The people you encountered didn't have the United States arming them to the teeth though lol Also is someone forgetting that there was also a Russian Empire and it lasted longer than the Dutch one?

 @rahjah6958 "on various continents" isn't really a mark of achievement. The Dutch just happened to be next to the ocean.

@quintvanblitterswijk6162 France still has "overseas territories" as do the Netherlands and the UK. Try again

 @robertscott961 That doesn't even make any sense. You just lashed out out of spite lol

@ArizonaAstraLLC The simple answer is, they are combatants by that same logic, but the truth is that Western countries only understand the language of force. The US feels comfortable employing NATO countries because it feels assured that Russia won't attack them. If Russia were much stronger then I think both those governments would resist US military involvement, for the simple reason that they, not the US, would suffer consequences. Simple reality of force projection. All laws besides plausible deniability and precedent fly out the window.

@quintvanblitterswijk6162 Care to explain then why every colonial empire had some ocean access? And none of the inland powers did? I can't believe you're trying to make the "excuses!" excuse, when some countries literally can't place their ships in the ocean. There is a limited amount of open coastline in the world and a finite number of countries have access to it. Are all Dutch this slow in the head?

@quintvanblitterswijk6162 You also didn't answer my question. How can "anyone who knows how to navigate" when not everyone has that opportunity? Not every country can navigate. How do you expect Uruguay or Azerbaijan to access the Atlantic?? My original comment explaining that "multiple continents" isn't an achievement, the Dutch didn't earn their place next to the North Sea. Germanic tribes just got lucky to settle there not knowing what it would mean for them later on.

@quintvanblitterswijk6162 So do you admit that you just lied to me when trying to call Russia the last empire of Europe? You lied, right?
1
@quintvanblitterswijk6162 You just affirmed their existence. So Russia isn't Europe's last empire then. Why did you think you could brazenly lie? And why don't we ask the Chagos Islands or New Caledonia how they feel about being "better off"?

@quintvanblitterswijk6162 You're avoiding my question :))) Is Russia this only one doing this? "No. Curacao is no way Europe. Arubans are closer to Cubans than Dutch. I know I colonizer when I see one!"

 @andrewbrock4636 I mean... the Ukrainians are known for using propaganda. I'm not saying it's fake this time, but are you really going to take them at their word?
