People seem to think that borders are forever or can only change with war. Why not let this part of Ukraine that clearly seems to want to be with Russia become part of Russia? There’s obviously different parts of the country with differing allegiances and the existing borders are artificial anyway.

Just another situation that will leave the USA looking feckless and ineffective. Don’t sign treaties unless you really mean it.

That is probably what will happen.

I suppose now Barry will host a Golf Summit with Putin?

That sounds like the best solution.

I wish we had made an effort to divide Iraq up into 3 countries. I suppose that the strategic southern zone might have merged with Iran. That wouldn’t have been good. However, when people just don’t get along with their neighbors, it is time to consider secession.

That’s a good idea.

How do we apply that here?

California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas should be in Mexico?

All of the states around the great lakes go to Canada, eh?

Florida should be annexed by Cuba.

All of the northeast can go to Russia. That region can be known as, New Ukraine.

How much conflict is caused by these arbitrary borders set up by imperialists and communists in the 20th century? Ukraine isn't a nation. Iraq is three nations, it isn't a country for goodness sake (Biden actually got that right, then shut up). Just about all of Africa has borders that are totally irrelevant to tribal loyalties. Heck, I bet a large % of Africans don't know what "country" they live in. But they know their tribe! And we tell them to have democratic elections based on issues?

And of course, the shooting in Europe in WWII started over bogus borders drawn up after WWI.
