There are plenty of nations I feel my nation has friendships with - if they were bullied, we'd stand up for them on pure reaction.
Not everything is interests. People are people.
- sajithdilshan 17d agoThis is such a dumb take. Like 80 years ago the so-called Europeans were killing each other. 35 years ago there were 2 German nations that had animosity towards each other. This is why teaching history is important in schools so people don’t live in imaginary land
- dudul 17d agoThanks for the good laugh. Interesting that you didn't feel the need to say what your "nation" is, or their nation BFFs. It would have allowed us to dig into real data, but no, let's just use feelz instead :) People are people, and nation states are nation states. These are different entities.
- orf 16d agoIf we say that nations can have enemies then it stands to reason that we can also say that they have friends. You can of course be needlessly reductive and say that friendship is just two temporarily, mutually aligned self-interested parties, but… yeah. That’s pretty verbose. And not even correct.
