At this point we can probably feed a few of these maps into an AI program and replace the UN with it. Probably cause fewer international crises, tbh. At least the algorithm would keep the cry baby countries happy.

We're going to need to do some of them with Mercator: Extreme for variety sometime

Oh weird, South Korea usually goes along with the rest of the gang.

The primary stance is that Israel is doing to Palestine what Japan did to Korea from 1911-1945. They are forcefully annexed and colonized, then made second class citizens in their own land, had their homes stolen, property destroyed, and dehumanized. All before they were slowly ethnically cleansed to make way for Japanese settlers.

A process only interrupted by Japan’s capitulation at the end of WW2.

Korea has a bad and not pleasant experience with colonialism and is not friendly towards Israel. They are barely amicable due to being US partners.

Rare sK W.

The sK goverment was formed, mostly, by the koreans that collaborated with the japanese. I really hope the newer generations are able to see this and steer to a better path.

I wish we in Ireland had the balls the Koreans have.

Also Norway, Iceland and Switzerland? What's up with that. Maybe it has something to do with them not being EU members.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Norway apparently doesn't, Switzerland doesn't because muh neutrality.

The one thing the Balkans can agree on too

I'm so proud of my Central America

Looks like Sisi switched places with Bolsonaro so that Egypt gets to be the cucked nation instead of Brazil.

Also shocked Guatemala didn't go along with it. We have the third highest Palestinian population in all of Latin America but that doesn't stop our government from sucking off the Israelis at every given chance.

Are we sure about Egypt? Must be after the coup by Alsisi
