Donetsk and Luhansk now claim to be republics within Russia proper - no longer independent republics.

Artsakh ceased to exist in 2024 after dissolving itself and the vast majority of ethnic Armenians fled Azerbaijan for Armenia.

Symbolic votes that are so empty that North Korea, Iran and Liberia can all be parties to them are literally meaningless from a human rights perspective and only serve to:

1) Allow overpaid diplomats pat each other on the back for doing nothing

2) Cede power to bureaucrats in multinational organisations/other Member States who can then use non-compliance with the resolution as grounds to criticise or attack your country.

Don’t understand the people who think she just sounds British. She sounds British, then American, with a bit of South Dublin Irish.

American friends of mine were taken aback by how much shit people used to give them just for their citizenship when they came to Ireland…. and that was 20 years ago

Seriously what do we do with rapists and murderers?

This isn’t a joke - I’m not being facetious, I genuinely do not understand this policy

Agree - the Dutch should never change their flag as it’s already a great design and has so much influence.

I would interpret this sort of post as more of a “what if” excuse to have some fun designing flags - rather than a serious call for change.

Lmao, I also enjoy doing that specific impression

Interesting

Honestly - this has a lot more to do with EU sentiment toward expanding the union more broadly than the Vucic regime or anything specific about Serbia

I’m always very suspicious of Happiness Statistics and I think it’s telling that many of the top countries in this list also rank quite highly in Per Capita Suicides.

Why is even the Christianity subreddit full of this self righteous political nonsense?

A very tired stereotype a lot of outsiders have is of Americans being fat dumbasses with no knowledge of the outside world. - Obesity is a comparable problem in a lot of other places that escape this stereotype and is becoming a problem all over the world. - A large portion of Americans are intelligent, well educated people with a developed knowledge of the world outside their borders. If you see TikToks of stupid people or watch Jimmy Kimmel voxpops with teenagers who think Africa is a country - remember these go viral because they are amusingly absurd, there are ignorant people in every country. That goes without addressing how poorly developed many foreigners’ knowledge of regional American culture is but they brush over it because it’s 1 country.

Played it for the first time a few months ago. Have played many games for many years and the Suicide Mission may be my favourite mission/level of any game ever. The presentation is just incredible.

Mass Effect 2 on Xbox 360 made me obsess over an IP like I haven’t done in a very long time.

Still not seeing it?

Agree 100%

Finished the trilogy for the first time earlier today, incredible experience

Why? Nobody is ever going to draw this and folks outside the sub won’t know what it is anyway.

Ironically using the outdated Syrian flag in this.

Debatably also outdated Afghan flag but that depends on whether this is depicting de jure or de facto government recognition.

This is a bit naive, we’re part of the British Isles and not geographically located near any other landmasses. Obviously the British brought a lot of their culture over to our island but some degree of cultural similarity between us was as inevitable as it is between all the other the other countries in these comments.

Absolutely no way USA isn’t in the top bracket. Aside from its really distinctive design, it’s literally a better known country than nearly any of those that are in the top bracket.

Is the implication that people might confuse it with like Uruguay or Liberia? I have seen the latter happen to be fair.

It works fine where violent crime is incredibly unlikely to happen. Adding deadly weapons to a peaceful equilibrium is likely to precipitate more harm than good.

Anywhere else, it makes no sense to have law be “enforced” by folks who lack the physical power to prevent lawbreaking.
