Spanish Sahara is no data longer a thing, but the enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the northern shores still exist.

Canada/Denmark is the Arctic island they recently split down the middle.

Basically the scramble for africa era spanish morroco was given back, but the medieval spanish morroco wasn't.

That's going to far in other direction: Mongols shattered the lands of Rus, and when Moscow rose to the top of the remnants they claimed right to rule all of the successors (I think it's reasonable to associate that with Ivan III). That's what the true meaning of "Russia": it's an imperialist land grab (and one very relevant to the day).

lmao, this is what happens when you learn history from reddit

You can drive from Texline in the upper corner of the Texas panhandle to Port Isabel at the mouth of the Rio Grande in 14 hours, and you can do it without bouncing back and forth across your state like a dumbass Yankee ping pong ball.

I genuinely do not understand what this person thought they were achieving with this tweet.

I think they were probably riffing off a similar comment about Texas by making a deliberately absurd and comedic version for a small US state

For anyone else who had never heard of it, I guess it is this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewater_controversy

But it doesn't the pattern of the rest of the things at all. It's not an assassination nor a mass shooting / mass casualty event. It's like... maybe a dubious home loan of relatively small value that went to someone who was friends with the Clintons when he was governor, but doesn't directly involve the Clintons and was a $300k home loan and happened more than 30 years ago.

This sort of person thinks the Clinton Body Count is a thing, and some of that must have been to cover up Whitewater, so...

The Monica Lewinsky scandal only happened because Republicans couldn't find anything in the Whitewater thing to actually pin on Clinton.

Switzerland, one of the low countries.

Too many roads are highlighted to look like a shops-related thing to me.

Maybe Google Street View images updated since 2022 or something? 5G coverage maps? Montenegro is oddly conspicuous.
