So the “nation” that doesn’t even consider itself independent sounds independent to you?

They cannot claim themselves independent or else China would attack. Don't you think it's kind of ludicrous that a country can force another "region" to not be independent by threatening them?

What are your opinions on the civil war in the US?

Should the confederacy have been allowed to leave without threat of force?

I don't really care about the history of the US.
