I mean im an adult that can contextualize the geopolitical reasononing behind why this is a bad deal without relying on heavy handed amerocentric hypotheticals.

To be clear, I never disagreed with your point. I just think that your comparison was dumb. And honestly, using alaska is even worse.

I dont know why you need a comparison in the first place. You already have the actual event to look at. Its in eastern europe. And they are in a war.

To that point, lets be real, even the united states doesnt really care about new mexico. Crimea in this argument has actual economic value.

Honestly any square foot of what russia has stolen from Ukraine has so much more economic value in comparison to new mexico, its hardly a realistic comparison.

I get what you are saying. But taos vs a warm water sea port is such an insane comparison. Its so much worse. Albuquerque? Let em have it. Santa fe? Please.

Truly despicable. Seeding to at least 1 to 1 is the bare minimum of courtesy and humanity. If you dont, its unethical
