Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Interesting how French Guiana counts as a part of France and Greenland doesn't count as a part of Denmark, in spite of both basically having the same degree of dependence from their colonizers.

Also apparently being a founding member of NATO doesn't make you an ally of the US when you're Portugal or Iceland.

Greenland doesn't count as a part of Denmark

Ukraine killed itself for the empire. This is how they are repaid. Does loyalty and submission mean nothing to the US? I don't understand. Isn't it leadership 101 to stand behind those loyal to you? The lack of honor and respect is making me surprisingly angry.

What happened with the balitc chihuahua ( Pomeranian?) countries?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Chain yard dogs aren't sitting at the masters table.

Baltic countries are usually not counted as Pomerania, it's historical lands on the southern shores of Baltic, roughly from Vistula Lagoon in the East to Lubeck in the west.
