Ukraine appears to be genetically Polish. The poles are the ‘great people among the slavs’ Probably because of participation north sea trade, the exceptionally fertile land, insulation from the Plague, and heavy german influence. But despite Polish/Lithuanian/Austrian rule, and despite inability to gain sovereignty, the genes tell the truth: Ukrainians are almost entirely kins with poles and Poland has been the great exporter of genes.
There is very little evidence of Nordic genes here. Even though the nordics ran the trade route from the north sea to Byzantium. They had less genetic influence than the germans did in Hansa lands. Probably because they were not numerous. You can see the jews outbred here and everyone has a bit in them. The same happened in Afghanistan which at one point had a meaningful jewish population
The economic, territorial, cultural, and political interests the polish, and Ukrainian peoples are aligned. The territorial, cultural, and political intersets of russians are not aligned with ukraine and poland. And Soviet damage to eastern europe and genocide in ukraine is just not something anyone is going to forgive – ever. Invasion of ukraine again is not going to be forgiven.
All strategists seem to think that the border peoples (slavs) would be better off forming their own bloc than integrating into (degenerate) Europe. The problem with Russia is it’s a low trust polity and a resource economy still practicing postmodern propagandism, and Ukrainians feel that they can achieve the same quality of life as the poles because they are culturally similar.
Russia failed to make the transformation to a diverse economy, even though Putin has done an excellent job of improving the courts – although there is far to go still.
And having had to abandon his dream of recreating the soviet union, Putin is turning Russia more asiatic and muslim in its territorial interests. Domesticating the muslim is an excellent task for the Russians, just as liberating the eastern europeans is an excellent job for eastern europeans and the west.
The problem for easter Europe is that they have the suicidal culture of the europeans on one border, and the corrupt culture of Russians on the other, and they desire to balance the traditional family life of the east with the economic wealth and diverse economies of the west. (which is what traditional americans want also)
This is one of the reasons I want the european project to fail: so that the slavic peoples can preserve their civilization from immoral corruption by the west, and political and economic corruption by the east.
The Slavs have yet to learn the lesson of the militia: there is no one to save you but your force of arms. And there is not government to save you but the courts. it is not Government that makes good life. It is the people, the militia, and the courts that contain government from making bad life.
it is up to the church and the academy, the press, and the people to produce courts and a militia that can work together to produce a free people, a diverse economy, and prevent the corruption that comes with both Western and Russian ideology.
But I know this is not what most want to hear. They want someone else to solve the problem.
Which is why they have always had a problem.
And it is that which separates anglo and germanic from slav.
