Point still stands its a wild comment to make. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brotundspiele@feddit.org 0 points 1 year ago* (1 child) You're right, that's a wild comment trying to exclude Scandinavia from Europe. Why wouldn't I want to include Scandinavia. It's part of mainland Europe, reachable by train from Portugal without ever crossing an EU external border. As opposed to Alaska which is not part of the mainland US. I didn't include Alaska for the same reason I didn't include Hawaii, Greenland or the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Btw. Stockholm alone has more inhabitants than all of Alaska. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wisas62@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Your statement is incorrect. The Danish straits are considered international waterways and the gulf of Finland has a central strip of international waters (even though the Helsinki–Tallinn Tunnel never got started). So if you are trying to get technical, you should know your shit first. You cannot get to any of Scandinavia without crossing international space via train. This whole mess can just be over if you just agree that the statement is wild. You're pulling at straws to defend an argument that doesn't make any sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brotundspiele@feddit.org 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) You really don't know what international waterways are, do you. The Danube river is an international waterway, but that doesn't mean that there is any border going through Vienna. It just means that the state the waterway belongs to has to allow free passage through their territory. Also, you never enter the international waterway, because there is a bridge over the waterway and guess what: The waterway is in the water. So much for knowing your shit. I really don't care if you find any of my statements wild. I don't care about you at all. As far as I'm concerned you can keep your delusions about how great the USA are and how tiny the rest of the world is. Just stop bothering me with that BS. Farewell, have a great life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wisas62@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/high-seas-governance.html permalink fedilink source parent
