God I hate separatists so much like just accept your current country why go start one from scratch💀 But I love unionists cus that’s the right thing for example I think the levant should be a one state 🤨
Well that’s a first - being given a geography/history lesson by an American! Most of the Americans I’ve met only know of three countries; America, Russia and China, although they don’t know where Russia and China are?
Formaly block independence referendum - this is freedom in west. Military ocupation - this is freedom in east. People who want independence - sit silent and wait
Imagine being tens of millions strong in a single area mostly settled by them and still just being a minority. They are right to be scared cause they would not be afriendly neighbour, not without reason.
Just a note on the Scottish independence movement: with the utter collapse of the SNP (who 50% of them aren't nationalists anyway) and the fact that the Alba party are politically irrelevant and the next election projected to be won by the pro-union Scottish Labour, its not going anywhere anytime soon, its basically dead in the water. Its going to take at least another 20 years to get another independence referendum on the table since the UK Supreme Court recently ruled that Scotland doesn't have the legal authority to hold an independence movement whenever they want
I dont understand why, if a EU member would split in 2 parts, 1 part should stay in the EU and 1 part should leave. To me they should both stay. I can understand if they must both leave, but this 50/50 thing is ridiculous.
If youre going to say roc china on taiwan is “claimed” by prc china then at 3:36 it would make more sense to say that abkhazia and south ossetia in georgia are “claimed” by russia.. vs saying claimed by georgia when its a part of georgia.
as indonesian i get why west papua want to be independence, as indonesia herself was invade and colonize by various europeans for roughly 350 years and somehow these european countries and U.S. still want to colonize us one more time because we have vast amount of natural resources that banned it raw material to be exported unless you all build smelter here in indonesia, so get y'all reasons straight
West Papuan people have internet access and if there are still oppression there it will be easy to upload it on RU-vid or other media. There is no ban on RU-vid, Facebook, Twitter or another social media out there in Indonesia or West Papua. Except porn site or porn affiliated social media like reddit.
Why would New Caledonia want independence when they are part of a very powerful country that can let them travel basically anywhere, with an economy that uses the Euro? It sounds like a terrible idea just like Scottish independence- Scotland is better of with the UK
14:07. One side normally turns out more to vote but covid was a problem. The country asked to hold in person ballots or delays both were denied. And mass mail-in voting happened instead. And the masses won, against what the masses were have been bitching about. It is a tale as old as time
I don't think a single simple majority vote should suffice for independence, or anything else of that level of permanence. 2 separate votes 5 years apart requiring supermajorities for one or both. That way it isn't a whim. The UK should have handled BREXIT similarly.
I once heard that the ganados (zombies) from RE4 were based on Basque Country folk, and now that’s all I think of when I hear it talked about. TBH Basque Country and language are so mf interesting
This guy was an extremist. He knew and was warned that the Senegalese would kill him. Yet he still went against the law. Play stupid game, win stupid prize. Can’t feel bad for him.
