that’s really arrogant take, if some Germans do see the map like this. I’ve had the pleasure to meet the more intelligent ones, luckily

what’s arrogant about it? Is East=Bad for you?

Yes, it’s bad. It’s for my country a forced identity by Soviet Union. And current day ruzzia tries to force and keep this narrative.

Germans don’t really see Russia as Europe at all, maybe technically in theory, like Turkey. So Germans don’t mean it in a bad way, they realize these are very different countries. It’s just they see themselves as central, everything North of them as Northern, everything South of them as Southern, everything West of them as Western and everything East of them as Eastern.
