Didn’t know saddam hussein was a colossal giant
The US was wrong about Iraq having nukes, but they were close to the truth. In reality, they were pumping Saddam full of enriched uranium so that he’d mutate and grow to a titanic size.
The US wanted to create Titans? Sick dude
sadam was the nuke this whole time……
You’d think he wouldn’t have been able to hide in that hole.
Who do you think the sphinx was modeled after?
Should pass this on to anyone who has an “opinion” about the current situation.
Call that a loss of the right to self-determination
I love the way this cake is cut
No, Gross.
just in case the meaning is lost on you, that’s loss
I guess so, I don’t get the joke
uh uh, uh, uh…
I’m going to color the whole thing red and blue to reflect who should be the rightful owner of the Middle East- Liechtenstein!
Fuck Liechtenstein, Fuck Hilti, Fuck monarchy.
You better watch what you say or Liechtenstein will send all three members of its Army after you.
The Liechtenstein-lords are probably able to finance several Wagners.
Liechtenstein also has no army since 1868, but a police of ~85 officers.
Monarchies have to be toppled by principle.
You must be fun at parties.
That person doesn’t get invited to parties.
The lord of Liechtenstein is a petty misogynistic asshole though. He deserves the Guillotine.
I don’t like your parties.
Wait, what are the rest of us missing? Is Liechtenstein actually a state or is that a joke? What’s going on?
Liechtenstein is a real country between Switzerland and Austria haha. They have no military and were accidentally invaded by the Swiss when a bunch of their soldiers got lost one time
Not just the one time. The swiss bombed it via artillery once (blew up some deck chairs in the only ski resort), started a forest fire with anti-air missiles, set up an observation post, and had soldiers march in like 5 times.

It wasn’t with no regard. They were deliberately giving minorities power over majorities and splitting ethnic groups with borders to fuel conflicts.
Yeah, I think folks here are not giving them enough credit. It wasn’t just some random dude drawing lines for no reason.
The purpose of a lot of what Britain was doing was to prevent unification into a new Ottoman Empire successor. They intended the internal conflict in the region.
And it worked at keeping the Middle East busy and Europe safe for the most part (if you don’t count the incalculable death toll having them fighting amongst themselves has caused, and random terrorist attacks).
It’s done. That’s it. Just the whole thing. Let’s run with it.
One country called country and one language called language.
The whole US is now just Wyoming, social experiment.
Why?
First state I could think of that didn’t bring anything to my mind.
Don’t miss your chance to embed pieces of countries into one another. Go wild, let’s have nested enclaves several layers deep!
You mean like the Dutch-Belgian border
You should have seen India-Bangladesh border pre 2015.
Make it worse by enveloping the country that envelopes you that you are enveloping, a bit like this 🎯
like a tic tac inside a polo inside a bagel inside bangladesh
I remember learning that there was a joke (but quite possibly legit) notion that the reason there’s that huge, sharp indent in the Jordanian border is because Winston Churchill was drunk while he was splitting up the map and hiccuped, and that’s how that weird part of the border came to be.
Let’s use a spirograph
Pretty sure this was from the America book by Jon Stewart, yeah? That book was a trip.
Reminded me of this robot chicken skit

There’s 300million people and 7 million km². I’d give everyone 20m² and an AK (making sure to split up families as much as possible). Surely nothing will go wrong with this wholely equitable division of land!
I’m calling dibs on the peak of mount Ararat.
I want to create a Greater Persian Empire that includes Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. This piece of paper limits my creative freedom.
Is this Arthur Balfour’s colouring book?
