So, punish one country in the world by evicting it from a geographical land-mass, just by mentally ignoring its very real presence.

So you liisted all the legitimate reasons to kick the USA out of North America, too? What about China's atrocities, and the atrocities during the partition of India. And don't forget ISIS. Not much left of Asia, now that Russia, China, the Middle East and India are gone. Just Myanmar and the Khmer Republic and North Korea and the Dutch-exploited Indies still hanging in there.

The world existed before we were all born, and will be here after we're dead, and is not going to be rearranged to suit our infinitesimally short lifespans of convoluted and unintelligible tabloid-fueled we/they political correctness.

You can't compare the World from before WWII with the World after WWII.

No because the USA is the centre of North America.

China should get punished too, give Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong full independence.

ISIS is not a country.

When did i say i want to get rid of entire countries

Khmer Republic doesn't exist anymore since 40 years ago.

You just made this up yourself. During the years when you posted the map, Ukrainian, Russian, and Belorusian were the same language.

That's right. Those Russian untermensch don't deserve the land they live on!

So let me get this straight, you are revising a whole people's history just based on their current actions and your personal like/dislike of a whole ethnic group? Ok got it.

Is this the same Hong Kong that was China for 5,000 years, until the British stole it with gunboats? Oh, wait, that was before WWII, so that doesn't count.


When you said Russia is the only country in the world that is "a different thing" and not geographically regarded as a part of any continental land-mass. Please defend that with something more substantial than the emoticon..

How is the USA the "centre" of North America, but Russia is not the centre of Asia? Why do we not get any explanation or justification of any assertions, just new ones that are just as laughable as the old.

Russia has always been part of Europe, and majority of the Russians are European descent.

I agree that the US is the center of North America, but Russia is certainly not the center of Asia, not geographically, let alone demographically or economically. Russia to Asia is like Canada to North America.

Back to the main point, it will probably never be known, because the most Asian city might be in France, the only country in which they really meant it when they said egalite, they take the word seriously, and it is not permitted to enumerate people on the basis of ethnicity or culture.

Umm, Canada is a part of North America, right, and not "a different thing", like Russia?

You insinuated that i wanted to get rid of Russia, China, the Middle East and India. I just responded with a confusing emoticon, what else do you expect? Next time when replying to you i will just say "you make me confused" instead if that makes you happy?


Because there is no land North of it.

Davy-040 you can think what ever you want but the majority of the world including the past and the present would disagree with you here's a link to continent boundaries, just go to Europe and Asia and it will show a diagram of the disputed boundaries between the two until we landed on the modern and accepted one. In any case, a rather large portion of Russia was considered to be part of Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boun...een_continents .on a cultural/political basis I might agree with you that it's part of its own thing/ Eurasian world https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Economic_Union but we are talking about geography.

Last time i checked there were no countries located North of Russia.

You can't be the centre of a continent if there is only land South and West from you.

Canada is part of North America but its not the centre of the continent.
