good point
& it practically smithereens the whole exercise into finding
a kurdistan or bantustan or what have you
behind every bush
yet such
little regard for ethnic regions
isnt only true of african & asian borders
for if one went back far enough &or dug deep enough under
practically all present tricountry points everywhere in the world
a fully surrounding ethnic concentration of some sort could
i imagine
very probably
be identified by name
at least historically
so i suppose only by adding some qualification here
like say
that this concentration remain an identifiable local majority today
in all 3 convergent country corners
could this busted game be revived
into being worth the candle again
