Russia has a lot of special characteristics which most other European states lack
I once heard this stressed very strongly, from a historical, cultural, and political perspective.
Russia is not European.
If one considers the mindset which allowed this war to happen, and the politics, the fascism, this seems quite true.
- darebak 5y agoThe largest country in Europe is not European? The EU doesn't have the monopoly on being European or European values.
- freeflight 5y agoEurope is not even a geographical continent, its just one part of the Eurasian continent. Which means the majority of Europe/Asia distinctions are drawn around economic, cultural and particularly political borders, none of which are natural but to a degree rather arbitrarily defined by humans depending on their particular agenda. In that context "othering", up to a scale of denying whole nation states their geographical location and cultural influences, has never lead to better and more peaceful relations, quite the opposite.
