Despite the globalists dreams of no more countries seems like we humans prefer self rule from smaller countries of our own. Next up....Kurdistan!

There’s a lot of friction about the Kurds but I hope President Trump stays neutral while the folks in the region sort it out.

Israel wants the Kurds to buffer Iranian ambitions and as a sort of ‘consolation prize’ for Iran winning in the Syrian Civil War with Russia helping to prop up Assad.

Israel was against Assad because he was aligned with the Iranians-Hezbollah.

Surely you mean, ‘Next up… CSA’? How many nations do you think the US should be divided into?

Maybe these countries for starters?

Although, if believing it sensible to create new nations with populations of only 7½m people, with that yardstick, I suppose you might prefer ultimately splitting the US into as many as 43 nations?

Incidentally, between voting against, spoiling ballots and abstaining in accordance with Spanish law, 62.17% of Catalans appear to be loyal to Spain.

¡Cataluña es España y siempre lo sera!

Unfortunately, most of the leaders pushing for Catalonian independence are not really committed to self-rule. They want a Catalonia independent of Spain but still in the EU. It takes a special kind of multiple personality disorder (or doublethink) to demand independence from Spain while surrendering sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. You see the same insanity with advocates of Scottish independence: anti-London, but pro-Brussels and pro mass immigration. So much for their "nationalism."

Smaller countries may find it harder to stand up to international forces and institutions.

Scotland or Ulster or Wales, say, would find it harder to stand up to the EU or UN than the United Kingdom would.

Catalonia wants to be free from Spain, but I don't think they're great challengers or opponents of the EU.
