Eh, close enough.
I was gonna say.
Want to see the map of Asia that most US-Americans could draw.
Nobody’s asking anyone to draw a map from memory. They’re asking a news channel to put in the 5 seconds of googling it takes to procure an accurate map.
I'd add in Mongolia and call Myanmar Burma at first but otherwise, yeah.
Basically China, India and Japan with a Vietnam somewhere but they don’t want to talk about it.
Hey now, North Korea is in there somewhere by Vietnam, too.
That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.
China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.
India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.
Read a book.
I would hope you'd find Russia on a map too
You mean eastern Ukraine?
Hmmm, never heard of it

Tibet should be independent after Republic of China liberates the mainland of terrorists
The Republic of China also claims Tibet.
That’s irrelevant to “Tibet should be independent”
I do want to hear the difference between #FreeTibet and #FreeCaledonia and all other separatist movements. Hell even, #FreetheAmericaFromTheEuropeans
If you think I’m going to take Israel’s side just to give a contradiction you’re wrong
I support Scotland but I realize the biggest push in the movement is Russia trying to fracture their enemies (same with anti-EU sentiment that Scotland is not part of)
Tibet doesn’t give China that support. Of note as well is the prevalence of Scottish flags to Tibet flags. A unicode example 🏴vs no result. A stock photo in front of parliament and you show me a Tibetan flag at The Great Hall
I think Catalonia has a right to independence but like Scotland to England. An independent Catalonia should ally with Spain
You can’t make the argument that China needs Tibet to stand up to America or India. You could make the argument that China needs an independent/neutral Tibet to act as a buffer to India. Much like they need DPRK to act as a buffer between ROK
Most of the Americas are independent from Europe so I am not sure on your argument there but native nations should be elevated from their current status
If breaking up Myanmar stops the junta’s genocide then it should happen
Quebec’s separatist movement doesn’t have the backing of the people (their votes keep failing) but if we assume they are fixed then yeah Quebec should be independent however even that movement still wants to keep it’s current ties to Canada
All those Russian provinces that voted for independence should be allowed to leave
There are way too many independence movements to list them all but if you have any more you want specifics on feel free to ask
You actually have went beyond what I was asking. My will on FreeTibet is that it just a illusion, something that can not be. China is never going to release Tibet, Spain is not going to release Caledonia, and the Americas are not going to give the lands back to the natives.
Many people I talked to with "Free Tibet" only talks about how China is illegally imposing themselves on the will of the Tibetan people. Yet, they completely ignore or simply dismissing the many other separatist movements. They only talk about Tibet is to harm China (man, I sound like a China fan boy here, which I am not).
You, my friend, are true and pure.
i wanna see the map of the USA that most USAians can draw
China and India are about right, Japan's south of Taiwan, Vietnam is labeled South Korea, all the other islands are "you get the idea" squiggles. The rest is a wash. Anyone who remembers the Philippines is in the Armed Forces. Anyone who can place Thailand encrypts their hard drive.
All of central Asia is "Afghanistan?".
I was going to be all proud and then I realized you said "most"...
Oof.
