Lol, bold of you to assume I'd put the Balkans on top! 😅 Only listing countries I've visited: 1. Switzerland 2. Ireland 3. Italy or France. Mainly the Alps

Why didn’t Brits mass-settle in Malaysia and Singapore, like they did in CANZUK, the US and South Africa?

Compared to the populations of Malaysia, India and Indonesia? It doesn't even compare. It was comparatively empty.

I have a question about the Albanian traditional clothes...

Not to mention there was very little incentive to do so otherwise. South Africa, America and Australia all had vast empty land that could be claimed. Malaysia and India had major population centres for centuries before that.

What du you think of Austrians in the comments saying that Austria is Balkan?

Do we count the Austro-hungarian empire or just modern Austria? Because that's the only plausible claim they could make.

What do the rest of the Balkans think of the Bulgarians? They've fought with several neighbors in the past, do you think these hatreds have healed over time?

A Russian drone just hit a residential building in Romania, injuring two. What do you think EU/NATO should do in response?

>yes and the proportionate response now is to close Ukraine's air space and shot down everything that is flying there at least Why the hell would we intervene in another country's sovereign airspace? What the hell would that even achieve? 😂

>yes and a strong power block protects it's borders and territory, to make sure it's people feel safe. As I told you in another post, you need to understand what "protecting borders and territory" really means. Because a full-on armed conflict that you're asking for will not do any of that. >All of you speak with usual western cowardice that everyone has in the west since the end of the great war. Or maybe... just maybe we understand the horrors of real war and do not wish to inflict that shit upon ourselves and our children? It's very easy to beat the drums of war from the comfort of your sofa, bud. You're more than welcome to go fight in Ukraine and get a taste of what war is really like. Or just look up one of the thousands of documentaries that show how it is to be stuck fighting a seemingly endless war for years. Spoiler alert: you wouldn't like it.

It's not about numbers. It's about the intention. Armed conflicts often spill into bordering countries just like you're witnessing there.

I don't disagree with you, but you need to understand the concept of a "proportionate response". Romania getting actively invaded a-la-Ukraine is one thing. Rogue drone going off course and striking a Romanian border town by accident is another.

In honour of history & the fall of the last Roman emperor 573 years ago today: A popular Greek song poetically tells of Constantinople's fall & his mythical return as the 'Marble Emperor'. Is there a similar legendary song telling of a major historical event, myth & folklore from your nation?

Try counting the ingredients individually instead. That is for a more accurate measurement.

I think there's a bit of selection bias here. Lots of girls are absolutely vicious when it comes to flirting and are happy to make... a very bold... first move. Let's put it that way. Those girls are almost always taken. Girls who just sit on their arse and do nothing are more likely to be single and thus moan.

>There's also an army base which must be the easiest posting ever 🤣 Hate to say it, but no it doesn't. Unless you're from Rhodes and can pop there for a bit on your leave. - You're on the border. - Miles away from what would likely be your home. - There is fuck-all on the island you're currently stationed.

Great question! Best case scenario, you'll have a helicopter come pick you up and take you to the mainland (or other nearby island) for treatment. You may also have a token medical facility if the settlement is large enough. It'd basically be like 1 doctor with some basic kit. If it's far enough away, or if they can't get to you in time, you sadly die.

>And I imagine they have better opportunities since it's still a tourist destination. There are many more without that struggling. If we're talking about these Greek islands, then no. Those specific islands I was referring to are not a tourist destination at all. There is literally nothing there for anybody, and that includes tourists. But yeah, I hear similar stories from Scotland. There was a guy down here in the Midlands who I worked with and was only here for the season. He said he comes down every winter for work and then heads back up. Can't quite remember where it was.

I grew up in Greece. Wanna see remote? How you'd like a swim to get to the nearest city? There are literally islands that are just 1 tiny village on a sun-scorched rock, and that's about it.
