Good moment to point people's attention to the old, original Khmer empire (the one that brought forth stuff like Angkor Wat). Super interesting, Fall of Civilizations podcast has a very nice episode about it and I'm sure others do as well. 

Seems interesting. Now following the pod and plan to give it a listen soon.

Since Russia organizes a referendum outside of Russia, we can organize a referendum inside of Russia :p

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

We should organize a referendum on Far East of Russia which is occupied from China 150 years ago and ask those who are forced to migrate and settled inside China for generations to vote.

What I imply is that the world is not functioning by idealism but power and strength. Otherwise we could see 1800+ countries.

And of course the point in the video was to show what kind of bullshit it is to first attack region X of another country, then drive out everyone except for your own 'group', then ask them if they want region X to become part of your country.

 

It's not even Russia to begin with, but Russia is (basically) holding a referendum there. It is beyond absurd in a situation that, thanks to Russia, is already beyond absurd to begin with.

We all know it's just a show. If referendum counts(for Russia) then why bother to make nuclear bombs. Every government just want to legitimate its moves no matter how naive it seems for outsiders. Chinese will not recognize those parts as Russian territory anyway.

Yeah apparently except Putin´s regime only Syria reported possible acceptance of this masquerade, if true, than it will be 2 nations which can be actually called a plural :p
