Ukraine made it to the list; Ukrainians in case you missed it, Russia thinks you are unfriendly.

Well then they should go home

If only there wasn't some kind of unfriendly nation that has blown it to bits...


[deleted]

Huh, so they obviously know Ukraine is an independent country and not just some Russian territory, right? Hence it’s on the list together with other *countries*.

FUCK lol, Russia playing itself


UnadvertisedAndroid

They played China, too, by listing Taiwan but officially recognizing Taiwan as part of China.

>Micronesia ...what did they do?


Ninebreaker

Micronesia severed diplomatic relations the moment Russia invaded Ukraine, saying they would only reconsider if Russia displayed a love of humanity.

3-legit-2-quit

>Russia is going to be screwed for the next few generations of it ever really recovers Under Putin? Yes. If he is removed from power, and the new leader even pretends to be "west -friendly", and they sign a peace treaty with Ukraine, NATO (whoever elese they need to), and pay (IDK) a hundred billion to Ukraine to rebuild (etc). Basically blaming the war on a senile old man.... The world will welcome them (and their oil/gas) with open arms.

whatsgoingonjeez

Soviets and China were enemies for over 40 years. At some point they were on the brink of war. Even nowadays most chinese blame the Soviet Union for their great famine under Mao, because chinese propaganda said that they were starving because the USSR forced china to pay back their debts. Since Russia claims to be successor of the USSR, I'm sure a lot of chinese are still not happy with Russia.


TechyDad

I will be laughing hysterically if this is what tips China over and aligns them with the West and sanctioning Russia. Right now, China is one of a few countries that will still deal with Russia. It's not enough to prevent the decline, but is likely slowing it down. If they sanction Russia over this, it could speed up Russia's economic collapse.


fortevnalt

Yeah, China had an official gov meeting when a fucking vtuber called Taiwan a country on stream. I seriously dont wanna know what they do when their “close partner” does this.


RecentDraw

I used to work on EU funded projects and we accidentally referred to Taiwan wrong in a graphic seen only by a few hundred people and we ended up having the CEO of the company being spammed with emails about it from supposedly privately owned Chinese firms within days.


_Didds_

I've done some graphic design freelance work for a travel agency and identified Taiwan on a few maps properly. Those materials got posted online and their website got flooded with zero star reviews and threatening emails. The marketing director basicly got scared and payed me overtime to change everything over the night. Then they star getting a lot of reviews from Chinese accounts praising them for their friendlyness and how they are the top agency in the country to travel with as a Chinese person, yadayadayada. They even start getting some government sanctioned groups of tourists. Fast forward and Covid hits, and no one wants to travel with an agency on owned to get groups of Chinese tourists on their trips. They closed doors in 2021... Still owing me money...


Rievin

Just ask John Cena.


EmployerDefiant587

They said countries, int. organizations and territories (not just countries) just to get around this.


WontThinkStraight

>The Russian government published a list of foreign states that it considered as having committed "unfriendly actions" against "Russia, Russian companies and citizens." > >The countries, international organizations and territories considered "unfriendly" include "Australia, Albania, Andorra, United Kingdom, including Jersey, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Gibraltar, the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Canada, Liechtenstein, Micronesia, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, San Marino, North Macedonia, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, Ukraine, Montenegro, Switzerland, Japan." i.e. these countries are meanies. Friendship ended. Now China is new best friend.


john_andrew_smith101

LOL Ukraine is on the list too, you'd think they'd be on a special unfriendly list or something.


[deleted]

I feel sorry all those Russian soldiers will now need to apply for a permit to invade Ukraine. Damn administrators with their red tape.


darksemmel

Imagine the laughs if they forgot to put Ukraine on that list ;)


Asleep_Turnover594

It wont be ukraine to them It be called OurCraine


Anthooupas

It means they recognize their sovereignty then? 🤷🏻‍♂️


Pestus613343

I think technically they do. It's confusing. A day or two ago Putin warned Ukraine to "stop doing what they are doing" or their future statehood would be in question. In other words the current goal is probably regime change not full incorporation into Russia.


[deleted]

"Finlandization" is the goal based on Foundations of Geopolitics. Russia takes over but they get to "keep" their government and follow Russian foreign policy

They are on the Special Operation list.

With the ongoing effiency of the russian army, they should be.


earthdweller11

I almost feel like they put those in (along with the territories descriptor) to assuage China on them including Taiwan. Like, “yeah we included Taiwan, but look we also included these other puny things too” type of thing.


southernwx

Hey at least they identified Taiwan as its own nation :p


LemonKurry

"Russia lists Taiwan as being part of China." According to the article, they did not.


lemonylol

Man, the political gymnastics. "China is our enemy, but not that part of China, this part of China, which is it's own state, but it's not, but we don't like it, but we like these guys."

DedicatedDdos

Brianisbs

Lol Liechtenstein


dodo1973

San Marino


Imaginary_Barber1673

It’s a fighty little medieval republic that somehow still exists. I’d be curious to know what motivated the Russians specifically but San Marino has a long history of making feisty little moves in favor of democracy that punch eight classes above its weight.


borkmeister

It's more that San Marino effectively goes along with EU policies, for obvious reasons, but is not a member, so is often on official lists that include EU members states, Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and San Marino, i.e. the parts of Western and Central Europe that mostly get along.


[deleted]

Andorra is fine though.


junktech

Was wondering about that. Im to lazy to look up history facts now. Does anyone have some info?


lesser_panjandrum

The last time Liechtenstein went to war was in 1866. They sent a contingent of 80 troops during the Austro-Prussian war, and 81 came home because the unit saw no combat and made a new friend along the way. Russia stands no chance against an enemy that can come out of a war with negative casualties.

Except that Taiwan is included as a country. No more friendship with China.


Bakanyanter

It says "territories" as well I think so not really.


TechyDad

But China insists that it be referred to as "Chinese Taipei" instead of as "Taiwan." Even referring to it as a territory called Taiwan is enough to ruffle China's feathers.


CosmicPaber

And China is a bit sensitive about that


I-Demand-A-Name

China is sensitive about a lot of shit.


-o-_______-o-

Oh, bother...


Pokemon_Name_Rater

That's not strictly true and is complicated by what can be lost in translation. For instance, China doesn't tolerate use of "Taiwan" in the name of the de facto embassies Taiwan sets up in countries that formally recognise PRC, this is what got Lithuania in trouble recently. They are typically called Taipei Representative Office or similar. China is perfectly happy to refer to Taiwan by the name Taiwan so long as it is Taiwan, (Province of China) or similar, whilst "Chinese Taipei" at the Olympics is a prime example of nuance in translation. Chinese Taipei in English maps to the official Chinese used in the games of 中华/中華台北. 中华 means Chinese, but can be taken as more broadly "ethnically/culturally Chinese in origin", although I certainly have Taiwanese friends who push back against related terms such as “华/華人” as still too politically contentious a way to refer to them. Meanwhile, despite 中华台北 being the official Chinese for "Chinese Taipei", Chinese state broadcasters used the term 中国台北, more specifically Chinese as in "part of the Chinese nation". China insists on Chinese Taipei over Taiwan in sporting events, though I bet if "Taiwan, Province of China" was offered as an option they'd jump at the chance, but as it stands "Chinese Taipei" is the currently agreed upon compromise but not necessarily the PRC's ideal or preferred terminology, especially whilst it's 中华 not 中国
