi german keep expanding that's a good idea
>>
>>52839971
It's transitioning.

Western aid money is its hormone therapy.
>>
>>52840794
Why did you do that anyway? Eventually Russia and Germoney would go to war and France wouldn't be steamrolled. Btw, why didn't declare war on Russia when they invaded Poland?

>16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east.

Eastern,
There's no such thing as Central Europe because the main cunts in that "region" namely Germany Austria(and maybe Elvetia,maybe) don't consider themselves as central european but as Westerners and want little to do with Poland,Slovakia Hungary etc.
Europe is divided into West, East, South and Balks,some cunts belong to two or more categories,either by size or geography or historical background:France north and south,Romania balks and east, (formerly) Germany because of commie rule over East Germany and I'm sure there are other examples out there.
The mistake that Poland, sometimes Hungary and esp. the Czech is that they strive to be the poorest Western/Central cunts instead of the best Eastern Cunts. The West wants nothing to do with you apart from setting up good obedient neo-colonial and will never consider you as their equals. Remember kids, the EU flag has 12 stars, and that's not going to change any-time soon. It's federalization with all the drawbacks and little of the benefits. The sugar is the euromonies for the more obedient colonies,(see poland) .

Also,poland is by far the biggest drain on the EU economy, it's entire "growth" is propped up by many billions of euros, good for them btw

poland and czech republic hates each other

about slovakia no offence but most of poles either don't care about your existence or consistently mistake you with slovenia

with hungary we have nothing in common anymore...

v4 is just artificial shitshow no bond at all poland is wannabe regional power and v4 is just to spread our influence, czechs are wannabe germans le ebin best slavs, hungarians are aliens, slovaks are in it because of their geographic location and thats all

thats why v4 is a failure and is completely redundant, we have EU, even in talks with China regarding the Silk Road 2.0 there is no v4, its 16+1

pretty sure some dont even know we border Slovakia, it doesn't feel we border you anyway

also even if people actually know what Slovakia is and taht we border it and don't mistake it for Slovenia, I doubt they know anything more about this country than it's capital

but after all you are artificial country with no history, created after WW1

it was because you couldn't let hitler for more

you never went to war to for us(if that was the case you wouldn't sell us to commies), you never wanted to save poland you just went to war over your wealth and influence, as always

not judging you, everyone does like this but stop trying to convince anyone you intended anything good for poland, we were just your tool

and actually you didnt go to war over Poland - while Hitler was invading us you didn't do a shit , if you attacked back then, WW2 would have ended after month.

Russia has only 41% Orthodox. 30% Non-religious/atheists. And remember Orthodox=/=Catholic.

Religion in Russia and religion in Poland are 2 completely different cases, not even comparable.
>>52851597
>Nacionalistic
The thing is Polish and Russian nationalism are completely different things. I would actually said Russian are not nationalist - Russians are imperialistic. Remember that they actually partly gave up on their national identity only to build another great empire(USSR, supposed to be universal, no Russia or Russian in name). Russian nationalism is about spreading Russia, Polish is about strengthening our identity.

Geographically: who cares? Central or something. It's like, mid-central northerly-ish Europe. Call it whatever the fuck you want.

Culturally: Western. Traditionally, the East/West divide has been based on faith. So Roman Catholic vs Eastern Orthodox.
