History is history, you can't deny it or hide behind patriotism. The results of creating arbitrary borders in Asia are there for everyone to see. It's time to except this fact and move beyond it.
you're reasoning with a hypothetical. there is no saying what would happen had those arbitrary borders not existed.
behind this psuedo-rational attempt is some very weak gruel. and short of intellectual inadequacy the only motivation i can find for the person making these arguments is a terrible need to be a sycophant, especially given the venue.
