How many, if any of these largely unrecognised states do you view as legitimate? - eviltoast

Removed Israel and ROC because that’s obvious. Also can anyone enlighten me on why Pakistan doesn’t recognise Armenia?

      Osetia was attacked by Georgia in 2008 with some episodes like bombing the civilian housing with artillery, but the war was pretty brief because Russia intervened and Georgian army ran on first sign of spetsnaz. The moment Russia would stop watching though, both Osetia and Abkhazia will be invaded by Georgia again.

      Transnistria is poorest country in Europe (second poorest now because Ukraine) because it’s very small to the point of not being sustainable and is being choked by the imperialist neighbors, currently it’s even worse because it’s ally of Russia and Ukraine is trying some shit there like terrorism to force Russia to send troops to protect them.

        Sucks what Georgia did to Ossetia, just read on ProleWiki and apparently Georgia bombed them among other things.

        In August 2008, Georgia bombed South Ossetia. They fired missiles at civilian areas but were quickly driven out by Russian forces.

        South Ossetia declared independence from Georgia in 1990. Georgia responded by removing its autonomous status and imposing Georgian as the official language, causing Ossetians to rebel. 1,000 South Ossetians were killed by the Georgian military. In 1992, Russian troops entered South Ossetia to protect against another Georgian attack.

          Yeah, yet another region where USSR meant peace, coexistence and modernisation and which went to hell immediately after USSR was destroyed.
