Agoraphotaku3D polandball is prime uncanny valley material.
Yeah, I dunno how I feel about that lol
Fisting for FreedomIt’s a travesty and should be completely wiped out of existence with the most extreme of prejudice.
whileloopWe need a Polandball community here on Lemmy.
i’d its the hands and mouth that make it cursed rather than being 3d
Brock Sampson is the embodiment of the US military industrial complex.
Tbh, the US wouldn’t have to do shit. Based on the people I’ve met and heard about, I’m at least 80% sure that Alaskans jerk themselves to sleep just wishing a bitch would.
mercIn a different world, it would be interesting if Russia still controlled Alaska.
Canada and the US would have an immense land border with Russia. For centuries the US and Canada have basically only had friendly neighbours, how would it change if there were a land border with a hostile power?
For Russia, what would supply and communications lines be like? As it is, Russia’s far east is just barely connected to the main parts of Russia which are all right near Europe. Alaska would extend that across an ocean. OTOH, with the oil in Alaska, maybe it would be relatively heavily populated and relatively rich. Maybe Russia would be a weird country with two big rich provinces, one right next to Europe, one 12 time zones away right next to North America.
The US and Canada haven’t only had borders with friendly countries for centuries. Even as recently as the 19th century, the US was frequently at war either with Canada and the UK, Mexico, or the native Americans in the modern-day Midwest and western US.
The last conflict between Canada and a neighbour (not a rebellion or a conflict vs. natives) was the 1812 war which ended in 1815, more than 2 centuries ago.
The last conflict between the US and a northern neighbour was that 1812 war. In the south it was the Mexican-American war which ended in 1848, 175 years ago.
Internal rebellions, civil wars, and guerilla conflicts don’t count as conflicts with neighbours.
vaultdweller013I feel like a Russian Alaska would break away sometime during the Russian civil war. Perhaps it would become a Taiwan of sorts or maybe it becomes an autocratic totalitarian shithole like North Korea.
The perfect use of a classic Brock Sampson line.
Bruh. I know the U.S. probably wouldn’t need it, but if that happened, I’m absolutely certain Canada would be right there alongside the Americans to protect that border.
