The point is for them to be able to coexist because it‘d be pretty boring if we only had one. Of course they do. There is French culture, British culture, US culture. They are all different with different traditions, history even effing food. If you think different cultures can coexist within the same borders, then you are mistaken. Ask native Americans, ask St Bartholomew/ du Plessis how did that work out in France, check what papist is, or what happened in Granada.
Western culture is very variegated.
Why shouldn‘t they be able to coexist ? Sometimes it takes two millennia of fighting for them to get to that point, but they‘ll get there.
The real question is if they are able to apply the wisdom from that experience on a worldwide scale.
I don‘t know if you watched a historical representation of wars over the globe, but the vast majority was fought here.
Russia and Ukraine is again European infighting.

Yes it is, thats why we have different countries in Europe. See culture is a set of shared values. And quite frankly hugenots and catholics had more shared values, than US liberals and US conservatives have.
"Sometimes it takes two millennia of fighting for them to get to that point, but they‘ll get there." - They never got there did they? Thats why we still have wars. You saying 2 millennia, but WW2 ended mere 80 years ago, while WW1 107 years ago. Thats nothing on the timescale of millennia.

US culture is too much sometimes. There's no singular unity in achieving something like how korea was pretty much unified in impeaching 2 presidents at will. I doubt that'll ever happen in the US now. I might be kinda evil for saying this but I don't think this melting pot works and it's designed that way by nature lol. Maybe civil war that breaks up US into separate country is the ultimate end goal here.

We should be fighting wars on capital that‘s lost its meaning to favouritism and nepotism, not on cultural differences and provocations.
The shared set of values in Europe also varies wildly depending on where you are in it.
The war to end all wars isn‘t one that puts everyone on the same set of beliefs without at the same time extinguishing everyone.

The war to end all wars is exactly that. See humans dont do coexisting, they subdue or destroy.
Cultural differences are pretty much all that matters. Where do you think Le Penn and Tommy Robinson came from? Why you have right wing parties rising in popularity pretty much all across the Europe?

It wont break up, it cant do that due to US dollar. One side will take it all. If it happens without armed conflict then liberals take over, because more radical culture will always push out less radical one. If there will be armed conflict then conservatives will.

Apparently humans can do coexisting just fine in countries outside of the broader west.
You couldn‘t imagine the west existing without it going down in a spiral of violence caused by having a massive amount of people on an excessive living standards that they are unable to share with each other.

Do they? wanna look at Israel/Gaza? Syria? Also Muslim countries are slightly different precisely because they have set of shared values. And historically how did Muslim countries coexisted with Christian countries?
Edit: also Muslim countries cant do much now, or they risk being liberated.

Depends on which muslim country you look at. Muslim citizens typically pose no problem at all as long as they are aware that local law supercedes religious law when applied to the letter.
For the west in specific there is an issue that can be traced back to self-interest and corruption but it‘s a tier above religious differences.

That isn't historical, it's metahistorical. The purpose is to illustrate biases in how Europeans talk about and understand history. I think it may have gone over your head.

No nation has a single culture except maybe China and other Asian nations.
Western culture doesn‘t even exist. It‘s too fractured for that.
Which is why you can have different experiences in Italy, the UK, France, US etc.
In terms of anthropology, when it has its own language, it‘s something of their own.
The point is for them to be able to coexist because it‘d be pretty boring if we only had one. Of course they do. There is French culture, British culture, US culture. They are all different with different traditions, history even effing food. If you think different cultures can coexist within the same borders, then you are mistaken. Ask native Americans, ask St Bartholomew/ du Plessis how did that work out in France, check what papist is, or what happened in Granada. Western culture is very variegated. Why shouldn‘t they be able to coexist ? Sometimes it takes two millennia of fighting for them to get to that point, but they‘ll get there. The real question is if they are able to apply the wisdom from that experience on a worldwide scale. I don‘t know if you watched a historical representation of wars over the globe, but the vast majority was fought here. Russia and Ukraine is again European infighting. Yes it is, thats why we have different countries in Europe. See culture is a set of shared values. And quite frankly hugenots and catholics had more shared values, than US liberals and US conservatives have. "Sometimes it takes two millennia of fighting for them to get to that point, but they‘ll get there." - They never got there did they? Thats why we still have wars. You saying 2 millennia, but WW2 ended mere 80 years ago, while WW1 107 years ago. Thats nothing on the timescale of millennia. We should be fighting wars on capital that‘s lost its meaning to favouritism and nepotism, not on cultural differences and provocations. The shared set of values in Europe also varies wildly depending on where you are in it. The war to end all wars isn‘t one that puts everyone on the same set of beliefs without at the same time extinguishing everyone. The war to end all wars is exactly that. See humans dont do coexisting, they subdue or destroy. Cultural differences are pretty much all that matters. Where do you think Le Penn and Tommy Robinson came from? Why you have right wing parties rising in popularity pretty much all across the Europe? Apparently humans can do coexisting just fine in countries outside of the broader west. You couldn‘t imagine the west existing without it going down in a spiral of violence caused by having a massive amount of people on an excessive living standards that they are unable to share with each other.

Sure, if the neighbours were familiar with Russian for the wrong reasons.
We couldn‘t have an economy based on muslim oil without them, though.

It is dishonest to single out Russians, your frame of reference seems to be only 21st century.

It might have been a single € but it‘s worth billions now, surely.

Same here, buddy.
Grew up speaking Italian for the most part.
But it‘s not all bad. Growing up bilingually is a blessing.
To get on topic, I think almost everyone could do better than the ones presented with solutions on the international scale.
