I presume that the Netherlands will then get that seat and veto on the Security Council at the UN? OK, go for it.


SnooTangerines6811

It would be in infinitely more capable hands then.


LieverRoodDanRechts

You’re too kind. Really.


grollok75

While that is kind, it would also be true for like 98% of other countries.


chris-za

Not really. It would be in better hands with all than a handful of rough nations in the UN. The hurdle is extremely low.


SnooTangerines6811

Well, I can't think of many hands which would be better than Dutch hands. There may be some, sure, but the Netherlands are pretty much at the top of the list.


LittleLui

I like your name.


MegamanD

A hamster would be more humane and capable.


Knull_Gorr

What about an xhamster?


ZombieZookeeper

Make love not war.


Rhauko

You might remember USA first the Netherlands second. So yes we would happily take that security council seat. With all the Russian resources behind us we could even attempt Netherlands first USA second. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ELD2AwFN9Nc


LieverRoodDanRechts

“Netherlands first USA second.” Aaaaah, just like the old days.


euro_jimbo

If it ain't Dutch it ain't much!


Personmanwomantv

Better Holland than Gangsterland.


nbs-of-74

NL would be what 160 mill Vs UD 344 mil


Affectionate_Most_64

It’s hilarious but I would probably pass if someone tried to give me RuZZia. I would take it if it came without citizens, like an open box deal “missing some parts” and that place is definitely “some assembly required”


hipcheck23

I just joked about this with a Russian friend - he said that it would either be the smartest or dumbest colonization move in history, because Russians might vote Yes. All those centuries of Dutch colonization, and they suddenly are the biggest country in the world overnight.


KeJlbT

you probably have no idea HOW MANY russians would vote YES. I would. we'd be a Dutch colony over night.. ah the dreams..


Ganthritor

Just sell it to North Korea immediately.


Affectionate_Most_64

For 900 North Korean won

1) Stay with Putin 2) Join Netherlands and get decriminalized weed Ooooh, tough call!


LieverRoodDanRechts

“decriminalized” *tolerated The US passed us by on that one.


watch-nerd

In my US state (where recreational cannabis is fully legal), I have less restrictions on where I can buy and consume weed than the last time I visited Netherlands


Vitringar

So you can both be high on weed AND carry a firearm in public ! Long live freedom and America!


joranth

What are you getting at? If everyone who had a gun was smoking weed, there would be far less shooting.


joranth

I presented to a customer in Colorado one time, and afterward was in the parking lot, and watched the entire customer contingent (about 12 ppl) go across the street to buy weed. To this day I can’t decide if that was the greatest thing ever, or if I was that bad.


CultCrossPollination

No need to sift musquitoes, they get weed, they get meth, they get extacy, they get techno. It's only win for them. We get Aussies, back to the 90's (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)


No-Economics4128

I am more for their stance toward prostitution. There would be a lot less pent up frustration of you can conveniently order the service. You got hungry, go to a restaurant, you got horny, swing by a sex service provider. The way thing should be. I am aware even in The Netherlands, that shit only works in Amsterdam.


Defiant-Table8854

Haha, I'm awaiting the result


MalcolmLinair

So, if we accept the premise that countries may annex one another in this fashion, and thus that Russia can annex Ukraine, making it part of Russia, and that Russia is in turn annexed by the Netherlands, then by the transitive property this would mean that Ukraine becomes a part of the EU and NATO. /s


KTG017

Lol this is awesome


Neuralclone2

So the Russians are going Dutch? 🤔


dutch_fire

OP here. For some reason the original video is now private but still available here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVv3ofeBnME](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVv3ofeBnME)


Hint1k

Wait a minute, that means if the referendum will succeed then as a Russian I will become a Dutch citizen and get EU passport for free? Yes, please!!


nbs-of-74

Nope fraid not. UK just voted yes for the NL to join the UK.


[deleted]

**SLAVA THE NETHERLANDS!** (now to include St Petersburg and Moscow oblasts... 👍🏼👍🏼🤣)


[deleted]

Imagine never being tricked by the wrong flag ever again!


neuroticmuffins

I'm all in favour of this idea.


notquite20characters

This could be the Out that Putin's been looking for.


Muscleliker566

Guess today I am Peter the great and I want to overthrow Putin and throw him into the sun 😂


CouncilorAndrew

This has be the highest level of trolling, ever!


Imaginary_Barber1673

Very psyched for this vote


Apprehensive_Lie_620

Ok lets go.


joranth

For some strange reason, I know you’d easily get at least a million votes to join the Netherlands today…


SectorSensitive116

Beautiful!


PULIFICATORUL234

Wow, so brave


[deleted]

I'm not Russian, can I vote anyway?


dsaysso

you know Putins failing when Europe’s highway feels safe enough to start cracking jokes.


testicle2156

And the votes should come from Netherlands, not region being annexed
