Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Moldova, the fuck do you care about this

They explicitly indicated that they don't, what are you talking about?

Moldova, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania, and Georgia have actual problems to worry about.

I mean this is just UN navel gazing about the fairness of map projections. Countries that are staring down an increasingly unstable Russia probably aren't too worried about that.

I saw two of the Baltics, and fair point, but now I'm curious about why Latvia didn't go along with them.

Trying to suck up to the US without pissing off the rest of the world too much, presumably. Same for Georgia, Estonia and Ukraine. The one that actually surprised me is Serbia.

What gives, Serbia?
