Bullshit. They maybe don’t have representation in many countries but it is not like they pretend those countries don’t exist.
Be like Buhtan is still a good motto tho

Ah yes be like Bhutan – the country that chased out roughly a quarter of its population in the 90s through forced expulsions of the Lhotshampa, mass denationalization, and ethnic cleansing. Very cool.

Bhutan’s GDP is probably like $4,500 and like 5% the population of Cleveland. It’s easy to have no carbon emissions when you have no population or economy.

Bhutan has a powerful backer in the name of India who is desperate to keep a allied buffer between it and China.
India maintains Bhutan’s road , gives it aid , develops hydropower infrastructure (Bhutan primarily exports electricity to India) and basically protects Bhutan militarily (in 2017 Indian and Chinese troops were engaged in a serious standoff where China attempted to encorach on Bhutanese land).
India also trains Bhutanese military and sometimes police too.
Majority of nations aren’t in this position.
Also the part of Bhutan not recognising those countries is false , Bhutan simply does not maintain diplomatic ties with those countries and instead relies on India

*claps* So the way to carbon negative is once again ethnic clensing.

Look, I’ve seen the pics and I wanna go there. It looks absolutely breathtaking.
Having said, the majority of carbon emission is probably from people breathing.

No thanks. I prefer to have a modern society and the infrastructure that goes with it.

Bhutan is not the only carbon negative country. Basically any country with a lot of forest are carbon negative.

Bruh can we stop glazing Bhutan and act like it’s some utopia? If you read into the history of it the county literally displaced its citizens and I know of people that had to seek asylum in Nepal because of the displacement.
