Despite how common the last name Smith is in anglo countries, it is interesting not one of these countries had a head of state with that last name.
Most common last name in the world.

Technically there is Rhodesia with Ian Smith but that was barely anglo and barely a sovereign state.

Me hace gracia que se proyecten en Anakin, cuando en realidad son más cercanos a Syril: - Un tipo común y corriente - Humillado por su madre - Fiel al sistema - Obsesionado con el orden - Busca ser validado por el Imperio - Utilizado por su pareja - Muere como un don nadie

That’s been your fucking problem the whole time? Not enough whining on the Internet?

Absolutely certain that if Luxemburg had fled to the Soviet Union after 1919 that she would have been killed in the Great Purge. There are few things I'm more certain of than this

If you don’t understand why a fragile metal tube slamming into the earth at 700+ mph combined with a massive fuel tank didn’t leave debris… You should be sent back to school.
I don’t get it — I’m genuinely curious to where any of the plane wreckage is. That just looks like a massive empty crater.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A Learjet 60 crashed here on Nov 1, killing all 9 aboard. The FAA says it fell from 35,000 ft in about a minute, and a nose-first impact at that speed shatters a jet into small pieces. Officials say debris was scattered widely, with part of it on a nearby lawn. cbs12.com/news/local/exp… yahoo.com/news/weather-n… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Gree…

Every plane crash conspiracy is just "hmmm where's the plane?" as if it didn't hit the ground at Mach Fuck off and disintegrate They'd watch this and call it fake going "where's the watermelon??"

This comes from KOTOR Korriban sith academy. You get to pit the headmaster and his apprentice because both are planning to backstab each other. They can't think larger then themselves so they eat each other up. Truly something to look up to.

Trump: I could have won the Vietnam War in a week. They kept bombing forests for years instead of going after Ho Chi Minh City.

Ho Chi Minh City was called Saigon during the Vietnam War and was the capital of US-allied South Vietnam; North Vietnam's capital was Hanoi. britannica.com/place/Ho-Chi-M… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_S… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho_Chi_Mi…

If Chiang won it would likely be more or less the same. Except Shanghai or Qingdao would be richer then it is today and Chongqing or Xi'an would be likely be more poor.
If Chiang Kai-Shek had won, today China would be utterly poverty-stricken, have zero nuclear weapons, and would probably be host to a lot of U.S. military bases

Worst case it looks like a slightly better India. And despite its flaws let's not forget current India has many things going for it like heavy industrialization, nuclear power, rising quality of life, regional power projection, etc.
