  I was thinking more about their history of being occupied for the last millennium, invaded by the mongols, then occupied and partitioned by many states, including the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, the Ottomans, the Austrians, then finally conquered by the Russian tzars, then having their independence dreams being shattered by the Soviets, then being invaded by the Nazis and now by Russian Federation, with the latest nail being Trump’s actions.

  So yeah, superpowers plural

    I see what you mean and I guess it’s because of it’s vital position connection mainland Europe to the steppes of Eurasia and into Anatolia.

    It’s the same with my ethnic region of the Punjab so Im aware of what happens with such a history
