    India and Brazil are next in line if Russia, China and Iran falls apart. Then only one great superpower will remain… the US.

    “Just fifty years ago” still has tangible effects on life today, settler. Hell, “just two hundred years ago” still has tangible effects on life today.

      Wait wait wait, are you trying to tell me that events in the past affect the present? That doesn’t even make sense. How can something that already happened in any way change what’s happening right now? Utterly insane.

      Not to mention that it’s ongoing. It’s been fifty years since they started to kinda almost nearly hide it.

        Love when the “ancient history” deflection is levied against Palestine specifically, as if the settlers committed atrocities some odd time ago (and not literally yesterday, today, tomorrow…)

          Hell even the ancient kindgom of Israel comitted atrocities against other Canaanite people, and the ones they couldn’t eradicate entirely were Philistines, from which Palestine was named (or Philistines were named for the land, i don’t remember). They even brag about those atrocities in Bible and whine about Philistine resistance, painting them as opressor, despite one look on maps, both back then and the current one will show easily who was opressor and agressor and who was the victim. And i won’t even mention the bible story of Samson and the current nuclear option named after him.

    Notice how there are two entirely separate Russia balkanizations shown. Proof that these maps have basically 0 to do with anything about minority nations self-determining or whatever. I guess that has always gone without saying though.

      Self determination in US terms ? means having a warlord rulling the entire ethno fascist state.

    Bloke’s clearly got an obsession with vexillology and is trying to cram his special interest into whatever political moment is currently going on.

    If you browse his Twitter, it’s got piles of contradictory balkanisation maps that just seem to exist so he can plaster them with as many flags as possible.

    LOL’d

    The fucker couldn’t even bother with “something something Africa Wagner” and just showed the Western dream map of balkanized Russia as proof of it’s colonialism.

    Yeah, process that last part, comrades, it gets funnier.

    I keep finding tweets of this man around the internet and by now I think he is genuinely insane.

      The guy straight up created a NATO fanclub with himself as a leader. It’s either grift or something is indeed nor right in his brain

      I assume every single one of his tweets is accompanied by a litany of flags and/or maps? That seems to be his one shtick.
