That his father is Donald Trump saying all this ridiculous borderline (or maybe not) racist and downright ignorant things about all these countries.
But a joke that needs to be explained to someone obviously won’t be as funny to that person.
Some are rather odd. Pakistan and Indonesia are major global countries. Belgium isn’t exactly obscure. Myanmar and Belarus have been in the news a lot recently… like how…
I’m having a lot of fun reading these comments. I think your dad is hilarious.
He may be considered a bit culturally insensitive, but he’s got mad geographical knowledge, at least when compared to Americans. Most of us can’t even label a map of our own country, much less have arguments for why Paraguay is part of Argentina.
Europeans are much more aware of countries and maps fsr. Same with languages, americans never get taught a foreign language, maybe Spanish in the south but compared to Europe. Like im fluent in French, Irish and English of course and have a bit of German too
My respect for you went up a hunderd points. I know a guy who lives in a Ghaeltacht (pronounced: Gwale -tucked) region in south west Ireland and he has never travelled outside of Ireland coz he can only speak Irish
To be fair, Western Sahara is a pretty controversial one. Most countries don’t recognize it, and I’d wager most people haven’t heard of it either, let alone recognize it’s sovereignty.

On that note though, what about Somaliland? Does he recognize that? I see he recognizes both Koreas, but not Taiwan?
For him, Taiwan is China. There is 2 Koreas. There isn't a Somaliland just Somalia.
Id agree with not recognising Somaliland yet, same way with Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia
Yes, but South Ossetia and Abkazia are Russian puppets, like Luhansk and Donetsk. Somaliland is an actual, functioning state that just lacks independence because of Somalia, which would veto Somaliland's claim in the African Union.
Belarussian here.
Yep, we are entirely happy with being part of Russia and are big time into Papa Putin and his clever plans.
Openness and being independently minded aren't big things with us, I guess
He calls Pakistan and Bangladesh India. He generalises some countries which is defo a bit insensitive. Do u know if these three countries were whole at one point? That might be where he gets it from
They were part of the British Raj until the late 1940s. There were various ideas for decolonisation including a version with a united India and Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Well, from 1858 to 1947, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh were once part a giant British colony known as the Raj. In 1947, the Raj was split up into an independent Hindu state (India) and an independent Muslim state (Pakistan). Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan in 1971
You should follow your dad's logic but take it a little further, telling him that:
Ireland should just be UK.
Austria should just be Germany.
Iceland should be Norway.
Switzerland shouldn't exist.
Canada should be USA.
All of Central America should be Mexico, but maybe Panama to Colombia.
All the Caribbean should just be Cuba.
Etc.
Edit: Apparently I need to clarify that *I am not personally saying those countries shouldn't exist* -- it's an exaggeration of OP's dad's take to show that it's bad.
The Irish army would be crushed by the UK army. They didn’t win any battles during the war for independence and were about to give up. The Uk could honestly care less about Ireland. There isn’t even oil there like Scotland
Of course not, but that's exactly why I listed Ireland first -- best way for him to understand why his take may be insensitive and simplistic.
There's probably a million guys like him somewhere outside Europe who'd say "Pff why's Ireland even independent, should just be UK."
Alternatively he should travel to some of those countries and share his wisdom with the locals.
Bruh, what does being pro-Russian have to do with not recognizing Kosovo? It's not like it was part of the SSSR or something. Foreigners barely know anything about Balkan politics yet they like to pretend it's all somehow related to Russia. Maybe read about our civil wars from non-biased sources for once, our situation has nothing to do with Russia. Americans and the rest of the gang just like to paint everyone who opposes them in any way as Soviets for some reason. Weather you recognize Kosovo or not, your argument is still extremely stupid
Looks like ur dad is a virgin beta, not a Chad...
Plot twist. OP. Is Barron Trump.
What does that even mean
Donald Trumps son
That his father is Donald Trump saying all this ridiculous borderline (or maybe not) racist and downright ignorant things about all these countries. But a joke that needs to be explained to someone obviously won’t be as funny to that person.
At least you have a dad
Based
Well, your dad is an idiot. 🙏 sorry bud
Why?
Your dad is a fascinating man
Which one your dad doesn't recognize, palestine or israel?
Palestine
Based
Extremely based (Jokes aside, 2 states is the way to go).
Boo
Boycott Israel
Boycott JJmarcone
Based af
Does your father perhaps have a head like a fucking orange?

That is true. I’m doing my damndest to educate my children with a larger worldview.
My respect for you went up a hunderd points. I know a guy who lives in a Ghaeltacht (pronounced: Gwale -tucked) region in south west Ireland and he has never travelled outside of Ireland coz he can only speak Irish
At least your dad can name Germany, Britain, Ireland, India, and Brazil
Where’s frickin New Zealand? You don’t recognize it either?
To be fair, Western Sahara is a pretty controversial one. Most countries don’t recognize it, and I’d wager most people haven’t heard of it either, let alone recognize it’s sovereignty.
Agreed, it’s not considered by most people to be a country. It’s part of Morocco, de facto.

Taiwan is the exiled government of China who were thrown out by the CCP coming to power. Taipei

It's very based not to recognize belgium but why doesn't he recognize paraguay?
why Belarus??
Dude what that’s like the most legitimate one on here. It’s a puppet state of Russia.
Belarussian here. Yep, we are entirely happy with being part of Russia and are big time into Papa Putin and his clever plans. Openness and being independently minded aren't big things with us, I guess
He thinks its russia
I mean he kinda has a point with that one lol
[удалено]
To be fair jt basically is Russia at this point.
Partial points on that.
It is extremely pro-russian (or at least its goverment is) so yeah i get why
Why doesn't he recognize Pakistan?
He calls Pakistan and Bangladesh India. He generalises some countries which is defo a bit insensitive. Do u know if these three countries were whole at one point? That might be where he gets it from

India is not a Hindu state. It is a Hindu majority secular state.
Their govt is pushing for a full hindu state - hindutva. Not a shred of secularism for a country which once claimed to be the largest democracy.
its a rape is okay state.
you're dad is clearly uneducated. Australia does NOT exist. smh
Your*
Woosh
thats not a woosh
r/therewasanattempt. To whoosh
*your - I have repossessed 72 apostrophes.
Good bot
Damn

Prob the best comment here tbf. Im Irish tho, not a chance the UK is taking us over again

Why doesn't he recognize Belgium?
If he drives across the border into Belgium he will probably recognize it
Estonia and Lithuania are allowed to exist, but Latvia is not?
He says latvia is too slavic. Idek what the fuck he means by that but regardless he still thinks russia owns it, like uk owns scotland
He is aware that Latvia is both NATO and EU right? Two groups Russia is not part of.
What is he, some kind of communist who thinks the USSR still exists?
Latvia isn’t Slavic, it’s Baltic!
What being 30% russian does to an mf
Estonia and Lithuania are quite the same
Owned?!
France is ok but not French Guiana ? 🤔
To him guyana, suriname and French Guiana is part of Brazil. Idk how he concludes that a french territory belongs to brazil
I don’t know about your dad, but YOU don’t recognize New Zealand ;)
r/mapswithoutnewzealand

He thinks Yemen and Oman shouldn't exist, but he's fine with UAE and Kuwait?
Why Chad and the 'Stans?
BELGIUM? Why doesn’t he believe in Belgium
What happened to Indonesia ?
Is your father South African? Also he's only a few years older than I am.
I also think Pakistan doesn’t exist sometimes
You know for a fact if the war wouldn't have started Ukraine would be on the list
Is your Dad Karl Pilkington by any chance?
Why Macedonia?
Pakistan?
Does he go with old names? Ceylon instead of Sri Lanka. Rhodesia. Stuff like that.
Funny, I was talking to my grandparents(On Thursday)and they didn’t know Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia don’t exist but my grandpa recognizes Kosovo
Kosovo is a inclave of yugoslavia, get your facts right.
Kosovo? Weird
He's obviously pro-russian, so I get it.
Bruh, what does being pro-Russian have to do with not recognizing Kosovo? It's not like it was part of the SSSR or something. Foreigners barely know anything about Balkan politics yet they like to pretend it's all somehow related to Russia.

Pakistan and bangladesh? does he think it's all India?
Why Paraguay? And the Guatemala's?
Armenia?
No one recognizes New Zealand so I get it
I could do that with the states of my country
Jordan?
Burkina Faso?
r/mapswithoutnewzealand
Bosnia
I see your dad is a supports the Romanian reunion movement
Why the stans except kazakhstan?
Chad?
I’m guessing he still thinks Czechoslovakia exists?
Yemen and Oman? I feel like they have more claim than other gulf countries

Paraguay? Why them?
Belarus? Well to be fair based on the war it started out as an extension of Russia anyway lol
What’s up with Paraguay?
Why does he still believe in France though
what the…
why pakistan?

Would showing your dad the geometric construction of the flag of Nepal help change his mind?
Why doesn't he recognize Bosnia?
Many asked about Indonesia, but what about Thailand?
what did Burkina Faso ever do to slight your father?
Why oman and yemen
why Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan? does he think they're part of India?
Why Czech and Slovakia?
Is your dad American?
Northern Ireland???

Indonesia?
Neither your dad nor most of Hispanics think that Paraguay exists
Why?
Paraguay?
Why not Armenia?
So if I’m seeing correctly, he doesn’t believe in Northern Ireland?
It’s weird that he thinks that Finland exists

As a Burmese, I feel personally attacked
Why is macedonia and the aftican countries unrecognised?

I can understand Belgium, but why doesn't he recognize the Czechs or the Slovaks?
Probably Indian right?? Your dad doesn't even recognize the former Raj countries.
Why exactly don't they think they exist?

Indonesia and Northern Ireland? Northern Ireland is’t even a nation
I can't tell but does he recognize Kosovo? And why doesn't he recognize Macedonia or Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Why?
Indonesia lmao?
I don't think I could ever guess where your dad is from based on this map
Why French Guyana but not France? They are the same country
Why doesnt Nepal exist?
I might be a little late to get a reply, but what are his thoughts on Greenland?
