EU vs Russia war - who would win?

Yes,he was from Geneva.The Genovese helped Byzantine opposite to Venice which had interests in ottoman rule.Actually Justiniani was born on the island Chios which belonged to Genova at the moment,so I am not sure if he can be considered Genovese or Greek.
It is like Colombus who was also born on Chios,spoke greek,immigrated to Spain from Geneva and later discovered America.

But he was so called "Latinyanin", well and Byzanine empire before the final fall wasn't the same in the sense of religious unity, as in time of Basill II.

Of course,between 1204-1453 many islands of Greece and a part of Peloponese had become catholic due to intensive pressure from Genovese and Venecians.In Cyclades(Mykonos,Santorini,Ios,Naxos) many have remained catholic.
There were also mixed marriages between Latins and Greeks but the folk never liked them or catholicism.Actually there was a big battle between orthodox and catholic church and the Pope promised a crusade to throw Ottomans out under the agreement that the two churches unite and Byzantine turns to catholicism.This agreement by Byzantine emperor in 1402 was never accepted by church or folk.

Basil 2 is called the Bulgaroctone because his troops killed a lot of Bulgarians during many wars.Basil 1 was called the Macedon,he was a miracle of physical strength,was born absolutely unknown in a village of northern Greece and came to the throne after he strangulated with his hands Mikhail,the emperor who took him as bodyguard admiring his physical strength.

Well, but Russians in the same time rejected all unions with popes, including Frorentian union



Do you feel any abhorrence toward Westerners who took out his corpse from the coffin and sticked him a bagpipe in 1204? His corpse called for revenge over 50 years being on the naked ground. You should!

The Westerners did worse things than this in 1204.They took all the thesaurus,the gold,the sculptures,the paintings out of Constantinupol and destroyed churches and monuments.They took even the horses sculptures from the ippodromion and placed them in St.Marcus in Venice!
These crusaders behaved more like animals,turned the royal palace to stallion and walked all over drunk,raping women and stealing everything they could.

Sooooooo, I suppose you hate them still ;-)))

BTW, when I was in St. Sophia I spited upon the tomb of Henrico Dandolo...

Yes,there is not much respect towards French and Italians.



Yes,these Venecian doges were really evil.Exactly like Macchiavelli describes them.

Kill them, kill them, kill them all !!!!!

OMG so much history!!! My little brain is going to burst... Someone kill me.... Kill me!! Kill me!!! :D

Claver, that Norway

What is your origin? May be I can help you? Sure I can kill you if you are from western europe

lmfao, that last post is so wrong... wrong but hilarious.. : )

Crazy Ruskies..

Who would win a fight of idiocy between you and Lepper?

I call a tie.

No Giertych :P?

stupid, extra-serious halfblooded (Poles/Greek) boy.

You are a sick man, Constantine. Very, very sick.

Symptoms?

You have it all wrong, I will let you in on a secret, it is too late for you now anyway. The Irish are taking over the world. How? you ask, with Irish bars, yes the cunning use of the legal drug in copious amounts is being brought to a city near you.
And what will we do with the world, well for starters we'll have a pint (or half litre) , we are going to spend all your national defense budget on hospitals, education and renovation of Irish bars. We will impose a strict one drink minimum for drivers. Ever noticed that drunks don't get as injured as the sober drivers in road accidents.
So don't worry about E.U. vs Russia, you'll all be Irish in the end .

eu vs russia, it would be britain, germany, france and italy who would be doing all the fighting

I agree, the Russians would not have anyone to fight because britain, germany, france and italy would be at each others throats...LOL

shut up before we set the black and tans on you, you spud picker

You've been warned numerous times about name calling.

Unfortunately you are like that. Anyway you took the time to reply. spelling wasn't great but you do try.
I wrote this slowly because I know you can not read fast

France and Italy?

We're f*cked.

EU? What EU?

Yes.. good question, Crow : )

Kinda reminds me of the anecdote-

Ideal world is when you have English house, Russian(substitute Polish here) wife, Chinese food and American salary. American wife, Chinese house, American wife and a Russian salary is a nightmare!

I am totally disagree with you, your country is so small, that our presidents usually preffer to oversleep it, even during official visits.... ;-) Do you remember?

Dublinjohn was just joking.....at least I hope...no one can honestly be serious with such a comment as that....

As it is said in Russia, "In each joke, there is a part of joke"

Relax, i am joking too
