Kudos to them for exposing twitter though.
- chrisseaton 9y agoSorry to be a bit pedantic, but ‘nation state’ is not just a technical sounding alternative for ‘major country’. It has a specific definition around national homogeneity, and in most people’s opinions Russia is not a nation-state.
- tryingagainbro 9y agowhatever. Is the GDP of the "Russian Federation" still $1+ Trillion? Do people's opinions on what Russia is, change the fact that they spend billions upon billions to achieve their FP goals? Nope.
- hidenotslide 9y agoThanks, this is a pretty interesting distinction I never realized. Now I want to go find a good modern political science book and learn more.
- chrisseaton 9y agoOther examples of things that aren't nation states (it's a matter of opinion but most agree) include the United Kingdom, and possibly the United States.
