"No nation is older than 250"
(lemm.ee)
Transcript
A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".
Those are not nations in the modern sense. Modern Turkey and Egypt have only been around since after WWI. Byzantium hasn't been a nation since they were conquered by the Ottomans.
The post doesn't say existing nations, it says there has never been one longer than 250 years.
How do you define a nation? Rome, Byzantium, the Ottoman empire, etc., those were all empires. You can debate whether you want to consider them nations.
Same for the US, if you want to debate semantics.
Lol debating semantics is exactly what's happening in this post
The US is an empire unless indigenous peoples don’t count
