CGPGrey did a video on that recently.

For the first time in a long time, I got sucked in by Wikipedia today, on the topic of unrecognized states and microstates. There's a lot of weird experiments in political science that have gone on in the world that aren't often talked about.

I wrote an assignment on unrecognized states two year ago. I can see how you got sucked in.

Hooray for Nagorno-Karabakh. Death to the Azeris.

"Attention ground units. Anticitizen reported in this community. Code: lock, cauterize, stabilize."

"Attention please. Unidentified person of interest, confirm your civil status with local protection team immediately."

I'm getting massive Combine vibes here.

Not to mention their attack helicopters are US Apaches.

You can quote HL2 like that. I like you.

I have seen those before. Ballistic masks are being considered by some police forces and armies, the problem is they reduce visibility but they just look so cool.

Are you sure that photo wasn't taken in Latveria?

If by "look cool" you mean "look like a faceless mook you can murder without empathy in a video game" then sure.

These guys wear balaclavas underneath the masks anyway, so the Stormtrooper Factor is already in place anyway.

Yes, but unlike a video game, and unlike Star wars, these people have body armor, no sense of mook chivalry, aim, and training. And guns. Guns that seriously injure a rampaging vigilante. Assault rifles at that.


A better way of viewing them are as a bunch of armored mobile marksdwarves with tactical knowledge, communication, and the sense to not to bumrush a enemy and beat them with their guns/crossbows.d

So, completely unlike marksdwarves.
