Who is the strongest 'stan'? Who is the dominant military power, and the best economically?
I'm refering to: >Kazakhstan >Turkmenistan >Tajikstan >Uzbekistan >Kyrgyzstan >Afghanistan >Pakistan
Just by looking at the map I would think Kazakhstan is the most powerful (excluding Pakistan due to nukes and shit). Is this assumption correct?
Samuel Bennett
afganistan isn't a country. pakistan isnt a country just an acronym. rest of those counties are Turkic, inshallah they can unite with turkey. inshallah the arab countries unite as well, inshallah we can have a turkic/arab alliance. allahu akbar
Jeremiah Campbell
amen
John Evans
By far Pakistan is the strongest. It is not even a competition.
Alexander Rodriguez
Finally I get it. All these Islamic phrases, they don't mean a thing! They're just PUNCTUATION.
Noah Taylor
Pakistan has nukes, the others don't.
Brody Barnes
the kazakhs have stronger memes
Carter Clark
Pakistan probably. They actually have something resembling an economy and by far the best and most experienced military.
Jaxon Lee
Kazakhstan has best potassium, unlike assholes Uzbekistan.
Bentley Ward
>9 replies >nobody has pointed out yet that Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are mislabeled >Sup Forums education
Aiden Stewart
Pakistan has nukes and one of the better intelligence agencies, not only out of middle east/asia but the world. So yeah, Pakistan is my choice
Dominic Barnes
1.Paki 2.Kazakhstan The others dont even register.
Camden Scott
bongiston has best curr
so does kazakhsan
Ethan Adams
What even goes on in these countries?
Besides Japan I can't imagine what life is like in a non-white country.
I just imagine some poor 5'2" shitskin sewing his finger into one of my shirts or hats.
Juan Taylor
Tadjikistan and Afghanistan are persian countries you ignorant goat fucker
Bentley Watson
Kazakhstan doesn't have nukes.
Landon Foster
u forgot kazakhsan
Jaxson White
Pakistan has a military larger than all the "Stans" combined.
Daniel Gomez
Central Asia is literally the most uninteresting place on this entire planet. When was the last time you heard of shit happening in Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.
Adrian Powell
Every couple of years, a USA (ROME) official throws a dart at the Stan board... wherever it lands is the dominant Stan until they either piss us off or we get bored.
Jason Thomas
id also liek to hear more about these countries. are they all pretty much borat looking gypsies?
Zachary Richardson
>american >being this ignorant Shocking
Julian Hughes
If they're going to form a Stanistan they should exclude Pakistan. Fuck Pakistan, they're not central Asians and they're a terrorist client state.
Capital should be Samarkand.
And whoever made that map mixed up Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Charles Gutierrez
Posting for glorious united Stanistan
Jordan Lewis
sounds about right
Hunter Sanders
Go some time, it's not as bad as you think. I've been to Pakistan and it's pretty good, places like Lahore and Islamabad are full of foreigners, mostly white.
Aaron Gomez
Shut up Germanistan
Brody Gray
This will be the true world war 3 right here folks. Russia is a fake enemy set up by the media
Ayden Morgan
Doesn't Stan just mean "land of", like Pakistan is the land of the Pakis.
Joshua Jenkins
t. race traitor weeaboo
Aiden Murphy
Germany would be my guess.
Ayden Collins
bongistan's military is superior to all the "Stans" combined.
Henry Watson
but honestly in those places, literally nothing interesting these days. Unless you're interested in other cultures, history, etc etc.
Carter Fisher
correct kek land of kazakhs etc but pakis is the funniest
Aaron Baker
Where is Swedistan?
Andrew Bailey
...
Zachary Reed
Used to be the center of civilization and mankind's progress until the Mongols happened.
Carson Evans
The suffix -stan means "place of"
What kind of lame and redundant name is that?
Tyler Nelson
exclude afghan and pakis, wasn't they all apart of the USSR and soviet satellites?
Aiden Butler
Whats the refugee situation up in Finland? Are you guys getting a lot of them?
Lincoln Ross
Lechistan
Hudson Sullivan
They were
William Ward
You mean south-west Asia?
Also "muh mongol invasion" there were resurgences after the mongol invasion. Your ability to recover is a sign of civilized life.
Dylan Nelson
technically it shares them with russia
k'stan was the place for ussr nuks
k'stan can into space
even russia/usa cant into space
Landon Rogers
>Not including India... Idiot ignoring that India is actually Hindustan, "country of the Hindu". For fuck sake, it was your former colony, you should know that. Are you stupid, illiterate, underaged, two of the three are all of them?
Xavier Hernandez
Fun fact: The 'Paki' part of 'Pakistan' doesn't actually refer to any one people, it's an acronym.
>It was coined in 1933 as Pakstan by Choudhry Rahmat Ali, a Pakistan Movement activist, who published it in his pamphlet Now or Never,[37] using it as an acronym ("thirty million Muslim brethren who live in PAKSTAN") referring to the names of the five northern regions of the British Raj: Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan.[38][39][40] The letter i was incorporated to ease pronunciation and form the linguistically correct and meaningful name.[41]
Tyler Clark
Well all OUR launching bases are there since Soviet times and maintained by us... So I wouldnt exactly say it's their accomplishment.
Connor Adams
inshallah brother. is it happening?
Connor Hill
They should send em to the northen part of Finland and let em freeze.
Parker Reyes
No, I mean central Asia. It's where most Persians fled to escape from the mudslimes. It's a shame over 90% of them were wiped out in the Mongol invasions.
Asher Howard
Well it apparently gave them back to Russia like Ukraine an Belarus did.
Lucas Kelly
Pak means pure, so Pakistan translates to "land of the pure".
Bentley Robinson
They speak different languages so a union could be difficult Correct?
Thomas Bailey
I can almost picture the frozen statues. Game of thrones-tier
Caleb White
The map looks like a man with a hook nose and a funny hat begging for money tbqh.
Liam Hall
We got a lot of them when they started swarming the borders on autumn 2015, mostly iraqis like 30k-50k and almost no syrians. But when the winter came most of them either got deported or fled back to iraq on their own will because they couldn't withstand the finnish winter. And now there's almost none coming. Sweden getting like 2000 a day. Finland maybe 1-5 a day.
Eli Fisher
But if they exclude Pakistan, they're landlocked and have 0 nukes.
Jaxon Stewart
The Kazakhs speak Russian, The Uzbeks speak Uzbek Kyrgyzstan speak Russian, The Turkmen speak Russian The Tajiks speak russian, it might not be that hard,
Michael Gutierrez
that would be great.
Brayden Gray
Pretty much like this
Jackson Myers
lurk in /his/
learn that CA was the focal point of advancement for eons
lurk in /his/ and learn of the Oxus, Andronovo, tocharians, sogdian, bactrians, khwarezmians who were at the forefront of civilisation
Robert Campbell
One STAN to rule them all
Jose King
well most of the militants in pakistan were from uzbekistan(the worst of em atleast) and they escaped to afghanistan when the army started killing them
Ryder Campbell
>trusting the official story
Ian Hernandez
Kazakhstan is the biggest exporter of potasium. Kazakhstan is the best stan. All the other countries are run by little girls!
Kevin Anderson
>listing off various bacteria Fuck off jew
Bentley Young
this is OP on his laptop.
Dylan Rodriguez
>Stanistan >>Meaning "Home of the Homes
Who the fuck thought this up.
Read a book you stupid plebs.
Brayden Sullivan
I got it of google images kek, just wanted to see what Stan is best Stan
Luke Cruz
>map does not include Germanistan It's pretty much the only relevant stan
Jayden Morgan
Good for you Finland. Keep it up.
Christopher Wilson
Home of the Homes sounds comfy as fuck desu
Sebastian Sanders
...
Adam Sanchez
what the fuck. No they are not.
Henry Wilson
wew lad
Nicholas Williams
Kazakstan's because of the warrior mentality. I think the Ashideena clan was the one that conquered Turkey.
Brody Long
only problem would be afghanistan and pakistan but people already hate the americans here and its just a matter of a good ruler getting elected(don't know how thats gonna happen but ya never know) to completely side with china and russia
Andrew Green
yes they are. I bet for you europe is a country uneducated scum
Nathan Wood
>t. bacteria
Justin Garcia
pakistan straddles the stans and south asia. in that sense it is not a true stan. out of all the true stans kazakhstan is the most developed and militarily powerful.
Ryder Rodriguez
Nigga. Im a fuckin paki.
Owen Richardson
Also most populace by a wide margin
Ethan Green
thats the most straight forwad answer ive recieved so far.
Justin Robinson
...
Caleb Martinez
alright, all I can say is I had breddy good time there without any problems at all.
Levi Young
Hows it like in pakistan now?
Jordan Carter
its mostly the shitty kind of pakis that migrate to the US everyone here hates americans and anyone willing to migrate there is considered a sellout
Mason Smith
Given the opportunity those people crying "sellout" will be the first ones to come here.
Ian Davis
based paki
Cameron Perez
>pakistan is australoid not mongoloid
well this raises the q:
why are indians/paks misclassified as caucasoid, but not aborigines and papuans?
Oliver Wilson
Yes user... Join us..
Jeremiah Ward
Well im here on holiday. I currently live in europe but not permanently. We move around allot depending on where the company my dad is part of puts us.
Ryder Hall
oh its quite better ever since the military operation started in the tribal areas,there are wayyyy less bombings and its well,the only thing bad is the current ruler oh and the deportation of afghans has taken quite some pace
Jordan Roberts
what you on about?
Eli Rodriguez
>current ruler There are no "rulers" in Pakistan
Dominic Flores
pakis are a mix of aryan and south asian natives.
>why arent aborigines and papuans classified as caucasoid
idk why arent chimps? Bc they fucking arent.
Asher Clark
>American education
Jack Bailey
well,we already are with ya the public hates the americans but the current ruler is an american puppet luckily though the military is not so there is that oh and any measure by anyone to get rid of that puppet results in a threat of sanctions from the us(the military didn't even say they were gonna do anything yet still out of fear of losing their puppet,threatened pakistan with sanctions
Adrian Garcia
Central Asia is fascinating. It has been the home to countless ancient civilizations, the bulk of the silk road, a Mongol seat of power, and is probably one of the least documented and archaeologically excavated areas left on the planet. It was there that tons of early advances were made, then spread to the more popular east and west. Read Empires of the Silk Road sometime if you want more info, lots of neat societal details.
Even today while they're mostly post-Soviet 'democracies' and considerably less unique as compared to their past, they're still rapidly rising economically (for the most part, so is corruption though) and have some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. I particularly enjoyed the area around Tashkent.
Stanistan should definitely happen.
Charles Taylor
Why do you hate America when America is the only reason you exist as a country and Iran doesn't just genocide you all?
We could just turn a blind eye and let India wipe you out for all the shit your country has pulled, but we put up with you anyways.
