No, churches are ethnic based

So almost every ethnicity has it's own

Well it's not like the Patriarch of Mecca or something, rather western Saudi Arabia is within the territory of the Patriarch of Jerusalem and eastern Saudi Arabia is within the territory of the Patriarch of Antioch.

Those in West Ukraine are, but most of Ukraine is Orthodox.
Maybe Ukraine should be split.
>Moscow will finally become catholic
Only if all Russians perish.

How did they do this when all other religions are forbidden for over a thousand years in there? Why didn't they do this in Western Europe?
How does a new Patriarchate even start to exist? Do all others have to agree on it?

Before 1772 95% of people in Ukraine were uniates. It's only Moscow that suppressed this church and reintroduced Orthodoxy. But now that Ukrainians decided to separate from Russia its influence will hopefully grow once again. And if Russia descends into chaos, then ordinary Russians will seek for alternatives, won't they? Now only 4% of Russians go to church and the Orthodox church has no real authority. If Ukraine could become Uniate why not Moscow?

All others have to recognize it, yes.
>forbidden
Not really. For most of time, Patriarchs existed and had authority over Christians. For example Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople existed during entire Ottoman era.

it is recognised.

>How did they do this when all other religions are forbidden for over a thousand years in there?
The Christians were there first. At this point it's more about migrant workers and tourists, but the territory is still defined.
>Why didn't they do this in Western Europe?
You'll have to study the last thousand years of European history, to sum it up that was Catholic land. Today you can find orthodox churches in the west, but often rather disorganized.
>How does a new Patriarchate even start to exist? Do all others have to agree on it?
To my recollection there are several occasions of church starting its own patriarchate before the other churches recognized it, but yes in general to be considered a patriarchate it takes the recognition of the others.

The orthodox churches in Germany are there pretty much only for the immigrants.Nobody really made the endeavor to translate everything in German and convert people.A shame I guess.It's a problem of modern immigration:

At first you become a church supervised by some non-German patriarch, like the autonomous church of Japan

But with enough people, with enough pressure, the church would canonize a German Orthodox patriarchate or rather a patriarchate based in Germany that would rule over Germany and maybe Austria and Holland too.
The Slovak church would be an example of a recent patriarchate

look at that cross. it's a death cult just like islam. only decent religions in the world are roman catholicism and protestantism.
