This division doesn't even make any sense. All of these places have wildly different characteristics and this grouping is a horrible way of dividing the country, all of these 5 countries would have lots of new problems

[-] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

That's the goal. Break them in a way that makes them all fucked and likely to infight for decades or centuries. The British partitioning of India had the same intention. If you can't conquer, divide.

And if it precipitates a genocide, well, that's the cost of slightly weakening Russia and China.

just like Sykes-Picot

He wants to do this to all the BRICS countries. Here's one of his various unhinged South Africa charts.

Dude is a total crank.

This guy is incredible. He's just going around the world demanding into the void that countries should drop their neutrality or pro-Russia stances and drawing fantasy maps of them being partitioned.

[-] ComradeLove@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

So how's he going to enforce that? Invasion?

This reminds me of when I was in high school and would doodle fake maps for RPG games, but I actually just liked drawing maps.

Ridiculous that this is the reaction to Brazil behaving rationally and logically for a country in its position both geographically (they have nothing to gain from supporting either side in the conflict) and ideologically (they have nothing to gain from supporting either side in the conflict).

Also, kinda erroneous to say it's "NATO" like it's some monolithic eldritch being like the Night Vale City Council. We know the name of the man who said it, and it is likely that it's shared by many there but, someone at whatever PR/Communications department they have for NATO has a lot of fires to put out.
