The New Division of the West: A Modern Echo of Rome’s Split

The Roman Empire, once the pinnacle of Western civilization, ultimately fractured into two halves: the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium). This division signaled the beginning of the end for Rome’s dominance, as the empire struggled with both internal strife and external threats. Today, we are witnessing a similar fracture in the Western world, with the United States and Europe diverging in their geopolitical priorities.

The Munich Security Conference, once a symbol of Western unity, has now become a stage for revealing the growing rift between Washington and its European allies. The United States, increasingly focused on the Indo-Pacific, is demonstrating a waning interest in protecting Europe from external threats. The message from Washington is clear: Europe must take responsibility for its own security.

About the Origin of the Germans

Traditionally, two areas of origin are attributed to the Germans: southern Scandinavia and Jutland. However, these theories have significant drawbacks. In southern Scandinavia, there is a lack of continuity in archaeological cultures, meaning that the Germans did not develop there but arrived already formed. Moreover, Denmark and Germany were controlled by dominant Celts, and it is unlikely that intolerant Celts would allow for the extensive and prolonged formation of a new superethnicity of Germanic peoples. Additionally, in the general epic and beliefs of the Germans, the sea is not dominant, as it is specifically for the Scandinavians and Frisians, but rather the forest and swamp prevail.

Therefore, the homeland of the Germanic peoples may be the Chernobyl region (Southern Belarus, Northwestern Ukraine), supported by numerous toponyms of corresponding Germanic tribes: Teutons, Franks, Goths, Anglo-Saxons.

The Sarmatians, who succeeded the Scythians, displaced the Germans from the Chernobyl region to Jutland. In their place, a fusion of Sarmatians and remnants of the Germans gave rise to the early Slavs - the Veneti.

Whether the Chernobyl disaster was accidental or a deliberate radiation scorching of the cradle of two civilizations, the Germans and the Slavs, to prevent the formation of a new superethnicity in the future?

On the cyclicity of warfare

Military history repeats itself, why today's war is similar to World War I, and what the next one will be like.
