@@General.Knowledge Please, inform yourself before making a video like this. What you said about Catalonia was embarrassing. And of course a bunch of lies.
The thing with these referendums is that if they are about to be declared ilegal the part that wants to stay does not vote since there is no point to do so and that may mead to misconceptions such as the one about 80% of Catalonia's population wanting a referendum when that percentage is about 40%.
As I understand it, the Kaliningrad exclave is very important for Russian trade as it gives them a large shore in the Baltic sea, so it's unlikely that they'd let it split off
@André Chinese here. Don't want to talk about "angels", because it's kinda off the topic. But in my perspective, many of us think North Korea does not really like us due to the reasons that we are not communism enough etc., and the relationship between two countries is not as good as it used to be.

Spain splitting up into a dozen individual countries would give the Iberian peninsula as a whole a disproportionate amount of power in the EU. For example, four EU agencies have their headquarters in Spain right now. If the country was to fall apart, then that number would drastically increase because of the EU's mandatory decentralisation.
@@adrianzanoli If they split they have to reapply to join EU, it's not an automatic process that if a new state split from a EU state is right away in the EU (btw the issue was used in the scottish ref), so it's a long process once you split.

Yeah, since the whole world seemed to be watching on, he decided to 'revoke' it so as to offer a last-minute chance to dialogue with Spain, thus proving the movement of self-determination is pacific and 'sensible'. Nontheless, he declared Independence a couple of weeks later, on the 27th of October, resulting in the imprisonment and exhile of the then Catalan Government. Spain is just a brutal state.
No way Putin is going to give away Kaliningrad. It’s a strategic point with an access to the Baltic Sea. Also one of the most developed in whole Russia as far as I’m concerned. As a Polish guy living next to the border with Kaliningrad Oblast I really don’t mind. Our relations with its people are friendly and I don’t see any potential of conflict/war, it’s one of the calmest borders of Poland actually, I don’t care what media says. Better let it stay as it is.
@RORIK Bluetooth Well, I'm a german myself, and one of the conservative and realistic sort. I believe you all think that it's easy to reintegrate a piece of land into your country, thats economicly a piece of garbage (in comparison to the rest of your country), which has no direct land connection to the rest of your country, and which is mostly populated by Russians, who dont even speak our language. We sank tons of money into lifting former socialist East germany to Western European Economic Standards (and we're still not done with that) Königsberg/Kaliningrad is simply not worth the investment of tax money. Though it is smaller than the Former Socialist East Germany, it will probably cost us way more in upkeep and maintenance.
@RORIK Bluetooth Germans invited by the Poles murdered native Balts and claimed the land of themselves, now after more than 600 years this land is rid of Germans, so it would be best if it was given to Lithuania which is, just like original Prussians, of Baltic ethnicity and lost vast majority of it's territory over the years.

I'm surprised you didn't include Ireland. Over here, reunification of North and South have been ongoing over the past few years mainly because of the fallout over Brexit. It's very interesting and I predict will happen in my lifetime.
It seems to me that Brexit has made a united Ireland inevitable. It would probably have happened anyway, as I think there is less appetite for division among the younger people and some of the older unionists act very strangely, IMO.
Not so long as the British population is there, a lot of people seem to want to ignore it but its a major factor. there might be a second partition of the predominantly Irish west and British east but the second that they try and seriously push for the seceding of the north into the Republic, the violence will return and whatever needs to be done to avoid that will be perused, so at most a transfer of territory would happen
For the first time, Catholics outnumber Protestants in Ireland. The power sharing agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein is steadily going along. I hope for a united Ireland soon!
Seeing the reunification of Germany following the collapse of the USSR (1989-1991) was amazing for so many of us alive then, because there was little warning to the average person. Diplomacy had improved significantly during the Reagan/Gorbachev years, but the dire straits of the communist economy was unknown. Likewise, the reunification of North and South Korea such a tremendous and beautiful event. Of course, it would be a massive adjustment for those in the North. Although, with a global CBDC on the horizon, it wouldn't be as dramatic a change as it was for East Germany because free-market capitalism will no longer exist. What am I saying; it doesn't exist now?

All jokes aside I honestly don't see an independent Palestine ever happening. Most of the windows on Palestinian independence have closed and the few that remain open are getting smaller quick. In the first place they're losing support worldwide especially with their mafia style leadership and the fact that they're internally deeply and violently divided between Arab nationalist and Islamist groups. Secondly all attempts to defeat or terrorize or boycott Israel into submission have failed and Israel is as strong as ever. The Arab world has lost interest in them and only Iran and Turkey still actively support. Iran is on shaky grounds as it hasn't got the support of its people and Turkeys resources are stretched thin with all the wars they're involved in. Back in the 90s the Left was in control in Israel and the windows were wide open for the Palestinians but they frittered those opportunities away and now the Left is minuscule. Even Netanyahu who is basically a status quo kind of right winger is in danger of falling and being replaced by someone well to the right of him. The Palestinian population statistics have been found unreliable and there are far fewer of them than originally thought. Plus many of them are emigrating as many as 17,000 a year. The only thing the Palestinians did have going for them was their birthrate which in 2000 was 4,6 as opposed to the Jewish one of 2.5. But now that advantage has slipped away and by 2018 it was about 3.1 for Muslims which includes Bedouins who aren't really Palestinian and 3.2 for Jews. The 1.5 million West Bank Palestinians have a 2.7 birthrate and dropping and the half a million plus Jewish settlers 5.1. Rising Jewish birthrates mean that in a couple decades the Palestinians will end up as islands in an ocean of Jews. The most they'll ever get is Gaza and maybe a few larger West Bank cities but even that's doubtful. The Israelis are going to elect a leader whose not willing to put up with missiles and incendiary balloon attacks from Gaza the way Netanyahu does and they will march in and take Gaza back. What I see happening is that the Palestinians will end up emigrating, converting to Judaism, or taking on an identity that is culturally Arab and Muslim but viewing Israel as their country in which they'll become citizens like 1.7 million of them already are. There are many Israelis who are not Jewish who lives in this manner including not only Muslim Arabs and Bedouins but also Christian Arabs, Deruze, Bahais, Circassians, Armenians, non-Jewish Russians, Black Hebrews, Donmeh, Maronites, Assyrians, and various East Asian, African, an East European groups. Now I know you were trying to be humorous but I just wanted to explain why I think Palestine wasn't included in this list.

Region:Tries to do a peaceful referendum to get independence. Central State:That is not valid. Region:Start to use violence. Central State:*surprised pikachu*
True, there is still no international law of what can or can not be an independent country. It always depends on war, violence, international pressure and allies, internal pressure etc. Bougainville just voted 98% to be independent from Papua-New Guinea and there is no guarantee it will happen, because foreign powers, in this case Australia, doesn't want it. But when somebody's independence is good for some power, then it's all about will of the people. In the case of Kosovo, the law was completely ignored, but it suited USA. I think that only moral reason for someone's independence is if the central state is oppressing them. If every nation should have right for its own country, there would be thousands of countries. USA would be divided by Native Americans. And if the will of the people is the only criterion, then 1) what about areas in one country heavily populated by some other nation and 2) no country would allow immigrants anymore because if they all come together in one region, they can vote independence. If the only criterion is some historical right to some territory, then think how much nations was relocated during history and how would the map looked like if they would want that land back. Also, 90% of countries was made by pushing some other nation away.
Also states support their own independence or the ones from their allies from "liberation" but doesn't want to apply the same to separatists in their own country (cough the US supporting "freedom" for Tibetans, Kurds and Kosovars but not for Native Americans or Hawaiians or Abkhazia for example)

Gilles Duceppe was a previous leader of the Bloc Quebecois, and I must say that when he spoke about the issues of Canada, as a nation, be it economic, foreign policy, whatever, he was the smartest politician I have heard since JFK.

At any rate, it was ironic to me, and now, that he was the only policitician I actually respected for his vision and frankness and I regretted that he couldn't represent me!

More like “Quebec: let’s be independent. Canada: You know that we give you millions in subsidies and we let you have all of the strict language laws you want. Quebec: I guess we will stay.” Pretty much Canada has bent over backwards to keep Quebec happy and they have a better deal (autonomy over language rights and education, with lots of federal subsidies) than they would have as an independent nation. Also bilingual Québécois have a huge leg up in getting government jobs especially @ the federal level as it is “unacceptable” that a high ranking official not be bilingual. This means that it is far more likely that a person from Quebec (which has a higher rate of bilingualism) gets a government job versus someone from largely non-Francophone provinces, particularly in the West.

No way Putin is going to give away Kaliningrad. It’s a strategic point with an access to the Baltic Sea. Also one of the most developed in whole Russia as far as I’m concerned. As a Polish guy living next to the border with Kaliningrad Oblast I really don’t mind.

@RORIK Bluetooth Well, I'm a german myself, and one of the conservative and realistic sort.

We sank tons of money into lifting former socialist East germany to Western European Economic Standards (and we're still not done with that)
Königsberg/Kaliningrad is simply not worth the investment of tax money. Though it is smaller than the Former Socialist East Germany, it will probably cost us way more in upkeep and maintenance.
@RORIK Bluetooth Germans invited by the Poles murdered native Balts and claimed the land of themselves, now after more than 600 years this land is rid of Germans, so it would be best if it was given to Lithuania which is, just like original Prussians, of Baltic ethnicity and lost vast majority of it's territory over the years.

It’s probably because it’s just Ireland annexing NI, instead of creating a whole new country like Korea
It seems to me that Brexit has made a united Ireland inevitable. It would probably have happened anyway, as I think there is less appetite for division among the younger people and some of the older unionists act very strangely, IMO.
@@williamnethercott4364 Not to mention Ireland's greater GDP/capita making it a more attractive prospect.
Not so long as the British population is there, a lot of people seem to want to ignore it but its a major factor. there might be a second partition of the predominantly Irish west and British east but the second that they try and seriously push for the seceding of the north into the Republic, the violence will return and whatever needs to be done to avoid that will be perused, so at most a transfer of territory would happen
For the first time, Catholics outnumber Protestants in Ireland. The power sharing agreement between the DUP and Sinn Fein is steadily going along. I hope for a united Ireland soon!
Seeing the reunification of Germany following the collapse of the USSR (1989-1991) was amazing for so many of us alive then, because there was little warning to the average person. Diplomacy had improved significantly during the Reagan/Gorbachev years, but the dire straits of the communist economy was unknown. Likewise, the reunification of North and South Korea such a tremendous and beautiful event. Of course, it would be a massive adjustment for those in the North. Although, with a global CBDC on the horizon, it wouldn't be as dramatic a change as it was for East Germany because free-market capitalism will no longer exist. What am I saying; it doesn't exist now?

@@hbergi17 are you dumb? you missed the fucking joke
All jokes aside I honestly don't see an independent Palestine ever happening. Most of the windows on Palestinian independence have closed and the few that remain open are getting smaller quick. In the first place they're losing support worldwide especially with their mafia style leadership and the fact that they're internally deeply and violently divided between Arab nationalist and Islamist groups. Secondly all attempts to defeat or terrorize or boycott Israel into submission have failed and Israel is as strong as ever. The Arab world has lost interest in them and only Iran and Turkey still actively support. Iran is on shaky grounds as it hasn't got the support of its people and Turkeys resources are stretched thin with all the wars they're involved in. Back in the 90s the Left was in control in Israel and the windows were wide open for the Palestinians but they frittered those opportunities away and now the Left is minuscule. Even Netanyahu who is basically a status quo kind of right winger is in danger of falling and being replaced by someone well to the right of him. The Palestinian population statistics have been found unreliable and there are far fewer of them than originally thought. Plus many of them are emigrating as many as 17,000 a year. The only thing the Palestinians did have going for them was their birthrate which in 2000 was 4,6 as opposed to the Jewish one of 2.5. But now that advantage has slipped away and by 2018 it was about 3.1 for Muslims which includes Bedouins who aren't really Palestinian and 3.2 for Jews. The 1.5 million West Bank Palestinians have a 2.7 birthrate and dropping and the half a million plus Jewish settlers 5.1. Rising Jewish birthrates mean that in a couple decades the Palestinians will end up as islands in an ocean of Jews. The most they'll ever get is Gaza and maybe a few larger West Bank cities but even that's doubtful. The Israelis are going to elect a leader whose not willing to put up with missiles and incendiary balloon attacks from Gaza the way Netanyahu does and they will march in and take Gaza back.
What I see happening is that the Palestinians will end up emigrating, converting to Judaism, or taking on an identity that is culturally Arab and Muslim but viewing Israel as their country in which they'll become citizens like 1.7 million of them already are. There are many Israelis who are not Jewish who lives in this manner including not only Muslim Arabs and Bedouins but also Christian Arabs, Deruze, Bahais, Circassians, Armenians, non-Jewish Russians, Black Hebrews, Donmeh, Maronites, Assyrians, and various East Asian, African, an East European groups.

"Might" falls into "very unlikely".
@@doncarloancelotti2256 Not really. "It might happen" means it is likely, maybe in some circumstances unlikely but never "very unlikely".
@@andyl9658 in response to the original comment, might goes to very unlikely.
It can mean very likely but in this case the comment isn't saying Kaliningrad is likely forming its own nation.
@@BoneziusPilatuz I see what you mean. But for "might", I think it's like there is a possibility WITHOUT saying how likely it'll happen.
Very unlikely means it's most likely NOT going to happen, but Kaliningrad MIGHT form regardless of the unlikeliness.

Region:Tries to do a peaceful referendum to get independence.
Central State:That is not valid.
Region:Start to use violence.
Central State:*surprised pikachu*
True, there is still no international law of what can or can not be an independent country. It always depends on war, violence, international pressure and allies, internal pressure etc. Bougainville just voted 98% to be independent from Papua-New Guinea and there is no guarantee it will happen, because foreign powers, in this case Australia, doesn't want it. But when somebody's independence is good for some power, then it's all about will of the people. In the case of Kosovo, the law was completely ignored, but it suited USA.
I think that only moral reason for someone's independence is if the central state is oppressing them.
If every nation should have right for its own country, there would be thousands of countries. USA would be divided by Native Americans.
And if the will of the people is the only criterion, then 1) what about areas in one country heavily populated by some other nation and 2) no country would allow immigrants anymore because if they all come together in one region, they can vote independence.
If the only criterion is some historical right to some territory, then think how much nations was relocated during history and how would the map looked like if they would want that land back. Also, 90% of countries was made by pushing some other nation away.

I don't see that really happening, the Bloc Quebecois all but fell apart last election.
KendrickMan The Bloc Québécois is federal. Don’t you mean the Parti Québécois?
It's a big thing along the " White Québécois", but most of the immigrants don't want it, like Jaques Parizeau said in 1995 "It's because of the ethcnic votes that we lost"
Gilles Duceppe was a previous leader of the Bloc Quebecois, and I must say that when he spoke about the issues of Canada, as a nation, be it economic, foreign policy, whatever, he was the smartest politician I have heard since JFK. I couldn't vote for him because I am in Ontario and didn't have a personal reason to see Quebec leave the country. At any rate, it was ironic to me, and now, that he was the only policitician I actually respected for his vision and frankness and I regretted that he couldn't represent me! I admit to feeling very hypocritical though when I see other areas of the world struggle with independence movements, but deeply hope Quebec stays with Canada. I am proud of Quebec and what is probably more important than anything is..... the late 1970's Montreal Canadiens were, and remain, the greatest hockey team in the history of the sport!!!

Québec: Let's be a Country !
Canada: "Execute order 66"
More like “Quebec: let’s be independent. Canada: You know that we give you millions in subsidies and we let you have all of the strict language laws you want. Quebec: I guess we will stay.” Pretty much Canada has bent over backwards to keep Quebec happy and they have a better deal (autonomy over language rights and education, with lots of federal subsidies) than they would have as an independent nation. Also bilingual Québécois have a huge leg up in getting government jobs especially @ the federal level as it is “unacceptable” that a high ranking official not be bilingual. This means that it is far more likely that a person from Quebec (which has a higher rate of bilingualism) gets a government job versus someone from largely non-Francophone provinces, particularly in the West.
