Polandball I - Polandball can into space

That explains... Nearly nothing.
Perhaps the biggest question, and one that I hope will slot everything else in place is, 'what is "eyyubi"?

Less importantly, why does Syria say 3arab. I can't see any reason at all for it.

3 is used in Arabic-speaking internet communities to represent a symbol in the Arabic writing system that looks like a revered 3.

Turkey and Syria are trying to find whether Saladin, founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty, was a Turk or an Arab. They are teleported back to the past by Morocco, and upon reaching Saladin's time, they find him killing Christians and Shias, and he is a Kurd, so neither can claim that he is Arabic or Turkish.

Okay! That answers that! Well done.

Why are the swastikas censored?

 

[SouthernKing]

Presumably to comply with laws in a good number of European countries which make public display of Nazi-related symbols and so forth illegal (for good reason)

Ah, I know you have to NSFW tag any controversial flags on /r/vexiology for those laws. I didn't know that we had a similar rule on this forum.

As far as I know CFC doesn't; presumably it's part of the original image.

 

[cybrxkhan]

I know on Facebook the Polandball page there replaces the swatsikas with a similar-looking symbol consisting of four Facebook f's since Facebook would get on their ass otherwise

Lol? Germany is 'a good number of european countries'? Not that they don't try.

I suppose they cannot see swasticas in the internet this way.

Also France and some others, IIRC.

More on topic: I don't get both last comics.
Unless in the last panel of the last that's supposed to be Mongolia (?), who also knows how to burn down Moscow.
