    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.

Why should Russians join Europe? So that we have 100 genders? So that the Russians in one more place officially become subhuman with curtailed rights?

      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.

      You are right. That agreement of 1964 was unilaterally and unlawfully abrogated. Barotseland has been in existence for centuries talk of 15th century. The Portuguese explorers know this well. Others are the German and French missionaries and The British Missionaries/ business people till May 1964 at the regrettable Barotseland agreement symposium in London. So the claim of Barotseland independence restoration is not a myth but REALITY. The unit of measure for Barotseland autonomy restoration is Time and kinetic effort peacefully.

      The UK left the EU on 31st December 2020 not just England. Wee Mrs Kranki is insane she wants Scotland to be independent and then to hand over the country to the EU, in the vain hope that the EU will fund Scotland's £15 billion per annum deficit.

    To me places like Catalonia wanting independence after being part Spain for well over 500 years is kind of ridiculous. In all that time couldn't they have learned how to be more part of Spain since this could lead a great deal of economic disruption and harm to the rest of Spain.
