Helpful stacker, thats an interesting question. If it were 3 people living on a lonely rock far away, directly or indirectly paid by the dutch government, with extreme immigration laws. Do they have the right to self determination and should we send out a fleet to protect their rights. Yes, No? Why? 50 people? 100? Were they the first to live there? Not?

Does it depend if big Brazil or tiny Peru makes claims? Of course.. No? Does the ROW agree? Ignore? The UN, ignore them (this time only)?

What about rebuilding the villages and farms somewhere in Scotland, same climate, fishing, oil, an RAF base.. Problem is, it just isn't the same. Scotland is a so much better, more interesting, historic and beautifull place to live if you (and your children) feel British. Or is there more? what?
