I am not European enough to make any sense of this meme

DaddleDew ,

It implies that Kaliningrad is left undefended and up for the taking and that the surrounding countries are all looking at each other wondering which one of them is going to make a move on it.

Tis a silly place

Germany and Czechia are not surrounding countries but Kaliningrad (then named Královec) was founded by Czech king Přemysl Otakar II. at the height of the Bohemian empire, and was later part of Prussia (basically Germany in the 1800s).

I don’t think many Germans are joking about annexing Kaliningrad because of the WWII stigma but Czech redditors regularly invade r/Kaliningrad only to get promptly banned.

The Germans have specifically ruled out doing East Prussia again, for the same reason a recovering alcoholic won’t touch a drop of wine. Which leaves two options: Králiveč, the Czech exclave with a beer pipeline to the mainland*, or the more mundane option of partitioning it somehow between Poland and Lithuania.

Germans are still suffering from having to integrate another failed quasi-soviet state more than 30 years later, so you couldn’t pay them enough for taking Königsberg back.

However, it would be somewhat entertaining to see the AfD melting down over getting it back. On the one hand, you have some of the old territory back, but on the other hand, there's so many foreigners getting your nationality now…

Given that AfD are Putinists and a significant proportion of the foreigners are Russian military personnel, I suspect they wouldn’t have a huge problem with it.

Though having instantly given citizenship to thousands of Russians on the grounds that their ancestors around the time of Catherine the Great were German, and ending up with a monolingually Russophone voting bloc that gets its news from Russian state TV, did them no favours either. Jus sanguinis: not even once.

As a german, I heartily agree. Poland and or Czechia, you are welcome to any or all parts of it. Just don’t fight over it :)

Yo! Poland! Do your the thing.

The Polish thing is being split between Germany and Russia again
