Fun fact: You can find a lot of "Made in unknown region" products in Bhutan.
Made In Taiwan
Lol
@Hamsterold what the ####
Hi
@Hamsterold Not for sale
When I saw this video, I didn't think it would be about controversial countries that for whatever reason, didn't get diplomatic recognition from a number of other places. I thought it would be about places that really, really, REALLY dumb people genuinely believed were "fake places."
Haha same
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!
Transnistria doesnt exist. Its part of Moldova 🙃
It takes balls to be a tiny country right next to China and yet not recognize it. Respect for Bhutan.
@Madsam 03 Just like Japan is protected by US
@Ryan Brown 🤣 it certainly is protected by India. With a huge army, and they happily relinquished their defence and foreign affairs to India.
Because it is protected by India
@Madsam 03 Guys, this user Madsam is a liar.
Bhutan gave its foreign policy and military rights to India to stay safe from China because China was invading Tibet. Please check Wikipedia. Don't even believe my own comment.
The fact that this guy's comment had a lot of likes gave me chills as to how easy is it to spread misinformation. Holy!
I got accquainted with Bhutan in school. Its famous for (perhaps hilariously) having a king that is enlightened and struggling to implement democracy while his subjects keep resisting and insisting that he should have all the power.
@Mary Lea pretty sure you're also part of a monarchy. Sure, the royal family is apolitical, unless you express an opinion of ending the monarchy. XD
@Nick Knife I'm stuck in Northern Ireland, subject to a democracy I really don't want.
Shit. For years I've been saying that I'd rather die than live in a monarchy (we expelled our royal family at the end of WW2. Some of them wanted to side with Nazis, after we took them down and replaced them with those royals that wanted to side against Nazis, they, after some time, ran away with the royal treasury and, reportedly, lost it at sea. Years back we allowed them to come back, but some of them are trying to restore a monarchy), but I'd might like to live in Buthan, the royalty there seems dope. XD
China? You mean Northern Bhutan?
@mo mq nope,the whole universe is South Korea
West north Korea
Tibet ;)
Americans: Where is China?
Bhutan: Who is China?
ROC: Why is China
@EBGamez1 3000 bc - present
@Vrezhul They do. In my 6th grade social studies, I was expected to learn every country in Africa. Most Americans should know where China is.
Pick a smaller, less influential country and you might stump the average American.
But no one ask : How is China
Let’s take the moment to appreciate how much effort RealLifeLore puts into his content for us. Great job
And let's ask another question: STATE of Palestine? Since when exactly? Saying something is true doesn't make it true. What, 2+2 = 5? I say it's 5. Does that make it true? You're either trying to be politically correct, lying or just sloppy with facts. Time will tell if and how you answer. 😡
Could really do without the clickbait titles though tbh...I mean claiming that people "think" South Korea is FAKE is just obnoxious
Props to Bhutan for essentially saying: "I'm not dealing with you kids until you learn how to behave!"
When I first moved to the UK and I saw a girl wearing a sweatshirt that said “Snowdonia” I honestly thought it was made up. I assumed it was some local spoof on some name like Narnia. Only years later I learned it was a real place haha
Other correction: the ''turkish'' part of Cyprus is not legally considered as a part of Turkey. Just look at almost any map. It was a big fault to define turkish borders, by encluding the nothern Cyprus
@emrefifty My comment is cancelled for some reason. What you said has no historical foundation....
@Stelios there was a military coup which wanted to unite with greece aka enosis. Turkish Cypriots suffered violence, rape, stealing of property etc. turkey stepped in to protect our own folks. the north voted to unite in a referendum but the south against uniting. Who Is in the right now?
@Derin Nothern Cyprus was illegally conquered by Turks in 1974. So, there is no independent country of "North Cyprus". It should normally be a part of the Cyprus country...
Thanks for pointing that out, Im from northern cyprus :)
PRC: You don’t exist, we are China
ROC: No you don’t exist, we are China
Bhutan: There is no China
@Andrew Bloom China ain’t as bad as it seems, I know people who lived in China say it’s fine, as long as you don’t protest, which sucks
Now, North Korea is just plain awful, and Taiwan used to be pretty damn bad too
And Bhutan only recognizes 54 countries 😆
@mandelbrodt bro you good?
That was really, genuinely interesting. It also reinforced for me that international politics is as pett and pouty as playground politics 😀
The only difference between men and boys is the price of their “toys”.
I remember declaring that my bedroom was it's own independent country, the authorities did not take well to me setting up this country in our home!
Normally I like RealLifeLore videos, but this one annoyed me by continuously conflating "recognition" and "admitting existence" in the narrative. It's clear what is meant, but the conflation is problematic, specially in certain cases, where the countries are actually struggling to maintain their existence in the absence of recognition. (Plus, we all know that there's only one country which doesn't actually exist ─ Finland.)
Yeah whatever, if Finland doesn't exist, then where in Earth does Santa Claus live? Are you going to tell me he doesn't exist either?
Pity, this video totally misses such interesting cases as Sovereign Military Order Of Malta and Sealand.
SMOM is recognised by the whole of EU and 5 other states, including Russia. And it has diplomatic relations with 112 states including US and the Vatican. This country also has an observer status at UN and a seat at Council of Europe. SMOM has only 3 citizens and it’s territory is basically a house in Rome. Which is seen as sovereign territory by Italy.
Principality Of Sealand is a self proclaimed country, founded by one British guy back in late 60s. To make a long story short, that guy took hostage a couple of his friends who were like him behind foundation of Sealand when they tried to overthrough him as government. In order to let them free he made such countries as Germany, France and the Netherlands make official attempt to contact Sealand’s Foreign Ministry through official diplomatic channel. And the British court found him unguilty because of ex territorial nature of the crime, to be a subject of Sealand’s own enforcement.
So that means at least 3 major powers de facto recognised Sealand contacting it via official diplomatic channel and one major power recognised it’s territorial souverenity and also as a subject to international law
Everytime he said, "Agreed to recognise", I just pictured two presidents shaking hands and going, "Alright fine, you exist"
thats basicly not far from how it goes, it only takes some salut shots in recognition of a newly made murican flag to enstate the US as real
@chickenbootsauce ??? ok???
This is... Not that far from the truth tbf.
@Keter Patrol wow very creative reply.
Unlimited creativity
I was under the impression that the single unrecognized country has never been a “country,” per se; rather a largely inhospitable named region set aside thousands of years ago for other countries to practice war games. I might be wrong on that. I’ll double check and get back to you.
Bhutan really went “Fuck it, ZERO China Policy”
I stand by my fact, as a Canadian. regardless of what my Govt says... I believe there's more than 200 countries world wide.
I believe Palestine, Kosovo, the Turkish Republic of Cyprus, Western Sahara and wait no more
I was so suprised and shocked to know that Jordan recognizes Israel for the longest time I thought Jordan was one of Palestine's biggest supporters but I don't fully understand this whole recgonizing and not recognizing countries.
@Ori or they just want it to be resolved peacefully and don't want to fight with their neighbor anymore. Maybe they think that recognizing both sides have a right to exist will make it easier to negotiate between the two sides to find a lasting agreement for peace
There is no "friend" or "enemy" in such conflicts, you not understanding shows why some people are never going to be leaders, no problem though, not everyone should be a leader.
@Ori Ya i thought something along those lines, Thanks for clarifying.
Israel signed a peace agreement with a couple of islamic states which includes giving land/weapons and etc.. Thats the only reason why a country like Jordan will sign a peace agreement with Israel.
The chad Bhutan:
- *Doesn’t recognize any government as China*
- *Refuses to elaborate*
- *Leaves*
@Nightcor EDM Do you even know some people in slums are rich because they want to pretend?
@Nightcor EDM Cope.
@Varun Nair you have to learn to ignore people like this. Like when people talk about my state in America it is about how dumb we are. But I know that my state is great just like India :). Great places with many great people
WOW. I saw this video for the first time and immediately thought of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Russia and Belarus are the only two countries recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.
Omg this is absolutely fascinating ! Thank you for sharing this.
Oh I thought you were going to discuss the weird beliefs of some US citizens that Australia is a fantasy, and similar odd beliefs about other countries. It's always made me scratch my head when I hear of it....
It's a joke
16:00 Actually Somaliland is recognized by Taiwan(ROC) since 2020. This might make Somaliland a bit more recognized.
By who ?
This is so entertaining. Geopolitics is so complicated and petty all at the same time.
@hamood habibi Ahh yes, so let’s just ignore all the countless real documentations by historians, disturbing photographs of dead Armenian people, including old people, women and children.
@Cybernaut13 armenia lost
@Arthas Menethil winnie the pooh and pooh bear are same thing
@hamood habibi armenian genocide by turkey and iraq genocide by america all exist
I thought this was going to be a video listing countries like Finland and New Zealand, where some people joke it's just ocean and not an actual country
This was more informative, though, thanks a lot RLL!
@jabbadabo Oh, New Zealand doesn't show up on quite a bunch of world maps, often as just blue, ocean space, leading to NZ's people joking that they don't exist.
With Finland I'm not quite sure why, but people, especially Finnish, often joke that they don't exist; that's it just a sea and maps and people who tell you otherwise are just in a big conspiracy.
Not sure why, but it's funny sometimes!
Wait people think new Zealand and Finland are an ocean??? What does that even mean lol
14:50
Wiki: The sovereign status of the Artsakh is not recognized by any United Nations member state (including Armenia), but has been recognized by Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia; Transnistria is not recognized by any UN member state, while the latter two have international recognition from several UN member states.
“So. Do you guys think Palestine is a real country?”
Cameroon: * _sweats profoundly_ *
Add two more since this video: Donetsk and Luhansk are both now recognized by each other, Russia, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. Statements have been made by Belarus, Central African Republic, Kyrgystan, Nicaragua, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Artsakh that suggest recognition without officially doing so.
There is no country called arsah
Actually Syria did it and made the recognition officially
Bhutan: Ah yes, The Great Wall of unclaimed territory
Lol
You mean south Mongolia 🤔
More Like Great Wall Of *Water*
mmm yes
Maybe it's great wall of Taiwan
As an American I can confirm, I didn't believe the entirety of Europe existed up until this point
good work! and i don't know your sources but i would recommend checking out a wide range of them, because some information here is very one sided and politically influenced, as to my knowledge
Tiny correction: *my answer to the question depends on who answers the question.
Also, Hitler and Franco didn’t have a close friendship. Their states were on friendly diplomatic terms, but personally Franco and Hitler didn’t think highly of each other.
12:17 Okay that is a very unique mix of nations that support/disapprove of the conflict zone.
I wonder what the background story is in their decision.
US, France and UK wanted to remove Spain influence in North Africa, in order to do so, they pressured Spanish Military to leave the area at the same time a "non -armed invasion" of millions of Morocco civilians marched tothe Spanish Defensive positions. Without US, France and UK support, Spain would have shoot and dispersed this crowd, and held the agreed Democratic elections with the saharawis to decide their future. However Spain instead of defying the great Allied powers, decided to betray the saharawis and withdrew, immediatly after Morocco unleashed their armies and started a massive ocupation of the Area and the subsequent genocide, abuse and war. Its a matter that "everyone" agrees to not speak about, including Spain itself, because its such an embarrasing abuse of power from US and the defenetive defeat of Spanish Geopolitical interests. Since then Spain shut down all their international affairs and merely stays as a Otan ally. Nowadays US keeps favoring Morocco to keep any Spanish ambitions at bay, which is sad and hilarious at the same time.
I love the confused amusement in his voice when he says, “Denmark?”
@Albin J. Svane but that doesn't make any sense? Since most somali immigrants in Scandinavia are from Somalia not Somaliland (the ones from somaliland live mainly in the UK since Britain used to be our former coloniser). Most somalis from Somalia are highly against the independence of somaliland.
Edit: i'm not being biased but it will be for the best if more UN members recognise Somaliand, since Somalia was the main reason as to way to why the civil war even exists. Besides that somaliland has more stability/safer and doesn't have any piracy or terrorism like Somalia.
@Puss Grey & Puss Meng Danish territory- while it’s large, less than 70.000 people live here
The UKIP political party in the UK also recognised them at one point, don't know if they still do as the party's been mired in infighting for years and the leader who did that left and now pops up occasionally as leader of other fringe movements (Nigel Farage, the man behind the brexit vote happening).
They may see it as the next “Greenland” lmao
@Marko Nikolić Denmark is a small, free and democratic country just as Somaliland and with about the same population size. While Denmark has been for more than a thousand years Somaliland is quite new on the international arena. Even though Denmark for international political reasons might not be able to officially recognise Somaliland it would feel natural for Denmark to support the freedom and democracy of Somaliland in any way possible, and I am quite sure that the vast majority of Danes would back this up (should they become aware that Somaliland actually exists; not many know of Somaliland as separate from Somalia).
Armenia didn't recognize Karabakh, as I know. Check info in wiki:
The sovereign status of the Artsakh is not recognized by any United Nations member state (including Armenia), but has been recognized by Transnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia;
What a club to be in)
'most of the world takes Serbia's side'
actually, from about 2014-2019 or so, Kosovo had a small majority, but even with that down, it is basically as 50/50 as you can get. Due to shifting governments, 1 or 2 of these governments that reverted back to recognising Serbia's claim anyway, may shift back too
but it's not really 'most' recognising Serbia, or at most, barely by a squeak. By votes, Kosovo has to be one of the most controversial countrys on the planet
Because they are not self sustained and were "made" by horible violation of international law.Kosovo is Serbia.
This video is a lot less dry than ones I’ve seen a year or so ago. Good stuff.
you make some quality ass content and its always consistent. thank you!
Normal conversation in Bhutan:
"He looks foreign, where's he from?"
"Oh, he's Chinese."
"He's what?"
"He's from the Ocean East of Tibet
@Julius Brauner yea
@Yeshi Yangzom I know they're different things but if nationality is not a proper demonym then one would refer to their ethnicity or race instead, with Han being the main ethnicity of China
@Xryeau _ honestly yeah maybe this is the way!? 😳
*-Bhutan doesn’t recognize government as China*
*-Doesn’t say why at all*
*-Leaves*
Bhutan: "Where do they come from?"
America: "China"
Bhutan: "They come from Japan, right?"
America: "..."
Bhutan: *"Right?"*
I would love to see an entire video about Bhutan
They dont recognise a lot of nations
Buhtan: The only reason we haven't claimed that unclaimed land is because there's a random huge mass pf people there....acting like a nation. As if....
Hearing Bhutan be referred to as being like a "Chad" was something I never thought I would hear
@Epic B wtf man. NOT GIVING RECOGNITION just because of flag?!
Meanwhile, great to hear and see my home country Somaliland.
I'm not sure if I should be offended or not.
@FreddieHg37 Oh no definitely a Nepalese or someone of Nepalese origin. I've seen them comment derogatory things about Bhutan on other videos.
Excellent and very up-to-date video. Thanks!
I used to drive along the road between North and Southern Cyprus quite regularly, the Turkish are so lazy, they put out card board cut outs at night along the boarder and sometimes forget to bring them in, so you can see them from the road during the day.
17:33
You used the wrong map.
That shows the whole J&K and Ladakh region aren't part of India.
It highlights it in Skyblue, maybe as a sign that it doesn't solely Belong to anyone, I mean 2 country both claim it's theirs and with china having also joining.
Not recognizing China in the UN, despite China being on the UN Security Council is a bit hilarious.
Azerbaijan: I don't like Armenia.
Pakistan: And I took that seriously.
@I'm in love with Hyuka's voice. Lol nomadic Armenians, then from where they suposedly come from?
@I'm in love with Hyuka's voice. Targets Armenians done by Turkey
@I'm in love with Hyuka's voice. Armenian genocide Date1915-1917 Target Ottoman Armenians
@MrDAVIDJI lol
@MrDAVIDJI dude I'm not talking about middle ages stuff y'know? Armenian genocides to Azerbaijanians started after 1990 approximately and there's video,pic,document facts of them too. We have people who witnessed those crimes with their own eyes
Excellent overview. The ideal of nationalism is fluid, and is causing Humanity much suffering. Consider this: the planet's surface is moving (tectonic plates) slowly changing the world as this nationalism rages. In several million years, what will the current state borders mean? Assuming Humanity survives millions of years?
First we need to make it to the 22nd century and honestly I don't like our chances
The answer to my problems with political countries.
I always kept getting different results.
My grandmother only recognized the Pope as a leader. Every-time I went out she warned me: Don't go too far or you may drop off the edge of the world!
I love learning from your channel!
Bhutan: *Doesn't recognise both PRC and ROC as countries*
Bhutan: _"i play both sides so i would always come on top"_
Lmao too many of you people can't take a joke!
Whole world to Bhutan : so who do you recognise
Bhutan : No
🇮🇳❤🇧🇹
You jest, but this is exactly how Bhutan has remained so long. Playing China and India against one another.
"Two Chinas bickering"
-Bhutan barges in-
"Neither of you exist"
-refuses to elaborate
-leaves
Shooot, I thought Burkina Faso was fake the first time I ever heard of it.
And I’ve always had my nose in an encyclopedia ever since I was a kid.
I was ashamed.
"Chooses the Chad way"
Weird line to use in a subject where Chad is the name of a country lol
Another fun fact: Taiwan recognizes Somaliland, we send ambassadors to each other’s country :)
10:34 refusing with A PASSION, if you ask any Serbian is Kosovo Serbia, you would ALWAYS get a yes.
So this is why “Taiwan number one” meme hits so hard. Wow
6:10 your map shows the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as being part of Israel; the international community including the UN Security Council rejects that claim (except the US since 2019).
Someone told me they were from Macedonia. I said, "is that a country?" She says, "No, it's a salad."
I'm kinda a supporter of these regions, kinda because sometimes it really feels like nobody would benefit from split ups in any way rather than pride. You know, Brexit is a good example of super foolish majority take. So I definatly see why Kosovo, a 90% ethnic Albanian province, would prefer to be part of Albania rather than hostile and non-muslim Serbia while Catalonia is telling themselves lies about benefits. And also while I hate Russia invasion and nothing justify their attack, Donbass actually want to be Putin lover and Ukraine actually benefited from Donbass region going rebellious as Ukraine finally could choose all the way pro west leaders without these pesky pro Russians mixing polls so it should be a win-win for two sides.
China: hey Bhutan, want a high speed railroad?
Bhutan: who’s asking
@Blowing winds 🍃 imagine having to name a country isreal just so people believe in its existence sad anyways team palestine
Hahahahhaha
@scammerZONE it is. It even has historical evidence to back up its existence lol.
As a Serb, if you ask any Serb they would tell you "Kosovo je Srbija" due to the historical signifiance the area has for our own history. I personally don't care too much, but I was not expecting to find an issue so close to home mentioned in this video, and it made the rest of the video and the parts before it kinda...hit different, for the lack of a better word.
@Yordan Stefanov because it happened centuries ago when was war and exchanging land normal this happened 15 y ago it's fresh and "not normal". Imagine that Turks tomorrow start rebellion in Germany and gain independence with Berlin within. How would Germans and world react to it. Yea all would play different.
Most countries have lost their original lands, such as Serbia and Kosovo case.
Germany lost Prussia, which was German for 700 years,
Bulgaria also lost Dobrogea, which was the first region bulgarians conquered.
I dont see germans and bulgarians pissed so much about that. Cheers
Bhutan: * is adjacent to China *
Also Bhutan: “I’ll ignore that”
I met a bloke who tried to tell me New Zealand didn't exist, not that it isn't recognised...that it physically didn't exist.
Then where would all the sheep live? 🤣
“Russia would never recognize Kosovo because it would lead to break away provinces of Russia!” *continues to mention how Russia recognizes other break off states from Georgia
"Bhutan doesn't recognize the existance of China"
I laughed out loud.
"What's north of here?"
"Just ocean!"
@UNIVERSE The Tibetans are. so yeah you could say that. fyi so are mongolians.
@Tripserpentine but are Chinese also Tibetan Buddhist?
It's called Tibet, Bhutanese are Tibetan buddists.
The Philippine sea
Bottom line: Turkey is mentioned in almost every problematic situation regarding unrecognized countries.
I think it's a little bit unfair for palestine since it has recognition by 138 un member states, so does israel but israel is a UN member, but palestine isn't, I sometimes wonder why this world even exists
@3:00 to all the taiwan independence movement enthusiasts, taiwan's government itself does not even recognize taiwan as an independent country. there is only one china.
@RealLifeLore not even Armenia recognizes Nagorno Karabakh (aka Artsakh), so you were mistaken stating that only single UN member recognized it. NK "republic" is viewed by many as a separatist group (being one of the main reasons of the conflict)
"While FIFA recognizes X Number of countries" - Ah yes, the best way to determine if a country is rule - CAN THEY KICK THE BALL
kick balls
@Ming Zhong can they hit a ball?
Does FIFA recognize Vatican City? If they did, then Pope Francis is ballin.
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula. It has an area of 6.7 km2 (2.6 sq mi) and is bordered to the north by Spain. The landscape is dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, at the foot of which is a densely populated town area, home to over 32,000 people, primarily Gibraltarians.
@Braun30 Wikipedia also says the UK is 4 countries.
China and Taiwan: "Which one: China or Taiwan?"
Bhutan: "No."
You might have to add 2 more "countries" if Putin recognises the 2 Donbass "republics"...
I used to believe Transylvania was a fake place that just happened to appear in multiple works of fiction regarding vampires.
@ʚïɞ TotalDramaCourtney ʚïɞ One of the oldest vampire stories from Europe I can think of is about Jure Grando from a village in Istria called Kringa. That's in Croatia. It was mentioned in " The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola " by Johann Weikhard Freiherr von Valvasor.
Far from that 😅
I think Serbs were the ones who invented vampires. An Irish writer just heard about Vlad the Impaler (which people called Vlad Dracul because of his cruel punishments + his dad liked drinking blood) and created the story of Dracula. However it is just a false stereotype. There are no vampires in Romania or Transylvania and the whole Dracula story was created by a foreign man, not Romanians themselves. So yeah as a child I was surprised when I heard people from other countries think we are the succesors of vampires 🤣
However, Transylvania was never an independent state so it figures that some people don't know it exists. After The Big Union in 1918 it became a part of The Kingdom of Romania and its still a part of Romania nowdays.
In Geography I have learnt that "Taiwan" is only the name of the political state and not of the island. The name of the island still is Formosa. Same with Ceylon/Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka being the state name and Ceylon the name of the island.
@Chien Sun thank you for elaborating
Half right, Formosa is a very old name like used before 1945, and Taiwan is widely used as this island name after 1945 , The official name of the country on this island is Republic of China , once to be a real China government in 1911-1971, but due to some historic and modern issues ROC failed it, which led to very complicate situations like can’t be a UN member (because UN only recognize one China)
btw I’m Taiwanese
Title: "The 15 Countries People Think Are FAKE"
Actual video: "15 countries not recognized by some nations for geopolitical reasons"
Exactly, come to 🇮🇱 to have some fake sun on the fake beach
First rll videi i see - hey this is pretty good
Second one - i think I'll sub.
This is the third. I have made a mistake.
it's technically clickbait but honestly the video was still pretty good
@backrooms cat er du dét?
@deidara _ im also a norsk
I love how this video basically taught us that Bhutan is the real gigachad country lmfao
4:20 the "coup" forced the Turks to be expelled. Don't be one sided. It's only fair to say this was a population exchange or that you mention both sides expelled the other.
The Republic of China flag next to the US flag looks awesome. You can tell they’re very similar countries just by the colours of the flags. Natural allies from before WW2.
Bhutan is the purest definition of "Chad"🤝
"13 years ago... in 2008"
That hit hard
These guys should make their videos more evergreen. They're going to start sounding dated. All they had to say was "in 2008". Instead they're dating their videos by saying things like "13 years ago, in 2008."
@Sad guy 😀 this is ok
@Freddie Mercury try and be a leaf’s fan bud… what is it now? 55 fucking years omg
Truuue!!
Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with
Interesting that the IOC recognizes Puerto Rico, and they have their own Olympic Teams, but they are a U.S. Territory.
I think this recognition issue is very relative.
Armenia took me by surprise. They got a beef with another country, which recognizes them despite the beef. But the friends of the other nation don't. Weird.
Bhutan not recognizing their gigantic superpower neighbor is probably the most based thing in this whole video tbh, that takes mad balls lmao. I wonder who they think is the legitimate government though
Reallifelore: shows prc as blue and roc as red
Me: something not right, I can feel it
Now we have more of them: Luhansk and Donetsk People's republics: they recognize each other, and that South Ossetia and Russia recognises them and that's all.
Hey!
Please can you make one on Tibet, its history. Thank you if you do.
Everytime a bunch of countries were listed I thought Yakko was going to start singing about the Nations of the World.
This guy is actually giving us history lessons without being bored😄
@I’m a Catman fr
Your fault if you don't find history interesting. I'd only give you a pass if you are from the US, where they unfortunately give very little amounts of history in the history lessons.
History is interesting
Yeah because you clicked on the video by your own free will. Unlike in school where youre forced to study it
yeah its boring when im forced to learn it than getting myself motivated
That was way more interesting than I thought when I clicked on the video!
The map of morocco is in correct, since it includes western sahara, which is not morocco, it is occupied territory
Thanks for sharing all this information!
No wonder some of these "countries" aren't recognized. A few of them should get recognition, since they're actually running their own show and minding their own business.
Bhutan: we don't recognize china.
UN: why?
Bhutan: china is not visible due to the presence of the Himalayas.
@Warp Drive I got that lol I was just kinda making fun of that line of thought. With that line of thought, I guess their brains don't exist over there since I've never seen them 🤣
@Sandwich Doctor They only recognize those they can see XD
Underrated comment 🤣
Makes sense
🤣🤣🤣
Texas is like
"Feel Good Inc." that is a bunch of Americans (maybe minorities too) doing whatever they want.
I had bad experiences with Taiwanese strippers (or something),
so
I didn't know they were trickle-down-like.
