Eastern European?

I don't think the Czech Republic has anything against us...
... Or Poland.

Of course others would hate us.

But, I'll tell you one thing: Our allies aren't insignificant. They are some of the greatest nations in the world, and I'm glad they are on our side.

That is probably the most funny thing I ever read.

You have a remarkable sense of humor.

Heck Israel is arguably the US closest ally and they are not a "white country". (Israel at least gets the most military support from the US)

it wasnt relevant i just wanted to know the relationship US had with those "eastern European" countries as i didnt know. for some reason i was under the impression that the US wasnt on the best terms with Russia, and that made me wonder about the other countries like germany france poland etc it didnt actually hjave any point or relevance tho, i made this thread so that i could learn about something im interested in.

Not really. Largely because any such grouping is usually irrelevant. (Though the very term "white country" is largely irrelevant in most contexts except perhaps if you didn't know better or were in a discussion with a neo-nazi)

Western civilisation excludes a lot of "white countries" but is actually made up mostly of "white countries". Though that depends on your definition of "white" and your definition of "Western civilisation".

Germany isn't really considered Eastern European in a political sense. There are generally two political spheres referred to when analysing Europe (though some are calling for the UK to be counted as a seperate political sphere considering it's unique relationship with the US.) Western Europe includes Germany and Scandinavia as well as Italy, Spain, France and the UK. Eastern Europe is usually referred to the former Soviet sattelite states such as Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland etc. Though the relationship between these former Eastern bloc states is changing with relationship to each other and the Western bloc and the world.

It's cool man. You're not being a jerk about it and it's good that you admit that you don't know much on the topic and that you are asking questions rather than stating your blind opinion as fact (unlike what some others do). I like to answer your questions.

Most of us do the same thing, don't worry about it.
Besides, a seemingly naive questions is usually a good question.
