geography has only been frozen for a few decades, and largely because of america’s military superpower. nations shrinking, expanding, reshaping is the rule, not the exception to it. fukuyama was wrong, history will carry on.

i mean i actually haven't even made my mind up on what i'd like in terms of american policy, my only point is nations growing, shrinking, reshaping is historically very normal, and the change doesn't necessarily track to any fixed morality. could be good, could be bad.
