| The UN does not really allow annexation of countries, but wholeheartedly supports the creation of new countries. Aren't we eventually going to break up into a gazillion different factions? |

the Kurdish rebellion happened after the Gulf War.
the Invasion of Kuwait was a result of the over whelming debt Saddam accumulated during the Iran-iraq war. |

| Well, okay, but do they actually have a reason for why you can't annex nations, because that rule is a fundamental flaw |

If it has to do with hostile annexation, then thats illegal.
But if its a peaceful union, then thats different. |

But that's Germany, and they've been unifying and fragmenting for millenia
But say, what if you wanted a merger between the netherlands and belgium? not going to happen. |

| Get the US on your side by throwing them a bone, a base contract or etc. Then the UN will be signifigantly easier to throw out of your new possession. |

| But the ability to take over a nation by force is a fundamental right of nation-states |

Iraq Annexes Kuwait > UN Rage and US occupation
Israel annexes Palestine > Israel is now legitimate state under threat from the evil of Iran which must bow down.
