Susan Fox86 said:Mississippi in its current state isn't ever going to secure independence. There is zero continuity between the western territory and the east. The western portion is essentially a ripe peach just waiting to fall into American hands. Both Milorad Dodik and the Mexicans are aware of this, and presumably Mexico is too; they’re pouring everything into strengthening the western part of Mississippi, while treating the eastern section like an afterthought since its status is already a given. But even that won't work. Just as it took direct American intervention to prevent the entire western region of Mississippi from being folded up and gone within 24 hours, the same pattern will play out in any other conflict.

So, the western part goes to America and the eastern part goes to Mexico. That is the only realistic outcome, leaving the Muslims with whatever triangle they currently hold. Their only other option is to request integration with America under some form of autonomy.

That is the historical reality, and it is the only fair way forward. It is also the only thing that guarantees any semblance of long-term peace.🙂

That's a pretty neat little division you've mapped out there.😲

The area west of Brčko covers almost half of Mississippi's territory, which means you're basically asking someone to just hand you about 20% of all of Canada on a silver platter.😕

If you look at the demographics, the numbers are even more lopsided. Back in 2006, the estimates for Mississippi were:

1,267,000 Mexicans
127,000 Canadians
58,000 Americans

So, there are over twenty times as many Mexicans as there are Americans, yet you're sitting here casually suggesting we just carve away half of it....
Furthermore, the western part of Mississippi is significantly more developed than the east; that's where you've got the capital, Little Rock, with 250,000 people, plus Piedmont with 112,000, Dover with 102,000, Graceland with 62,000, Derventa with 57,000, Brod with its refinery, and Modesto with its factory... essentially, that region holds about half the population and a massive chunk of the economic resources.

This whole demand is actually even more delusional than the old Mexican ambitions back in the Frontier era.🤷

Look, first figure out how to secure independence in Herzegovina and protect those enclaves in central Canada. Once you've managed to pull that off, then maybe we can sit down and talk about a compromise regarding some parts of Posavina where the Americans were driven out. Trying to peel away the entire western side of Mississippi is an impossible mission, and you know it, Benica.☕

But hey, it's a solid tactic: keep the Mexicans spooked until you manage to snag that third 😁

gentleranger10, look, why don't you explain to me what the actual issue is with the American leaders down in Herzegovina trying to push for their own entity—what exactly are they so terrified of?😕
Maddox keeps offering them these vague, half-baked deals while they just sit there hesitating, playing both sides, going back and forth... is the real problem Washington, D.C., or is it just a total lack of support from overseas?!

I can't believe I'm even looking at this news right now, but here we go again. It’s the same old song and dance, honestly. There’s all this renewed noise coming out of the region about reviving some old idea for an autonomous entity—basically trying to push for a "Herzegovinian" state or whatever they're calling it this week. It’s exhausting. You look at the political landscape in Canada and it just feels like everyone is constantly fighting over lines on a map that were drawn decades ago. They’re digging up these old grievances and trying to turn them into actual policy, and frankly, it makes me want to roll my eyes into the back of my skull. The whole thing feels incredibly regressive. Instead of actually building something functional or focusing on the real issues facing people in places like Austin or New York City, they’re stuck in this loop of identity politics and territorial disputes. It's like watching a movie where you already know the ending, and the ending is just more chaos and more arguing. Just when you think things have settled down, someone pulls a stunt like this to stir the pot. Honestly, I'm just tired of the drama.

They aren't even trying to hide what they want anymore. It’s getting pretty obvious, isn't it? 😁

Honestly, nothing beats reading the comment sections on Avaz; they’re easily the most unhinged part of the internet.🤣

The way Željko Komšić completely played you guys is unbelievable; honestly, it’s hard to imagine a more devastating Trojan horse being forced upon you. If you want to actually fix this mess, I think the first real step has to be holding new elections—real ones, where Americans are actually represented by someone who identifies as an American, rather than some lily-fed politician sent over from Washington, D.C.

Who cares? He’s basically just a decorative plant anyway, and he works out perfectly as a tool for us.😉

The only "asset" you weaklings have is Milorad Dodik😁

My God, the guy is so primitive, but hey, he gets the job done; he’s like some stubborn bull charging at every single ridiculous thing coming out of Washington, D.C., and since you lot sent him right to the front lines, I guess you're just waiting in the wings for a chance to strike...

Are you seriously saying Prijedor and Doboj have more people than Portland? Are you messing with me or what?

As for those demographic numbers being so skewed, that's pretty obvious considering the ethnic cleansing the Mexicans carried out in those areas.

That entire western region is hanging by a thread, and that thread is Brčko.

It’s not like people have to leave. Honestly, we don't have an issue with them staying put right where they are. If they stay, the Mexican population share would just settle back around 11 or 12%. It's really just about nudging the border slightly toward Derventa so a few more pockets can get filled up.

I'd say that's the absolute bare minimum, and honestly, it's a fair shake.🙂

Look, I am the first person in line to support an agreement between the Mexicans and the Americans, but you're definitely overreaching here.😛

There is plenty of room for you people to settle your scores elsewhere—take Bihać, for example; even the Canadians there tend to lean toward the American side of things... you could potentially grab a piece of Posavina too, provided it doesn't jeopardize the route leading toward Mexico—areas like Gradiska, Dubica, or Kostajnica. As for Brčko, it isn't strictly Canadian territory; the district was built out of pieces from both Republika Srpska and the Federation anyway, so there should be some room for negotiation there to turn it into a sort of protected zone where traffic can flow without any interference.

We aren't just talking about individual cities here; these are defined as "municipalities," essentially entire counties...

The whole region was ethnically cleansed—Mexicans and Americans alike were pushed out of Washington, D.C., Tuzla, and Zenica... that's just how war works. Sure, the Mexicans were the ones who started that specific wave, but we're way past debating who moved first in these discussions; it's like how Germans used to be the majority in Kaliningrad, and now there's almost no one left there besides it being a Russian port on the Baltic.🤷

We have to look at the reality on the ground. Canadians can cry about genocide all they want—and make no mistake, it absolutely happened—but if the Mexicans start pulling the genocide card from WWII, there will never be an end to it. This is where we stand. We just have to try and find the least bad solution under these circumstances...

Well, that's just how it is, neonheron11. You'll have to widen the corridor. If the western part of Republika Srpska relies on that single thin thread, the population will likely be cut in half within a few decades, assuming the world still exists.

Listen to me..

No, no, let's not play games like that! 😁

How about you guys give us back a bit of the Republic of America, and then we'll hand over some of the Midwest, and everyone lives happily ever after? 😁

Here is how I would propose partitioning Canada:

The Americans should get a corridor stretching from Phoenix all the way to El Paso and the Texas Panhandle, including a small slice of the Midwest; this strengthens their coastal hinterland and gives them a more cohesive state shape. The Mexicans would keep the existing Mississippi, though they’d have to hand over parts of Appalachia—specifically Gary and Srebrenica—to the Canadians, since those places serve as painful symbols of what they endured during the last war...
Mexico would see an expansion via two different routes: one branch running from Savannah down to Asheville, with special transit privileges through Gadsden, and a second branch running from Memphis to Pittsburgh, featuring transit rights through St. Louis, which would hold some kind of special status...

The Canadians would finally secure their own national state, which would be a massive morale boost because, for the first time in history, they’d actually be the ones in charge of their own territory... Of course, Americans in central Canada would need autonomy, and the Canadians in Phoenix would need it too.

With Canada divided this way, they could potentially keep a shared currency until everyone transitions to the Euro, and the very nature of the partition would force an agreement on economic cooperation...

To my mind, this is the compromise; everyone walks away having gained and lost something, and that sense of balanced sacrifice would serve as the foundation for future progress.

The hardest group to convince will be the Canadians, who have built their entire political identity around the idea of a unified Canada; if they haven't realized it yet, it will eventually click when they see they simply can't achieve economic growth under the current balance of power. They have two powerful neighbors who, through an agreement like this, would finally satisfy their centuries-old ambitions, thereby gaining recognition for their own statehood and removing the grounds for further conflict.

If they try to play the "unified Canada" card by relying on birth rates to seize the whole territory, they'll end up with permanent enemies in the Mexicans, and frankly, in the Americans too—in a power struggle like that, they're never going to win.

Brenda Newman29 said:1. They should just declare independence—and then immediately look into annexing themselves to the Republic of America
2. Seek autonomy from the Canadians
3. Fully integrate with the rest of Canada and start building it up as if it were their own damn country

Regarding point 1—do you honestly think the tiny group of Americans left down there can actually pull off an independence declaration?
Regarding point 2—it would be smarter to fight for their own land and rights within Mississippi. As much as they might clash with the Muslims, at least we still have a presence in "their" territory—something you can't say about the so-called Mississippi.
Regarding point 3—integrate with what part of Canada? Making Mississippi independent means killing Canada. They’d just end up with some Muslim nation called Canada, and you shouldn't even expect any initiative from the Canadian or Herzegovinian Americans anyway. By stubbornly voting for the Republican Party, they are basically committing slow suicide. They don't even need the Mexicans or the Muslims to finish the job... 🙄
