There is also an obsession in that part of the world with Geopolitics. It's no coincidence that some of the most popular youtube geopolitics channels are from that region. I think it's more a remnant of soviet mentality and the fact that (absent the ideology of communism) territorial gains/losses seems to be the only motivator. China for all its rhetoric has not changed its borders in many decades, yet russia/ turkey are using militarism and territorial conquest as an end rather as means to prosperity.
- fleddr 5y agoI've travelled a lot and if there's one thing I learned it's that we're all the same. We all share the same ideology: to live a dignified life in peace, in good health and in reasonable wealth. It's what we all desire and have in common. It's not even an ideology, they are common sense motivators for any living thing in general. Everything else is learned behavior: nationalism, culture, religion. False ideologies that divide instead of unite.
