Ah, okay, thank you both .

I think I just got the one about the Armenian genocide. Turkey brings a photograph in 'invisible' ink and Azerbaidjan cannot see it but Armenia see it is an old picture of him and his parents back when he was a kid. Refers to how the Armenian genocide is ignored by most people outside of Armenia proper and denied by Turkey.

You mean that thing that didn't happen?

Taiwan and China can't see each other?

Taiwan and China can't see each other?

They deny each other's existence, so, yeah.

 

[Traitorfish]

Taiwan doesn't recognise Mongolia, either. I guess when you're already claiming territory hundreds of times larger than what you actually control, you might as well throw a bit on top.

That's the single creepiest Polandball comic I have ever seen, for multiple reasons.

(North Sentinel Island, for the record, is home to India's last uncontacted tribe - and their people have fiercely resisted any attempts to establish contact. India just stopped bothering)

I'd heard somewhere that they actually did make successful peaceful contact at one time, albeit just by sending coconuts to the island from a boat.

How do you peacefully send coconuts from a boat? I can picture the natives taking shelter as the coconuts rain down, screaming "I told you we should just shoot them!!! Next time we sink that boat!!!"

Indian exploratory parties under orders to establish friendly relations with the Sentinelese made brief landings on the island every few years beginning in 1967.[1] In 1975, Leopold III of Belgium, on a tour of the Andamans, was brought by local dignitaries for an overnight cruise to the waters off North Sentinel Island.[5] The cargo ships MV Rusley and MV Primrose ran aground on coastal reefs in the summer of 1977 and August 1981 respectively. The Sentinelese are known to have scavenged these wrecks for iron. Settlers from Port Blair also visited the sites to recover cargo. In 1991, salvage operators were authorized to dismantle the ships.[8]

On 2 August 1981, the ship Primrose grounded on the North Sentinel Island reef. A few days later, crewmen on the immobile vessel observed that small black men were carrying spears and arrows and building boats on the beach. The captain of the Primrose radioed for an urgent drop of firearms so the crew could defend themselves, but did not receive them. Heavy seas kept the islanders away from the ship. After a week, the crew were rescued by a helicopter working under contract to the Indian Oil And Natural Gas Commission (ONGC).

The first peaceful contact with the Sentinelese was made by Trilokinath Pandit, a director of the Anthropological Survey of India, and his colleagues on 4 January 1991.[9][10] Indian visits to the island ceased in 1997.[1]

The Sentinelese apparently survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the event, an Indian government helicopter observed several of them, who shot arrows and threw stones at the hovering aircraft with the apparent intent of repelling it.[1][6][11] Although the fishing grounds of the Sentinelese were disturbed, they appear to have adapted to the island's current conditions.[12]

On 26 January 2006, two fishermen were killed by Sentinelese when their boat drifted near the island.[13]

From 1967 onwards, the Indian authorities in Port Blair embarked on a limited programme of attempts at contacting the Sentinelese, under the management of the Director of Tribal Welfare and anthropologist T. N. Pandit. These "Contact Expeditions" consisted of a series of planned visits which would progressively leave "gifts", such as coconuts, on the shores, in an attempt to coax the Sentinelese from their hostile reception of outsiders. For a while, these seemed to have some limited success; however, the programme was discontinued in the late 1990s following a series of hostile encounters resulting in several deaths in a similar programme practiced with the Jarawa people of South and Middle Andaman Islands and because of the danger of introducing diseases.[11]

Well, it could be worse.

It could be the UKIP, with Nigel Farrage's Intestinal Lavages.
