    Yep and I have my NATO Peace Keeping medal for Bosnia, wonder how many Dutch take pride in theirs after Srebrenica!

      Back then I doubt there were any peple living there, and the penguins didn't have much of a say.

        The Dutch wouldn't have noticed, they were too busy shipping Africans via Ghana to America.

          Nope, they gave real independence to Indonesia and Suriname, but out of the 6 tiny remaining overseas territories 3 are now their own country namely Aruba, Curacao and Saint Martin and the other 3 have become Dutch town councils

              They had an empire for around 400 years. Decolonisation wasn't always pretty. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...e-1439153.html

                    Vlad bends vote counts and cuts off candidates (parties) from registrations - this is fixable, but UK achieves the same with FPTP two party system and it’s not clear how that can be fixed - voting in any bent system is just giving it legitimacy.
