Bulgarian 🇧🇬 European 🇪🇺 Federalist. Strong borders, strong army, strong welfare: one sovereign Europe. Explaining Bulgaria to Europe and Europe to Bulgaria

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

1. I’ve been a European federalist since I was 14. Since then I’ve lived in Sofia, Sliven, rural Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Austria and the US. Every one of those places made the case stronger.

Why I want a federal Europe 🧵

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@Ozymandias88_ @ikikeske @RomanMemeSquad Absolutely! I 100% agree with you.

Nationalism has never done anything constructive. It’s a force of destruction, only inciting hatred and revanchism.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

Again, happened during times of war.

Turks burned my great great grandfather’s city (Stars Zagora), and slaughtered his entire family. He fled to Romania and later came back to Bulgaria.

I don’t hold a grudge against Turks despite that. It was war.

And again, as I said before - 1989 shouldn’t have happened. It was something most Bulgarians opposed. And it was caused by the dying totalitarian regime.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

And here we go again.

As I stated, the earlier genocides and migrations happened during times of war, the setting up of ethnic states and chauvinism.

A lot of it was perpetrated by the IMRO, which was widely recognised as a terrorist organisation by the West, and even by the Bulgarian government itself.

Regarding the Turk origin of Bulgarians - not entirely correct. The Turkic Bulgar people arrived on the Balkans in the 6th century, but they were few in numbers. They served as a unifying force, banding together Slavs and Romanised Thracians, which were the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of the territory they conquered. They became the ruling class and gave Bulgaria its name, but in the span of 2 centuries were entirely assimilated into the vastly larger Slavic and Thracian populations. Our contemporary DNS only has traces of them. We are a massive mix of different ethnicities.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

Everyone with a functional brain should have the capacity to recognise and admit when his country’s done something wrong and committed a genocide.

We’ve also done a lot of fucked up things to each other throughout history, Bulgarians and Greeks. And now we’re close friends and allies, as we understood it and worked on reconciling.

I am curious indeed as to what he’ll say, regarding the genocides and occupation of Cyprus.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

What happened in 1989 is one of the darkest periods of the modern Bulgarian history. It wasn’t perpetrated by the Bulgarian people themselves, but by a dying totalitarian regime, just before it fell. It’s the biggest mistake in our modern history.

The vast majorly of Bulgarians are strongly opposed to it.

Earlier migrations happened on both sides, it was the nature of war and the creation of ethnic states. The one in 1989 happened under no circumstances, and it should never happened.

So no, I have nothing against Turks themselves. The vast majority of Bulgarians don’t. I have many Turk and Pomak friends. Even my girlfriend is half Pomak and has some Turkish roots.

@ikikeske @Ozymandias88_ @RomanMemeSquad But the person, who drew the map isn’t even present here. He is not the one who posted it.

And what racism? What are you even talking about?

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

Sorry, but you’re the one in the wrong here.

Maybe you did not understand the original post. Could be due to lower English comprehension; thus, I will explain it to you.

We are all making fun of this badly made map, which depicts Constantinople in the time period of the 4th and 6th centuries, which is around 800 to 1000 years before it became part of the Ottoman Empire and was renamed.

Why are we making fun of this map? The author (who is not the one who made this post, he is also making fun of it), depicted the historical city of Constantinople as a hundred times bigger than what it actually was, much bigger than Istanbul is right now. So, in conclusion, we are just making fun of a really badly made map.

Nobody is implying. Nobody is trying to call it Greek with this post or take it away. This has nothing to do with history or nationalism.

So, the way you’re getting angry at it shows poor emotional control and lack of understanding. Just calm down and drink some tea, this post literally means nothing.

“Nobody will send Ukraine more Patriots.”

That’s half true, and it’s exactly why Europe has to build its own air defence.

Here’s where things stand:

🇺🇸 Patriot: Ukraine has an estimated ~8 batteries in service and is badly short of interceptors. In October it stopped only about 11 of ~150 Russian ballistic missiles. The US has approved 500 new PAC-3 missiles, paid for by Canada, Germany, Norway and the EU, but deliveries may take years.

🇫🇷🇮🇹 SAMP/T NG: France has confirmed 8 systems, with 4 more funded by Denmark. Europe’s own long-range system, able to stop ballistic missiles.

🇩🇪 IRIS-T: Germany has delivered 9, with 18 ordered, and production is scaling to 16 batteries a year by 2028.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 FREYJA: a cheaper anti-ballistic shield led by Ukraine’s Fire Point and backed by Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the UK, with MBDA, Thales, Saab, Diehl and others on board. Zelensky hopes to test it this winter, and a coordination office is planned in Copenhagen.

🇺🇦 Interceptor drones: around 100,000 were produced last year, and they now account for over 60% of drone-on-drone kills, at a fraction of a missile’s cost.

The pattern is clear. Whenever Europe waits for someone else’s stockpile, Ukraine runs short. Whenever Europe builds, the gaps close.

That should include Bulgaria. Our factories already make ammunition Europe depends on. We should be part of this shield, not watching it from the Black Sea coast while Russian drones land on our beaches.

One European defence industry. One European air shield. That’s what sovereignty actually looks like.

@SegaBG Абсолютно мнозинство, а вместо пътища и сигурност – поправки за ДАНС, които се оттеглят и внасят пак. Приоритетите са ясни.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@vatniksoup Talks in Abu Dhabi, and a market in Chornomorsk hit the same day. That’s what “Russia wants peace” looks like.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Bulgaria should be in that room making the case for the Black Sea, not blocking Europe’s budget for Ukraine.

Тази вечер в 19:00 българи излязоха на протест срещу Бюджет 2027 в седем града: София, Пловдив, Варна, Бургас, Стара Загора, Велико Търново и Видин. Под надслова „Не на обедняването!“ и „Не мълчи“.

Не срещу Европа. Срещу бюджет, който ни държи на едно място с пари назаем.

Ето цифрите:

• 8,6 млрд. € нов дълг само през 2027 г., след 10,1 млрд. € таван през 2026 г. С плановете за 2028 и 2029 г. това са над 35 млрд. € нов дълг за четири години.

• Дефицит от 4,2% от БВП по правилата на ЕС, над тавана от 3%. И това в първата ни година в еврозоната.

• Според организаторите: минималната заплата става 660 €, вместо 690 € по досегашната формула. Заплатите в бюджетната сфера растат с 5% при инфлация от 6%. Пенсиите растат със 7,8%, а линията на бедност с 13,4%.

• Военни и полицаи са със замразени заплати, точно когато руски дронове падат по брега ни.

А пари за 40 табла за мъгла на „Тракия“ нямаше. Проектът, съфинансиран от ЕС, беше прекратен от самата държава. Вчера в мъглата загинаха 11 души.

Миналата зима над сто хиляди души излязоха срещу бюджет с по-високи осигуровки и двоен данък върху дивидентите. Правителството падна. Румен Радев дойде на власт на тази вълна, с абсолютно мнозинство. И направи същото, само на изплащане.
Не искаме по-малко Европа. Искаме държава, която харчи европейските и нашите пари за пътища, болници и сигурност, а не за да покрие дупките в собствения си бюджет.

Трябва да се събудим. Изцяло. И този път да изградим нещо наше.

@Palechkaa Това е доста добро. На много хора им липсва капацитет и дори табели няма да помогнат.

Въпреки това, табелите са изключително добра идея и са показали доста добри резултати, където ги има.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@forever96juli Много добро!

@Arthus92 @TrueSizeOfMaps True, Stalin redrew that whole region’s borders. Which is exactly why nobody should let Moscow redraw them again.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@Montrey82631182 Can confirm from a small account: replies are where you grow. Reply early, add something real, and the reach follows.

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@BrilliantMaps Bulgaria could make one of these after Neuilly too. The answer isn’t redrawing borders, it’s making them matter less, inside the EU.

@nexta_tv The CSTO in 2026: Armenia has stopped showing up and Lukashenko looks like he’d rather be anywhere else 😄

[Borislav Razkovnik (Борислав Разковник) @bobby_razkovnik]

@PToveri Exactly. Treating the Kremlin like a normal government is how we got here.
