JBrereton when Theresa May did her naughtiest act and ran into the field of wheat did she immediately make a show of being about to cut off her own head until she let her underlings talk her out of it at which point she symbolically decapitated herself by cutting off her hair? Asking for a friend who is Wei interested in the answer.

Theresa May isn't Cao Cao. If anything she's Liu Shan.

UrbicaMortis posted:Does the uk still count as an imperial power? I'm pretty sure half of right wing politics in this country is caused by people being insecure we don't have an empire anymore. Well I mean, the British Empire doesn't exist anymore, but they're involved in US/western imperialism, probably the most of any other country.

jBrereton posted:Lenin had already attacked all of Eastern Europe by 1919 trying to "fix" Brest-Litovsk, because Poland didn't give a single gently caress about any of these countries self-determination and literally took Lithuania's capital as a consolation prize after getting a bloody nose and claiming victory. Poland also propped a deeply, widely hated government in Ukraine that ultimately got taken down by a mass anarchist uprising, mostly because said nationalist government was willing to recognize their claims on parts of Galicia that were strongly majority ukrainian. Like it's really hard to see people look at Poland's interwar record and still buy the line that they cared about self-determination of anyone else when they spent most of that time trying to snatch border territories that were only minority polish at best.

Has there been an actual vote for it though or is it just based on "oh we will eventually have a deal with the dup even if there is no actual one right now" like it seems to be?
