News & Events Could you place Ukraine on a map?

[Catfish Alley]

To be clear, you mean what the US did in Kiev, right?

Yup. What a few countries did in Kiev.

 

[Copernicus]

The real question is who can find Djibouti on the map?

Piece of piss.

ITT Smiling Buddha treats us as though we all think the US is a wonderful country acting in the interests of everyone.

Why do you want to make the thread about me rather than about the topic?

Is it so hard to focus on the issues at hand?

Forget personalities, they come and go. Focus on the facts.

 

[Vic Vinegar]

Big one in the SE corner.

Now nuke the shit out of those ****ers 'Murica.

 

[chargers 09]

South and west of Russia, north-east of Romania and Moldova, north of the Black Sea, south of Belarus.

Then again I do deal in geography for a living.

Anyone who thinks intervention is an option needs a swift booting.

What's your occupation?

 

[Hap Hapablap]

[The_Reaper]

I knew it

But I have played a lot of this game which really helped me learn this shit.

19706 on first playthrough, all 10 levels.

Got a strike for Bern, Singapore and Adelaide.

Only got Bern on strike when the country borders were shown and anyone should be able to pick Singapore and Adelaide.

 

[Roobs321]

A strong point of mine as well, I was one of those geography/flag crazy kids. I taught myself every country, it's flag and it's capital before I even started primary school, just because it interested me. Adults used to get a laugh out of it as I always knew the answers. I've always been obsessively knowledgeable about my interests though, I must have a slither of asbergers in me somewhere lol.

Kids be crazy when it comes to learning things. I developed the passion through a set of encyclopedias, and within a year or two I owned several atlases and had borrowed practically every country-related book from the local library.

If a democratically-elected government is ousted and replaced with a puppet regime

You do of course realise that the "democratically-elected government" WERE the puppet regime right?

 

[Smiling Buddha]

You do of course realise that the "democratically-elected government" WERE the puppet regime right?

Nonsense.

 

[Monkster]

Nonsense.

Ok mate you keep believing that while the rest of us in the real world realise that the only reason Russia didn't annex Crimea earlier is because they had a puppet government in Ukraine that gave them whatever they wanted.

Do you know what deal was done to extend the lease on the port at Sevastapol?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Kharkiv_Pact

A 30% drop in the price of gas is a pretty big offer to make a 'puppet government'.

Pray tell where you get your information on this issue.

Channel 7? Or are you more of a Channel 9 man? Perhaps Tom Elliott is more your cup of tea...

 

[Saintt]

Knew it but wouldn't if I didn't decide to learn the names of every country in the world a month ago.

Friends and family in Ukraine, where do you get yours?

 

[The_Reaper]

Just got 19804, didn't even get a strike.

Strike on Tel Aviv and Stanley (Falkland Islands)

 

[Smiling Buddha]

Friends and family in Ukraine, where do you get yours?

So no reputable, verifiable sources then?

Okay.

How do your friends and family feel about IMF loans and austerity? Looking forward to it? Are they enjoying having neo-Nazi Oleh Tyahnybok helping run the show in Kiev? Do they appreciate the efforts of Nuland and McCain?

I'd love to know.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Never thought so many people on BigFooty would turn out to be a geographical Rain Man.

Okay.

Sorry where are your reputable sources that the USA was behind the revolution in Ukraine?

How do your friends and family feel about IMF loans and austerity? Looking forward to it? Are they enjoying having neo-Nazi Oleh Tyahnybok helping run the show in Kiev?

A few points:

- Tyahnybok was democratically elected to his position
- Do you believe the only choices are between Soviet puppetry or Neo-Nazi?
- Elections are being held in May so the amount of "running the show" Tyahnybok can do is pretty limited.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Strikes on Venice, New York City & Eindhoven

Horses mouth.

Tyahnybok was democratically elected to his position

So was Yanukovych.

Do you believe the only choices are between Soviet puppetry or Neo-Nazi?

No; I don't think Ukraine actually has a choice anymore actually. They did, they chose a government which acted in the national interest and sided with Russia, then the West did what they often do and staged a coup. No more democracy for Ukraine.

Elections are being held in May so the amount of "running the show" Tyahnybok can do is pretty limited.

Except for sign IMF loans which will necessitate austerity measures and push the country back into the third world.
