Last of the Red Banners - Soviet Afghanistan & The Soviet Union

 Conceived in equity and revolution, yet detached from the Divine.  The first star born of earth was a red star.  It would inspire a 10,000 to the enchantment of the revolution.  However much, it was a soul-less man made star.  In the end, this forlorn effort to solely ground our lives to the ego, and dismiss the irrational side of the human heart, could not tolerate this mundane and lovely object objective existence.  

The Red Army was once upon a time a most valued ally in our time of crisis, upon the longest midnight hour of humanity.  In 1941 the United States was confronted with the choice; to either join a Communist alliance or holding the line independently against Nazi-Germany.  In 1941, the US Army was chosen to combine her power with the Red Army.  

Although victors by 1945, both nations were tested by peer pressure to undergo a most dramatic of metamorphosis.  In 1945, US was a free nation, with it's own kind of Christian based caste system (that rivaled Hindu-caste system of India), likewise the suffocating debts incurred by the new Soviet, scientific, utopia were toxic to the human soul.  

The US of 1945 compared to the US of 1985 were indeed stark, and the US would win the race to change itself to a more equitable situation, acrimoniously casting of the yoke off its racially based caste system of laws.  However, the Soviet Union double downed on the control of the masses for a hallow dream, that circumcised the human spirit.  

Providentially  the powers amongst the Socialist Councils took a long and deep, soulful self-inspection, and chose to undergo the ultimate metamorphosis.  The straw that broke the camel's back was a monumental failure in Afghanistan.  In this wake, the Giant Red Robot was awoken to its own folly, and after the retreat of 11/9, it inspired the most majestic hope of hopes, across the world, it would finally surrendered to the ever present call of the divine, on Christmas-morrow, 1991. 

      

Ukraine & Selisia

As Ukraine has garnered space away from Russia, there are Selisians who wish to garner space away from Poland.
 

They have concordant flags of blue and yellow, and their stylized eagle marches to different beats.

They sit at a crux between Eastern & Western Europe.

 

Aland & The Faroe Island - Aloft and Alone

 Micro Non-Nation states on their own private islands.  They are on the out rim of other nations and yet must make a choice to join another or remain in the twilight storm. 

 

Turkmenistan & Pakistan - Nations of the Middle West

 Just as their is the Middle East, there is the Middle West.  Islam was destined to root and bloom within these lands.  They are beyond the Arab and Persian.  They both had an age were Christian Empires would overrule their native people of the most powerful Empires; Russia for Turkmenistan and England for Pakistan.  

However they have broken free from their forlorn colonizers, yet have a true potential to maintain a friendship between Islam and Christianity, and bridges of memory between Russia and England.  From Queen Elizabeth to Peter the Great, upon the Glory of WWII, they share memories with the West and memories with the Traditional East, the Middle East.  Thus they deserve the term of being the true Middle West. 

    

Lebanon & Tahiti, Lands Consecrated by the Frenchman

 At opposite ends of the Earth, they are sisters quite literally underneath each other.  Dig down straight down from Lebanon you will French Polynesia.  

We can make earth Heaven or Hell, and these two places have born witness two both.  It is up to each to choose heaven.  

 

Hungary & Bulgaria - Major Nations on Europe Minor Across the Rift to Asia Minor

 Eastern Europe by geography, and unique slices of Europe challenge the trinity of Germanic, Slav, and Latin voices.  They are ancient arrivals who entered when the Roman Empire was in its heyday.  Along the Danube they have bore witness to changes, and carry an age that Western Europe is totally ignorant, when they for a time lived under Islamic Supremacy under the Ottoman Turks.  

After fall of the Last of Middle Age Empires, the Ottomans, they wickedly expressed their freedom.  However during The War of Endless Tears they joined in alliance with Nazi Germany, as the lesser point of Axis Powers that are often ignored; as Italy, Japan, and Germany get all the credit for being a part of the Axis.

 But in the aftermath of the Allied Victory, geography again and the powers that be saw that were pulled in the Soviet Orbit hard and fast.  But after the most hopeful key note in human history on 11/9 they were liberated by a gentle letting go and letting God. 

Today they live free and have a depth that no power in the East nor the West can truly understand.  Their unique sufferings political overcasts to the extreme edges of humanity has given them a secret knowing, and true appreciation for their own cultures.  

Yes, they are sisters but separated by parallel fates of time. 

 

  

Azerbaijan & Uzbekistan - Central Eurasia

 Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan are sisters of Central Asia.  Once upon a time they were drafted into the Soviet Empire.  But in a past life they were in the Russian Empire.  Further back there were home to Khans and an essential core of the Great Mongol Empire.  Through the ages they kept true to their culture and have taken their first steps into the modern world with radically different approaches.  

From the Caspian to the Aral Sea, they sit alone and are often ignored by the greater world, yet are players who song is just beginning.
