Pony Open Thread: what does this mean?

According to the constructivist theory of liberal democratic peace, intersubjective social realities are often more important in the construction of pacific unions of interstate peace.

    …written by a Finn. They have the time up there, between rounds of wife carrying and mobile phone throwing. If it wasn’t for the damned Mosquitos – they’re like unmanned drones…painted in UN colours with evil on their minds.
