The USSR is now Volgarena and the US is now the MAG Union.
Interesting comment from under this youtube video that gets into the censorship:
Golantoruという国名は日本語じゃないと分かりにくいかもしれない、GolanHeightsをToru(奪う)という造語だ MAGAllianceは言わなくても分かるよね 制裁する側のアメリカに居ると体感できないかもしれないが 他の国にとって今イスラエル周辺を話題にするのは大変危険だ アメリカ大統領がICC所長の日本人にした事を考えれば、SARUの選択肢は先見性があったと言える いつ米国の制裁を受けるか分からないのだから
machine translation renders it as:
The country name “Golantoru” might be hard to understand unless you know Japanese—it’s a made-up word combining “Golan Heights” with “Toru” (to seize). I’m sure you all know what MAGAlliance is without me having to say it. Living in the U.S., which is imposing sanctions, you might not feel it firsthand, but for other countries, discussing the situation around Israel right now is extremely dangerous. Considering what the U.S. president did to the Japanese head of the ICC, you could say SARU’s decision was far-sighted. After all, you never know when the U.S. might impose sanctions.
Not to do OP’s homework, but no. Both the anime & manga utterly believed Zion would still be apartheing Palestine. We are playing out a 40 year old prediction to a damned T.
And none of your parents or you did anything to deter it.
Like, do you know me or why do make such claims? Feels a little unnecessary.
It's rhetorical. Like telling someone watching an open flame “don't touch it, you’ll burn yourself!” and they still do it anyways.
I don't know you. I don't know if you are a ghost, hacker, android, politician, child trafficked slave, cop, [insert all examples in GitS], etc.. The machinations predictions in a work of fiction are becoming exceedly true. Are 🫵you going to do anything about it?
