    But do you have the latest ranged defence system with active threat detection, automatic manoeuvre solution generation and trajectory determined smart countermeasure deployment, which provides protection from APCBC, SAPHECBC, APFSDS, HEATFS ATGM-OTA and ATGM-VT*?

    NO!
    There’s not even a wide spectrum RADAR over there.



  • And considering govts are no longer really going by their original reason of existence and really only trying to extract value from citizens, while amassing power, the ideal scenario can’t really be played out any more.

    Still though, I don’t see how accepting immigrants one cannot value, is going to do any good. The birthplace govts should be the ones making their place better for said citizens. It’s not like they don’t know what standards their people expect.

    For those that are making the other countries worse, just accepting immigrants is hardly an acceptable answer. The mindless profiteering needs to be fixed in the first place. A duct tape measure to look charitable, won’t really fix the underlying problem.



  • This is one of the things I feel like I can’t stand against.

    Governments, by origin, were supposed to be for the citizens that they govern and not for anyone else. And ideally a government needs to first and foremost, justify the birthright citizens that are made to pledge fealty to the state.

    In this case, immigration is something a government would use as a tool to meet their human resource demands. In turn providing temporary or permanent citizenship to the immigrant and maybe their dependants (family).

    Any immigration accepted before knowing that said human resource is required, would essentially be charity.

    Now of course, the above is based upon the assumption that the Government has the right to assert its borders. But undoing that would require changing the definition of a country, which will end up causing a lot more changes than just this one, which then need to be resolved in a proper way and only after we get to the complete final result, can we know if it is desirable.


    This feels like it would make a nice thought experiment:

    • gather points for problems caused by borders
    • gather points for government efficiencies/facilities enabled by borders
    • create a governance model without borders that removes maximum border-caused problems while finding alternative resolutions for problems cause by not having the right to land.
