A perfect explanation of European stupidity that will always keep them a petty and unaccomplished people. They all have gripes and complaints from 1500 years ago. And they all boil down to “they are different”.
America was the place that left that behind. A curse on those who try to drag America into those idiotic meaningless old world feuds.
well, firstly "European" is a very blanket term, putting tons of people in the same bucket - and it fails. You can't even use the term "Slavic" as Russians, Poles, Bulgarians, Serbs, etc. have different histories and "successes" - heck even among the South Slavs, there are differing "successes"
Secondly, you think "Europeans" have been unaccomplished?
Thirdly - the "gripes from 1500 years ago" is normal in humanity - even the USA has gripes over the Civil war, it is the normal human condition.
What is wrong isfor the Croats, Serbs, Russians etc. is keeping that grudges violent --> in contrast Poles have forgiven the Ukrainian massacres in Wolyn while the English and French have forgiven that they have been at war for 900 years etc. etc.
The USA needs to get involved when it can explode into war that sucks the USA in as it hits the American economy - as in the case of Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- when Russia just took Crimea it was no reason for the USA to get militarily involved
