& just the possibility of such a coalescence makes
jammu & kashmir look like a better bet now than
kurdistan has lately
in the
worlds next independent country derby
so i revise or hedge my previous best guess
accordingly
hahahaha
&
for a surprise bonus
we may get not just 2 but likely as many as 4 new
tricountry points here
if it really happens
namely afcnjk afjkpk injkpk & cninjk
all presumably along existing state lines you can see
here

funny too how an independent j&k is now looking like
the only way india & pakistan will
e v e r
be able to get down from that glacier
for it would become happily irrelevant in that
scenario
ahhh what a relief
hahaha
could be a soft sell when they finally stop to think
about it too
& lately i have also been noticing the general trend
toward ethnic national coalescence & independence or
fragmentation gaining momentum as bushy thinktankers
like john yoo
http://www.law.uchicago.edu/files/failed-states.pdf
begin to publicly advocate deliberately breaking off &
creating new states along ethnic lines
in preference to maintaining the existing imaginary
territorial integrity
in the case of failed states
& other problem areas
so i do think an independence & tripointing
proliferation may well be imminent
but it is still just so hard to foresee who is going
to be the first winner
or at what speed things might move
could it begin happening this year
well maybe thats rushing things a bit
but more to the point
something else will probably happen first by complete
surprise
hahaha
like maybe bolivia & somalia will more officially fall
apart any day now
haha
what fun
& nearly everyone will be the better for it too when
it finally starts happening
