      1, If you delete the mainland China...well I guess anyone tries that will be wiped out by Chinese and Russian armed forces first.
      2, If you delete ROC Taiwan...well I guess you'll be wiped out either by US Armed forces, or by an allied US and Chinese armed forces.
      Plus I guess the same can be said about any major countries in the world: for example if we deleted UK 100 years ago we would lose 50% of all the worlds problems in the entire modern history, if we delete US post WWII we would lose 50% of the world problems right now, so I find your words nothing but meaningless sentences of hate speech.

      @@TLguitar It's not a religious agenda - Israeli Jews are in large part from the diaspora prior to the Holocaust - they are a _different people_ to the Arabs of the region. It's an agenda pertaining to ethnicity, since the Israeli government has been allowing illegal settlements in Palestine, forcing Arabs out of their native homeland and engaging in state violence against Arabs in Palestine.
      We're just a few steps short of an all-out ethnic cleansing going on in the apartheid state of Israel, and you're wilfully ignorant of simple reality if you deny this. Israel, however, has a lot of power and diplomatic value to the western world, hence why the Israel is pretty much the only country doing this kind of thing without it being denounced by any western government. No sanctions, nothing. Virtually all international rights organisations recognise that Israel is an apartheid state (as do the _African National Congress_ itself).
      All Israeli and Palestinian people should be able to live, equally, in their historic homeland in peace, under a government with _neither_ the Arab Muslims or Israeli Jews having hegemony. All that Palestinians want is fair political representation and for their land to stop being effectively stolen. We know from India and Pakistan that a two-state 'solution' will only lead to a forever war.
      Nobody should be persecuted in or forced out of their homeland because of their religion or ethnicity.

      @@EpicMiniMeatwad if you're talking about the alliance with both Koreas, Somaliland have been in an alliance with North Korea formally since 1967. And the alliance with South Korea was established in 1987, which I think are mainly because of what Somalis export to Korea. Things like Molluscs, Scrap Copper, fish and car parts. And I think the relationship between Somalia and North Korea is genuine enough, because Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia have already faced UN Sanctions for their alliance with NK. And one of the key reasons Somalia and other countries in the Horn of Africa are allied with NK, is mainly because of their assistance with the Soviets in Civil Wars. The 1974 overthrow of Ethiopia’s pro-American Emperor Haile Selassie and establishment of a Marxist government in Ethiopia caused the Soviet Union to redirect its military resources away from Mogadishu and toward building an alliance with Addis Ababa. North Korea followed the USSR’s lead, and provided support for Ethiopian forces during their successful efforts to withstand Somali tribal aggression in the 1977-78 Ogaden War. The 1991 collapse of Marxist regimes in Somalia and Ethiopia caused North Korea to adopt a more balanced approach to the region. During the 1990s, North Korea assisted Ethiopia’s counter-insurgency efforts in Eritrea and Tigray with provisions of ammunition, rocket launchers, mortar bombs, and grenades. Despite U.S. attempts to convince Ethiopia to comply with UN sanctions against North Korea, the Ethiopian military authorized a major purchase of North Korean weapons in 2007 to strengthen its counterterrorism campaign, further consolidating the Addis Ababa-Pyongyang relationship.

    Hey @RealLifeLore, just to clear some details you mentioned about Morocco. Morocco actually annexed its southern territories "western sahara" that belonged to it before the spanish colonization so obviously it's not an invasion. Moreover, the area you said is controlled by POLISARIO is in fact a buffer zone controlled by MINURSO. Lastly, the number of countries that recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over western sahara is more than 91 countries, for instance: USA, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Austria, Turkey, Germany, The Netherlands, United Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia and the list also includes a huge number of african countries except for Algeria, Mauritania and South africa.

    Fun fact: The current country of Timor-Leste had a very similar situation to Somaliland. Not even a week after the Portuguese left, Indonesia unilaterally invaded and annexed them. This lasted from 1975 to 1999, because Indonesia was never able to break the will of the people there. In 1999, Indonesia left, and the territory briefly reverted to Portuguese rule until independence was established in 2002. Some people say that Somaliland voluntarily joined with Somalia, but that's really not true. It was pre-arranged between the UK and Italy. The local population did not want it.

      Correct with regards to the Indonesian invasion - there wasn't even a proper independence transition, Portuguese troops and administration left and Indonesia invaded with tacit US support in order to prevent a potential USSR-aligned guerrilla movement from coming to power. The territory did not revert to Portuguese rule in 1999, though - after weeks of scorched earth violence fostered by Indonesia following the overwhelming vote in favour of independence, the Indonesian government finally caved to international pressure and accepted a UN presence in the territory with a goal to prepare East Timor for independence. It just happens that the UN and most western countries (except Australia...) never recognized neither the Timorese independence of 1975 nor the subsequent Indonesian annexation, this meant that as far as recognition was concerned East Timor was a Portuguese territory until it became sovereign in May 2002.

      You usually don't recognise because you claim it's your territory and then if others support your claim they can't recognise it either.
      Though it seems "what's a China?" over there is a bit of an exception.
      The issue is that if let's say Cyprus recognised the Turkish occupation then they cannot claim it's their country anymore, it's basically foregoing your rights.
      Kind of weird how you can't simply recognise an entity exists and still claim that if it was ever taken over by some entity you decided on then you'd support that.
      As in "X acknowledge north Cyprus is Turkish territory but if Cyprus was to invade it, X would side with Cyprus provided they actually win because we ain't doing nothing about it other than claim we don't acknowledge that a war happened"
