      @@nntflow7058 I hear immense hatred from this comment, I wonder where it's from?
      1, If you delete the mainland China...well I guess anyone tries that will be wiped out by Chinese and Russian armed forces first.
      2, If you delete ROC Taiwan...well I guess you'll be wiped out either by US Armed forces, or by an allied US and Chinese armed forces.
      Plus I guess the same can be said about any major countries in the world: for example if we deleted UK 100 years ago we would lose 50% of all the worlds problems in the entire modern history, if we delete US post WWII we would lose 50% of the world problems right now, so I find your words nothing but meaningless sentences of hate speech.

      You usually don't recognise because you claim it's your territory and then if others support your claim they can't recognise it either.
      Though it seems "what's a China?" over there is a bit of an exception.
      The issue is that if let's say Cyprus recognised the Turkish occupation then they cannot claim it's their country anymore, it's basically foregoing your rights.
      Kind of weird how you can't simply recognise an entity exists and still claim that if it was ever taken over by some entity you decided on then you'd support that.
      As in "X acknowledge north Cyprus is Turkish territory but if Cyprus was to invade it, X would side with Cyprus provided they actually win because we ain't doing nothing about it other than claim we don't acknowledge that a war happened"

      @@TLguitar It's not a religious agenda - Israeli Jews are in large part from the diaspora prior to the Holocaust - they are a _different people_ to the Arabs of the region. It's an agenda pertaining to ethnicity, since the Israeli government has been allowing illegal settlements in Palestine, forcing Arabs out of their native homeland and engaging in state violence against Arabs in Palestine.
      We're just a few steps short of an all-out ethnic cleansing going on in the apartheid state of Israel, and you're wilfully ignorant of simple reality if you deny this. Israel, however, has a lot of power and diplomatic value to the western world, hence why the Israel is pretty much the only country doing this kind of thing without it being denounced by any western government. No sanctions, nothing. Virtually all international rights organisations recognise that Israel is an apartheid state (as do the _African National Congress_ itself).
      All Israeli and Palestinian people should be able to live, equally, in their historic homeland in peace, under a government with _neither_ the Arab Muslims or Israeli Jews having hegemony. All that Palestinians want is fair political representation and for their land to stop being effectively stolen. We know from India and Pakistan that a two-state 'solution' will only lead to a forever war.
      Nobody should be persecuted in or forced out of their homeland because of their religion or ethnicity.

      @@EpicMiniMeatwad if you're talking about the alliance with both Koreas, Somaliland have been in an alliance with North Korea formally since 1967. And the alliance with South Korea was established in 1987, which I think are mainly because of what Somalis export to Korea. Things like Molluscs, Scrap Copper, fish and car parts. And I think the relationship between Somalia and North Korea is genuine enough, because Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia have already faced UN Sanctions for their alliance with NK. And one of the key reasons Somalia and other countries in the Horn of Africa are allied with NK, is mainly because of their assistance with the Soviets in Civil Wars. The 1974 overthrow of Ethiopia’s pro-American Emperor Haile Selassie and establishment of a Marxist government in Ethiopia caused the Soviet Union to redirect its military resources away from Mogadishu and toward building an alliance with Addis Ababa. North Korea followed the USSR’s lead, and provided support for Ethiopian forces during their successful efforts to withstand Somali tribal aggression in the 1977-78 Ogaden War. The 1991 collapse of Marxist regimes in Somalia and Ethiopia caused North Korea to adopt a more balanced approach to the region. During the 1990s, North Korea assisted Ethiopia’s counter-insurgency efforts in Eritrea and Tigray with provisions of ammunition, rocket launchers, mortar bombs, and grenades. Despite U.S. attempts to convince Ethiopia to comply with UN sanctions against North Korea, the Ethiopian military authorized a major purchase of North Korean weapons in 2007 to strengthen its counterterrorism campaign, further consolidating the Addis Ababa-Pyongyang relationship.

    Hey @RealLifeLore, just to clear some details you mentioned about Morocco. Morocco actually annexed its southern territories "western sahara" that belonged to it before the spanish colonization so obviously it's not an invasion. Moreover, the area you said is controlled by POLISARIO is in fact a buffer zone controlled by MINURSO. Lastly, the number of countries that recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over western sahara is more than 91 countries, for instance: USA, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, United Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia and the list also includes a huge number of african countries except for Algeria, Mauritania and South africa.

    FIFA has more countries because of things like where the UK is seen as one country, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own football association and so each gets recognised as a separate country.
    But in the Olympics, the country that’s recognised is Great Britain, so ends up with a team compromising of players from all these countries. Famously with Welsh players refusing to participate in the national anthem in 2012.

      @Sketchy Stuff basically, there is this urban legend about a man detained at the Tokyo airport in the 1960s. When airport security checked his passport, it states that he was from a country named 'Taured', which of course, doesn't exist. He was told to point in a map where 'Taured' is, he pointed at Andorra, which he said to never heard of. He was then placed in a hotel room for investigation, but disappeard the next morning

      Most politicians are basically toddlers with far too much power. Biden can rambles like a talkative 4 year old, Trump threw petty tantrums when he didnt get his way, Xi Jiping banned winnie the pooh because people think he looks like Pooh bear, Turkey continues to pretend like they didnt perpetrate a massive genocide like a little kid denying they ate all the cookies while they've still covered in chocolate and crumbs, China still acts like the great leap forward didnt kill nearly 100mil like a toddler pretending like the dog was the one who used a sharpie to draw all over the walls, and the Kim dynasty is like a spoiled child whose parents spoiled then rotten and now they throw violent tantrums if you dont give them ice cream for breakfast.

      Information given in the video is wrong about cyprus.
      It does not depend on reality. Turkiye did operation by the rights it has from the agreement of Zurich. Guarantor rights given to United Kingdom, Greece and Turkiye before the foundation of Cyprus Republic. Therefore today in every peace talk, greks and their sly look PM, offer to cancel Guarantorship. So the operation is legal.
      Also operation did after the Eoka (which is paramiliter racist greek group) killed people in mass graves and Turks in all over the islnd killed by them. Even today you could see the mass graves; which contain all women, children and very few elder. Even 16 days babies burried alive just because they are Turkish.
