Yeah but considering they are the only north and east EU countries that are it not a utterly ridiculous question.

Seriously, Immanuel Kant is more famous than Stalin or Peter The Great or Catherine?

OddObserver posted:

Immanuel Kant for Russia is pretty good, too. Pretty sure that's because of Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg

Oh wait, Stalin would be in Georgia, wouldn't he.

Philipp Lenard was born in Pressburg (today's Bratislava), on 7 June 1862. The Lenard family had originally come from Tyrol in the 17th century, and Lenard's parents were German-speakers. His father, Philipp von Lenardis (1812–1896), was a wine-merchant in Pressburg. His mother was Antonie Baumann (1831–1865) The young Lenard studied at the Pozsonyi Királyi Katolikus Főgymnasium (today Gamča) and as he writes it in his autobiography, this made a big impression on him (especially the personality of his teacher, Virgil Klatt)
[...]
Lenard is remembered today as a strong German nationalist who despised "English physics", which he considered to have stolen its ideas from Germany. He joined the National Socialist Party before it became politically necessary or popular to do so. During the Nazi regime, he was the outspoken proponent of the idea that Germany should rely on "Deutsche Physik" and ignore what he considered the fallacious and deliberately misleading ideas of "Jewish physics", by which he meant chiefly the theories of Albert Einstein, including "the Jewish fraud" of relativity. An advisor to Adolf Hitler, Lenard became Chief of Aryan physics under the Nazis.

Netflix's "Siege of Jadotville" opens with a map portraying the Cold War. USA and western Europe are blue, the USSR and only the USSR is red, leaving eastern Europe conspicuously neutral. Can't find a screenshot but pretty politically-loaded. Maybe Netflix will go free to combat the reactionary sentiments displayed by Hulu?

Here it is.

It's a globe that spins around in the intro sequence rather than a flat map so it's not a good shot but you can get the gist of it.

Looks like someone forgot Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia, and Armenia were part of the USSR.

I think the easiest explanation is the movie takes place in an alternate reality where the Soviet offensives in the Caucasus fail after they take Baku in 1920 and the Soviet Union doesn't push westward in 1939. Due to this Ireland, Finland, Austria and even Switzerland join NATO at some point after the war.

Netflix is just trying to compete with Man in the High Castle...that or the map maker was too lazy to even open up wikipedia for 5 minutes.

Huh, I watched the movie a day earlier and didn't notice the ridiculous map, somehow.

It's a pretty fun movie otherwise though.
