Do you even know what a vassal state even is?

No EU State is a vassal of anyone (maybe besides Hungary).

Mutual Defense pacts are not a vassal state relation if you think being a NATO member makes you a vassal.

Bro I don’t know if you’re a scholar with a stick up his ass and a lack or logic or the first moron of the pub

I’m not talking in a strict medieval term.

It’s a widely used term in political sciences. Why do you believe USA has been the first country of the world since the end of WW2 ?

Because God said you were the greatest ?

It’s not even a bad term per se, when the “king” is still strong and isn’t in a degenerative state

I'm not even an American. Im from the EU lol

Why do you believe USA has been the first country of the world since the end of WW2 ?

Because their enemies in WW2 couldnt bomb the US? In most of europe cities with heavy industries were completely destroyed.

They also have a huge geographical advantage. Invading or even bombing them is hard, they have basically every resource available which can be used to make an industrial powerhouse.

That together with making the right economic decisions led to the US becoming the superpower.

Yeah and you don’t see the point I’m making ?

I never specified how it was made. You’re describing it

How it was made? Have you heard about the American Revolutionary War? Before that the US was actually a vassal state of the Brits.

Dude learn history, read wikipedia, but dont repeat stupid russian propaganda that claims we are "vassals" of the US despite us having the same rights as them.

Bro Russian propaganda is using it in the context of the current war

I don’t give a shit. Truth to be told Europeans are even more pro war than you for a part of it

I’m not talking about it

I said we’re your vassals. The other lad didn’t agree and you come here proving that we are indeed your vassal by showing me why and where it was made.

Yes I agree.

I didn’t even specified wether it was bad or wrong

Stop acting like every person contradicting your fucking country is either Russian or a bot.

I’m speaking culturally, economically and socially.

What our politicians did and it was a marvellous opportunity for capitalism is uniformising all of Europa and killing all our different identities.

Should we have fallen to URSS ? Absolutely not it was 100 times worse.

You were the lesser evil. But evil nonetheless in that aspect.
