Exactly. One “easy” way to have open borders is to build a huge damn empire.
Which I guess is one of the reasons Ian Welsh and those types are such Putin fans? I can’t find any valid reasons so I am just spitballing here. Worshipping Putin is both gauche and embarrassing. It’s the lefty equivalent of being a right-wing edgelord. In a way, it’s just pitiful.
But I have no pity because unlike Mr. T, I do not pity the fool.
