Nobody ever talks about the greatest injustice in history: the brutal, centuries-long occupation of Finland by the tyrannical Swedish empire
To this day, the letter Å is still a part of our alphabet
The economies of all of these countries are built directly on top of western exploitation of the Global South. They're not closed economies that produce the things they need domestically.
Luxembourg for instance was heavily involved in the admin in belgian congo. Austra Hungary tried to get a colony in Africa but didn't have the capacity. And like you said def isn't a closed economy. unfortunately a lot of mentioned countries ended up embracing the racial hierarchy that spread.
Yet here you are, starting it.
People living in Cyprus consume goods produced by western corporations that exploit cheap labor markets in countries subjugated by the west. This has fuck all to do with trade. It's imperialism and colonialism where the west invades countries, overthrows sovereign governments, runs coups, death squads, and so on, in order to exploit the populations of these countries. Many books have been written on the subject, and one has to be shamefully ignorant to not understand this.
I think you're substituting age with intellectual lethargy in this statement.
copypasting lists from natopedia in the most not-mad way humanly possible
Which fucking sides are you talking about? This some weird ass 'the dark people killed each other more than the Europeans killed' take? I can wait for you to finish polishing that German Horse's cock, don't worry, take your time.
Weren't a lot of those places a little too busy doing pogroms in their own nations to bother crossing an ocean for the purpose?
I am sure all the Roma and Jews in those nations felt the warm glow of multicultural acceptance.
Want to watch the best Irish person turn into a raging fascist? Just mention Travelers in a neutral way.
These days even Romanians get them frothing mad.
That's just everyone in the more well-off parts of Europe. When seasonal Romanian migrants first started appearing in places like Helsinki, people were melting down over how they were making their nice Nordic city look like a third-world country and how "shitholes" like Romania should have never been let into the Union

So is the critique here the anachronistic use of the EU flag or are we implying that it's all King Leopold's fault or what
Austria were active participants in the Spanish colonial empire (Like how many people named Habsburg were involved in the running of the Spanish colonial empire do you think?). Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech republic fall under that umbrella.
Malta's economy was literally piracy of North African shipping lanes for 400 years what are you doing.
I would like you to tell me exactly when Austria was ruled and exploited as a colony.
I would bet you money that they buy Austria's "the first victim of the Nazis" line.
