General Discussion

Putin's invasion of Ukraine has lowered the bar for similar actions.

Yes, that could be Trump and Greenland.

It was Azerbaijan and Armenia.

But Turkey's also moved in a bit farther into Kurdish areas.

Maduro continues his nationalist bravado of wanting 2/3 of Guyana because of a Versaille-level historical "injustice" that should be remedied at present. I'm surprised Bolivia hasn't renewed its territorial claims or at least access to the Pacific (so Red Dwarf's "Bolivian Navy on maneouvres" or however the swipe at Bolivia went is not unfounded--landlocked Bolivia has a navy).

The PCR is ever more nationalistically sabre-rattling and sharpening with a view to Taiwan.

Rwanda wants east Congo's minerals, and it doesn't help that for decades it's been said that either Rwandan speakers were wrongly put on the Congolese side of the border or that "enemies" are building up troops there for an invasion. Lowering the bar in Ukraine lowered the bar there, too.

Milei has his hands full with Argentina's long-standing economic disaster, so at least harping over the Falklands/Malvinas isn't likely to resurface for this round of economic buffoonery.

And as we talk about the recently indigenized Chagossians and their travails with the remains of the Empire that first forcibly removed the now ever-indigenous to those atolls, let's not forget that Mauritius has also claimed those specks of barely land and made some non-trivial threats over them.
