India and Bangladesh actually had an enclave exchange a few years back, the border is much cleaner now (with people living there finally getting their lives back) and it was resolved very peacefully.. 🙏
No it was solved in 2015. Bangladesh received 69 sq kilometres India received 28 sq kilometres. India lost around 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) to Bangladesh.
@@aestheticvibezz142 shouldnt be that much of a problem, consider most of them are peppered patches of farmlands here and there, belongs to indian or bangladeshi families respectively
3:36 Hey Drew, Chicago resident here. Road salt is a little different from table salt. Though they both have the same chemical composition, road salt is bigger and isn’t really edible. The larger chunks help to melt the ice that covers our roads during winter. Table salt is too small to be an effective de-icer.
Road salt can be rock salt, not purified or anything, fresh from the mine, just crushed to the desired grain size. Table salt needs to be refined and cleared.
@@HarpreetSingh-ko6fz I mean road salt is basically just sodium chloride. I’ve tasted it before and it tastes normal. Still wouldn’t use it to season my eggs.
In Switzerland only stores close to traffic hubs like interchange trainstations are allowed to be open on sundays, but the exact law varies from canton to canton. Cantons are like states, just way smaller
@@blueredbrick no problem, unfortunalty the problem with writen text on the internet is, without some sign like a ;) at the end of a text you can never know, if someone is making a joke/beeing sarcastic or if a question is serious
The Vietnam and Iraq wars were complete catastrophes. We Canadians dodged a bullet avoiding them. I am not saying this from an "America/West bad" perspective as I personally like both the US and Australia, but objectively speaking the Vietnam and Iraq wars damaged Australia's reputation and soft power and is often capitalized upon by China when they make overtures to the island countries surrounding Australia.
@@Bxll_Bxll They had a war against emus, so I’d say not. Maybe they rode in on kangaroos. It’s more logical. Australians also eat kangaroos (some do, some don’t), so their steed would double as an emergency snack.
When driving across a province like Saskatchewan, you want to get it done with as soon as possible. BC takes longer, but if you speed too much you're probably going off a cliff, and it's just so damn pretty.
@@appletree13 I'm from AB so, my drive home is just the mountains in the background. It gets old until you live somewhere else, or have a foreigner help you rediscover how god damn beautiful the rockies are.
As a Canadian, i would like to suggest against eating road salt. Often times it has a blue or some other tinge to it. Also they are in huge clumps compared to the small sand like grains of the table salt.
A viewer from the UK here. We also use road salt, I can tell you that it's this orange-y browny sandy sorta stuff made from very small jagged bits of what we call 'grit' that they spray on the roads, usually the night before it's meant to be snowy/icy. I don't know if it's the same for our Canadian friends across the pond, but that's just my 'two cents' as you would say.
8:21 On Sunday basically EVERYTHING is closed here in Switzerland. Except •Gasstations •Restaurants •Churches •Shops in the trainstation. You also are not allowed to make too much noise.
7:43 yeah Canadians speed quite a bit, to the point where it's accepted. Basically cars go at around 15km/h faster than the limit, and if you aren't you get honked at. Same for highways, except sometimes up to 20 is acceptable. The police (which are literally stationed behind every object they can hide behind, including road signs) don't really care unless you break 20
Germany is stipulated by some international law not to get involved in a war by choice (due to the two World Wars) and arms trade counts as getting involved. But Germany decided to send some stuff to Ukraine anyway.
Also some of the weapons aren't send by now, because the traine since some weaks Ukrainian Soldiers on it. And some weapons Eastern European countries sent, are just sent, because Germany is delivering new weapons to them, instead of Ukraine. But it's easy to bully a pacifist country as modern Germany, if you just have been decades militaristic like modern Poland, for example.
The problem with many "heavy" weapon systems from Germany is simply the fact, that the Ukrainian soldiers don't know them yet, so they would first have to take several weeks time to learn how to use them (this is what they are doing right now with the pzH2000 Howitzers). Therefore, for now it makes more sense to give them T-72 tanks from e.g. Poland, which they can use immediately, instead of German Leopard tanks that nobody in Ukraine is used to.
Okay look, we send them anti air, wich we don't use anymore with all the ammunition we had left, wich is still enough ammunition for the Gepards to shoot down the entire russian airfoece
7:42 Yes, Canadians really do speed. If you're not 20 over, you're getting tailgated. Also, I once heard us described as "Extremely confident jaywalkers", which is the most Canadian term I've ever heard
The thing with the Belgium/Netherlands border gore is that it doesn't matter since they're both shengen members so there's no physical border they also speak the same language so it's basically just a legal technicality in which country you are atm
95% of the Netherlands/Belgium border, Dutch is spoken on both sides. At the the most south of the Netherlands border ,French and German is spoken in that part of Belgium. The east cantons who were once part of Germany are a part of the French region of Belgium now. And yes the BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg) is the first free trade union in Europe.
speed limits in canada arent complex until you get to freaking highways. the speed limit on most highways is 100 kmph (62 mph) and people can drive 120 kmph (75 mph). i hate highways so much.
Drew: "why is Montenegro sleeping in the background?" I live on the far side of the continent from the balkans (Ireland), but the sleeping culture of Montenegro is so strong that I'd be suspicious if I saw a fully awake person claim they were Montenegran. Sleeping is what they do, and I applaud and envy them for that.
5:44 Belgium and the Netherlands still have this border gore because they don't hate each other enough to care. Travel is easy and there are no hostilities. India and Pakistan still have border gore because any talk of change in territory will be met with nuclear warfare. They are not the same.
Dude. The Jammu and Kashmir border gore is an atom compared to the Belgian-Dutch one. Atleast in Jammu and Kashmir you don't pass through the same country 20 times, and people actually have access to services.
As an Aussie I must say you did very with the accent and if you were an Aussie RU-vidr you’d be demonitised because you got the f word spot on in our accent
The French defeats in 1870 and 1940 was mainly due to Germans seizing the great hidden onion reserves in northeastern France. They are the source of the French army's power. They'd been moved further south after 1871, which was why the French won WW1, but out of overconfidence, they were reinstalled near the border after 1918. Franco-German wars have essentially relied on preserving or capturing this great resource.
Road salt is not as good tasting, is not broken down as much as table salt making it harder to eat, it tastes a little more like sea salt than table salt, and finally you are basically licking the road (don’t ask how I know what it tastes like)
3:10 This picture shows a Flakpanzer (tank with anti aircraft cannons) "Gepard". Introduced in the German army about 40 years ago, not in use anymore for about 10 years (i.e. the German army doesn't need them anymore itself ... unfortunately it seems that Germany didn't also store much ammunition for these cannons)
In the typical Burocratic style of Germany, around 200-300 Tanks can’t be send, because the paint isńt up to date and the paint needs to be ordered. It is suggested that if the problem isnt handled by ignoring it, it could take 9-12 months until the tanks can be send :(
You've heard of Ecuador's war on goats, but we did the same thing in Australia, except it was only to eliminate about 30000 goats and we didn't use some boring method of killing them, it's Australia, so we used helicopter snipers. Very effective.
3:45 Hurrah, hurrah! We bring the Jubilee! Hurrah hurrah! The flag that sets you free! Sing it like we sang it from Atlanta to the Sea, While we were marching through Georgia!
7:42 Yes people do 20 over everywhere unless it's a small city street. The speed limit on most highways is 100km/h (roughly 60mph) and everyone does 120+ and they want to raise it to be officially 110 or 120 but then everyone gonna be doing 150💀 i can't say I don't speed if there no traffic I usually sit at 140😂
6:39 "Alabama should have been an Austrian colony" "What?" "Alabama has incest. The Habsburgs, an Austrian dynasty, had invest. It's a match made in heaven." "Jesse, what the fuk are you taking about?"
Reasons the emu war failed: #1: Shooting small goats is not the same as shooting emus (emus are almost the size of ostriches). #2: Emus practice sentinel behavior, which is when a single member of the group doesn't eat and instead watches out for danger. The emus in particular make this already problematic behavior even worse by breaking up into many smaller groups who rapidly zigzag away when there is danger, this means that you would have to focus on one group while the rest escape unharmed. #3: Emus can survive multiple bullet wounds to the body, with the only way to kill an emu in one shot is to shoot it in the neck or head (if you look at a picture of an emu, you would see how that would be a problem).
8:28 Just gonna point this out because it's my native language, but la Bretagne is Brittany, not Britain. ...I mean, it can be both, technically, since Great Britain is la Grande-Bretagne, but most people would understand it as Brittany.
