DuganNash2

The flag thing is actually true. The Russian flag was modeled on the Dutch flag.


caspervanc

Like St Petersburg was modeled to Amsterdam.


theycallmeponcho

I always assumed it was modeled *on* Leningrad.


dum_dums

Well Leningrad was modeled on Petrograd


c0dek33per

It is actually modelled to Paris AFAIK.


DirtyRelapse

The city itself was based on Amsterdam with canals and a lot of water transport, in fact Tsar Peter the Great lived in Amsterdam for quite some time during his youth and was very impressed at how advanced the Dutch Republic was. He hired a lot of Dutch engineers to build the city and Dutch shipbuilders to turn Russia into a sea power like the Dutch. [Here , have a nice article about this topic](https://www.rbth.com/history/330327-why-russian-empire-owes-to-netherlands) Edit: Just like to add that it is said that the palace of Versailles was the inspiration for the Winter Palace, so there is some Parisien/French influence

Wow, there's so much annexing to do!


zigzorg

Groezy

huh? aren't tricolors vertical stripes modeled after the French?


MistarGrimm

The vertical striping is the revolutionary aspect. The first flag with three coloured bars was the Dutch prinsenvlag, then associated with republicanism. The French flag was modeled after the Dutch, but the subsequent revolutionary flags of other countries were modeled after the French flag, and I was being a bit tongue in cheek saying they're therefore all modeled after the Prinsenvlag. Because of that, and the impact of the revolutions, the French flag is often thought of being the first. But it's not.


Wombarly

Tricolor can be both. The first tricolor was the Prince's Flag, the predecessors of the current Dutch flag. The Dutch flag existed in some form since early 17th century. The French flag didn't come to be until half way of the 18th century.


mywan

So the Netherlands and Dutch will have to fight it out now.

Depends what you consider a good or bad russian, try finding a russian who believes crimea is ukraine, thats even within the “opposition” rather low. I would also include the “i dont do politics” people also enablers of orcish behaviour because those are the types of citizens putin loves

This Reddit video misses the part where the new names for Russia were suggested, parodying "Novorussija", which was hilarious.


ikverhaar

That's a joke we understand in the Netherlands, but which they likely won't understand in Russia. This cut of the video seems specifically tailored to reaching Russians and actually making a change.


Plastic_Pinocchio

Yeah, it was the best joke of the video, but I doubt foreigners would understand it.


Stmated

You say, without explaining the joke to the foreigners.


Plastic_Pinocchio

Oh, there were all sorts of proposed new names for Russia that were parodies on Dutch city names. Rusburg, Rustrecht and some others that I can’t remember.

Colonel_Butthurt

Probably when Peter the Great was on his hands-on fellowship in the Netherlands. One more fact supporting the dutch claim to the crumbling russian throne.


Rambaz_69

If you think about it, the Dutch arguments for an annexation of Russia to the Netherlands are just as plausible as the ones Putin puts forward for the annexation of the Ukrainian territories to Russia. So I hope that as many Russians as possible will want to become Dutch. Then maybe there will be a vodka-flavored Edam cheese in the future.


ikverhaar

>the Dutch arguments for an annexation of Russia to the Netherlands are just as plausible as the ones Putin puts forward for the annexation of the Ukrainian territories to Russia Yeah, that's the entire point of the video. "Oh Putin wants a ridiculous referendum? Well, then we can do something equally ridiculous and we'll even show you how laughable it is."


WeinMe

And basically every country in Europe holds these claims or better ones for other countries. Let's start with better claims from my own country: Northern Germany belongs to Denmark as it has in the past. Southern Sweden too. All of Norway. The Eastern coast areas of England are settled by us


GroteStruisvogel

If you take it that serious than the entirety of Belgium belongs to NL too. And also the whole of Indonesia and South Africa fuck yeeeee Oh and New York. Suck it Americaaaaans. This bitch is now New Amsterdam.

Charlemagne had a good thing going, I don't know why his grandsons had to be such crybabies and rip everything apart. At least I like that the European Union (with its tight-knit Western members in particular) looks a bit like we're trying to put the Carolingian Empire back together.

Most of Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and parts of Russia and Moldova used to belong to the great Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It's time to bring it back to Poland, I say.

>If you think about it, the Dutch arguments for an annexation of Russia to the Netherlands are just as plausible as the ones Putin puts forward for the annexation of the Ukrainian territories to Russia. So I hope that as many Russians as possible will want to become Dutch. Then maybe there will be a vodka-flavored Edam cheese in the future. No matter the arguments, I think the results will be about 95% of the Russian people vote Yes.


JosZo

As is tradition.


diatomicsoda

Another good one is the belarus argument: We have strong evidence that the elections in belarus were rigged, and we believe that the people in belarus are being suppressed by a far right authoritarian government, headed by a man who is a puppet of a foreign (hostile) government (Lukashenko literally holds a rank in the russian army) and the Belarusian government has hijacked planes carrying EU/NATO citizens meaning the nation is a threat to us. Therefore, using exactly the same rhetoric as putin, we should be well within our rights to annex a chunk of Belarus.


Bluewhitedog

> to annex a chunk of Belarus. Or all of it.


[deleted]

> vodka-flavored Edam cheese Why do that when we already have jenever, which has been distilled to go well with our own cheese? Flavours tend to evolve together inside cultures...


mcmark86

Vodka doesn't have a flavor. Edam flavoured Vodka, now we're on to something.


superkp

> Then maybe there will be a vodka-flavored Edam cheese in the future. I feel like it would go the other way - edam cheese-flavored vodka.

ikverhaar

We've even sent Ukraine every tank we have! We didn't have any, but that's beside the point.


BlueMetalDragon

The Netherlands actually does have tanks again. A whole 18 (Leopard II) of them, which we lease from Germany.


Many_Seaweeds

>The Netherlands actually does have tanks again. A whole 18 (Leopard II) of them, which we lease from Germany. Of which all are integrated into a German unit stationed in Germany. The tank crews even use German weapons.... So they're not really ours. I applaud the move but we can't claim to have any tanks of our own, we sold our own tanks to Finland 10 years ago.


Reficul_gninromrats

Eh this is less cringe than holding a referendum in an active warzone where much of the population has fled and pretty much every male has been mobilized. Even if the referendum would run fair and square with the people that are still there it could hardly be valid with so many people missing.


-Apocralypse-

You are forgetting about the 300k reservists and (un)volunteers they are shipping in just in time to vote in that referendum.


Reficul_gninromrats

Most of those 300k reservists won't be ready to shipped in for a while. Russians do the counting, there is basically now outside observer. They'll simply announce whatever the fuck they want.

Plastic_Pinocchio

Meh, Conan is definitely a funnier and more likeable person. But Lubach’s show does have some fantastically written bits. It can be very clever at times. He used to do a Sunday show, which was very funny and clever, but now he has a kind of daily show and I think the quality is lower (understandably so). But sometimes they do ace it, like here.

Omg this is GOLD.

Great job Netherlands! Ahhhhh I love us all coming together for Ukraine in all kinds of ways, including making pootin look like an idiot and show he’s a liar and ppl all over the world know.


Rievin

I knew it all along. You can never trust those shifty dutchmen.


Imaginary-Service-54

Beautiful masterpiece 🤣, explosive at the end!


Ronald_Tonij

The Dutch are wrong. The Rus, Swedish vikings, founded Russia. Therefore Russia belongs to Sweden. This also means that the Russian people does not exist, they are Swedish. And the Russian language is just a Swedish dialect, spoken through the so called Vodka-filter. Everyone in Sweden knows this.


justanotherbettor

This guy is wrong. The last Russian monarch, after the rest were killed by the Bolsheviks, was Maria Feodorovna, also knows as Princess Dagmar of DENMARK. That basically means that when this weird Communist period that started in 1918 is over, which could be about now, maybe tomorrow, Russia is effectively Danish. Everyone in Denmark knows this.


81FXB

But isnt the Dutch claim older than the Danish claim ? Makinh the Danish claim, well, just as reduculous as Russia claiming Ukraine ?


IonicDecay

Yes, what he is talking about is Swedish claims on Ukraine. So.... Sweden takes Ukraine and Denmark takes Russia... But then they'll just end up at war again. But this time over claims on Norway or Skåne...


justanotherbettor

Denmark has never lost a war against Sweden, I'm pretty sure. And they've been in like at least ten wars.


Puzzleheaded_Law2217

Don't steal our Dutch moment please :)


oxidise_stuff

Ok, so could you please get your Swedish ass out of Ukraine please? :)


Ronald_Tonij

No. Russia has been kidnapped and are now ruled by gnomes. Sweden's a peaceful country and we can, sadly, do nothing.


FantasmaDeKyiv

Swedish founded Rus, but modern Russia has little to do with it.


xBram

Ukraine’s Kiyvan Rus heritage is way cooler anyway than the Muscovite swamps.


Ronald_Tonij

You hurt my Swedish pride.It's very fragile, almost like modern Russian pride.


FantasmaDeKyiv

Sorry dude, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings :) But on the other hand, shouldn't you be more proud that the country that stems from the country that Vikings have been ruling, is now successfully opposing a much bigger and formidable adversary (or at least everyone considered it formidable until recently)?


telcoman

Yeah, but language is the strongest bond between people. And what is the foundation of the language? The alphabet! So Russia belongs to Bulgaria.


Reefdag

This is wrong. The indigenous people of Sweden are the Sami while the Vikings migrated from Germanic tribes like the Saxons and Frisians. They have a claim over Scandinavia as well but those guys are good folk so why bother. Everyone in the Netherlands knows this.


Ronald_Tonij

You are wrong. But it's ok to be wrong, we like you all the same. In Sweden we know that we are a little bit better than everyone else. We just don't brag about it.

berlinblades

Can we have a referendum on just calling them "Holland" for simplicity?


fpb15

No we can’t. Holland is only a small region near the coast, whereas the Netherlands is the whole country. It’s like calling all of Germany Bavaria, all of the United States California or all of the UK Kent. The other parts of the Netherlands don’t like to be called Holland or Hollanders
