@cruickshank not sure portugal counts as ex-empire. i was thinking Rome or Athens or Istanbul. (not w/o their issues, granted.)1 réponse 0 Retweet 0 j'aime -

@anatosaurus the Portuguese empire was a thing! Sure, it peaked centuries ago, but still. They even had their own colonial wars in the 1960s1 réponse 0 Retweet 0 j'aime -

@anatosaurus seriously. Unfortunately for other ex-empires (like Portugal) it took a period of fascism before it became a quaint destination1 réponse 0 Retweet 0 j'aime
@cruickshank yes. and they didn't have a nuclear arsenal.
