Do the Baltic people feel a closer affinity to North Germanic nations or Slavic (West/East) nations?

Lithuania and Nordic countries are connected by values and traditions

Baltoscandia

The Baltoscandian Confederation or Baltoscandia is a geopolitical concept of a Baltic–Scandinavian union (consisting of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania).[1] The idea was proposed by a Swedish professor Sten de Geer (1886–1933) in the journal Geografiska Annaler in 1928 and further developed by Professor Kazys Pakštas [lt; ru][2] (1893–1960), a Lithuanian scientist in the field of geography and geopolitics.

Russians and Ukrainians have a similar culture though correct? I think these can be broken down into East Slavic, west Slavic, and south Slavic cultures.

I didn’t know Poland is closer to Germany culturally. As for Baltic people maybe it’s the same with them.

I have wondered about this before. I always saw baltics as almost an extension of Eastern Europe, but I guess not.

South Slavic culture? Nice joke. Yes, Slovenians are indeed culturally similar to Bosnian muslims hahah.
Poland is today very different from Germany, but wasn't in the past. Or to better say it was not as distant from Germany compared to Russia.

Latin language was used by nobility in all western Christian nations btw.

Today all ex-commie countries are closer to each other than to non commie countries.

What reinforced my beliefs was modeling through G25. It turns out that using the normal groups that work well for northern and Western Europeans give horrible fits for Baltic and Slavic people. They have the same drift and are essentially one grouping as far as I can tell.

But culturally it may be different the buildings in Lithuania look tuetonic

They might be our cousins, however most of them do not like us for some reasons. I myself personally feel closer to Balts than to Yugoslavians and Bulgarians.

They're the same potato niggers as Poles and Russians to Scandinavians and Brits.

Russian imperialism.

I agree I associated east Slavs with Balts more strongly than south Slavs.

They are significantly closer to Balts genetically too, than to south Slavs.
Only Rusyns/SW Ukrainians are exception.

I'll explain you stupidity of term Yugoslav: except for being non existant ethnic term of now long dead state, it's totally illogical too.
Yugoslav means south Slav, and Bulgarians are south Slavs too but they have never been Yugoslav. On the other hand Kosovo Albanians were Yugoslav.

It's retarded to use that term, just say south Slavs. I don't see people using Soviet instead of east Slavic.
