  1. Good idea. Russia could set an example. Let's have Russia's republics and oblasts vote about independence. See what gives. If it's a success, Ukraine could confidently follow Russia's example.

  3.  @jesusaguilar4585  Yeah, why not. There's separatism in Europe that will undoubtedly lead to some countries splitting in two (or three, or four). Czechoslovakia did it, and so did Yugoslavia. Besides Spain, the UK is a strong candidate, and of course there's Belgium, too. Redrawing Europe's national boundaries won't lead to great drama, by the way. Europe -- geographically speaking, and with the notable exception of western Russia -- has little colonial baggage. Somewhat ironically, the EU is an enabler here. Thanks to the EU, regions no longer need to band together to ward off hostile neighbours, or to compete economically with them. I'm all for Palestine achieving full statehood, too, in case you're curious. It would be great if the Palestinians could put all the money we give them towards nation building rather than mere subsistence.
