Know what’s funny? The way politics is going, this could happen but with whoever becomes PM after Sunak because HOO BOY SHIT’S GETTING REALLY FUCKING WILD HERE.
Like the current PM made a transphobic Jibe to the Leader of the opposition WHILE THE MOTHER OF A MURDERED TRANSGENDER TEENAGER WAS IN THE FUCKING GALLERY and refused to apologize. Not to long ago we had a scheme to make kids sing this fucking bullshit in schools because people identify with their home nation more than the UK, not to mention all the absolute horseshit that regularly comes out of the UK.
The UK is really a dead country huh?
The UK was never a nation state to begin with. it’s traditions are are shallow as bathwater, mainly based around the Empire, which people are quickly realising is a bad thing. It’s four, some would even say five nations poorly stapled together with little interplay between the cultures. Each nation sees itself as it’s own thing with it’s own politics, identity, culture, ideologies, and even languages.
The UK is about as much a nation state as Yugoslavia was.
This comment is why you shouldnt get your geopolitical information from websites like Lemmy.
He said while clearly expressing his geopolitical opinions for others to perceive on lemmy
I live in the UK and everything I have said is from personal experience.
Well then I suggest you put the phone down from time to time and go out and experience our country from time to time.
I did. I went to wales. They did not agree with you.
You went to Wales and asked people if they though they should get their geopolitical opinions from Lemmy and they said yes?

The UK is also on track to be economically weaker than fucking Poland.

Hillarious! Just for a few seconds I wondered if this was real!
Stop it meme creators! You were my only reliable news source. Now you are ruining it with fake memes.
Governments use memes as a format to spawn propaganda. wouldnt rely on em too much in any case
So does 4chan

Dumb name thought up by 14 year old Nazis. I will continue to ignore it
Is it? I was just trying to be funny sry
Edit: nvm not sorry because you are a bronie

Lol keep going buddy. I’m very conscientious of what I put on my profile specifically for people like you. If I didn’t want you to see it it wouldn’t be there.
As 4 channers like you would say a cope and a larp
is that a joke? cuz that sounds hella interesting… the weirder the conspiracies the tastier the popcorn!
I think it’s a joke on the Putin thing. Like OK, a historical border doesn’t justify a present day war. Even the leader of Mongolia was riffing on this. Should Mongolia reclaim all of it’s former land Asia?

I mean, it would make cartographer a somewhat easier job… Do we really need to have all those -stans anyway? 😛
I kinda want to see what the fewest countries you could cover the whole world with is if you took everything at its historical peak territory. So like post-WW1 British empire, Mongol empire just before Chinggis died, Umayyad caliphate when it stretched from Iran to Spain, Roman Empire under Trajan etc etc. How many do we need to fill in the whole map? And what’s the smallest country that we need in order to do so?
OK, but to make this interesting the countries you pick must have 100% of their peak territory, and it cannot overlap with another country.
Good luck.
This sounds like a problem that would be covered in an algorithms class.
Something something knapsack problem, dynamic programming, something something
Well, even without this rule. On what basis should territory be attributed to one empire or the other? We get back to square one with this.
I feel like overlaps should be allowed otherwise certain regions (Iraq and its surroundings come to mind) will make it impossible
Overlaps would make for a nice heat map. Which areas in the world have been coveted the most?
This just sounds like playing a Paradox game, now
Please, nobody look at my combined hours played on those games

Yes this is 100% a satirical post mocking Putin for essentially using the same justification for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
If the TV Show The Crown is the slightest accurate, I could definitely imagine King Charles making this exact joke TBH.
See, I’m not a fan of the royal family, but I’m pretty sure Charles would never talk to that cunt for a second, and for that I give him a tiny shred of respect.
England is slipping back into being the cultural backwater they were in the early/mid medieval period. Scotland, northern Ireland and Wales should jump ship sooner rather than later.
With my Britany’s root I long for the re-united celtic confederation

This is why cousins shouldn’t marry and why heads of state shouldn’t be whichever inbred result plops out of the royal vagina first.
You ate the onion, my dude
so many things are onion flavored nowadays it’s kinda hard to notice when you get a real one.
Yeah if I can’t see the logo all bets are off.
Exactly lol
Oh well, my comment about monarchy in general and (cavalier) King Charles (spaniel) in particular is still correct 🤷
Putin should have became a history teacher, he might enjoy that more
Even before clicking on the link I was like, oh yeah, like Bernd Höcke.
