    Why would Pakistan comprise of modern day states of Sindh and Punjab even though they are ethically differently, yet Balochistan is ‚free‘?

    Otherwise called the piss off everyone except the Kurds (and Jordan Weirdly?) map

  3. „Saudi Homelands Independent Territories“? „S.H.I.T.“? This guy was trolling.

    Afghanistan should be divided between Pashtuns and Tajiks, Tabriz should go to Azerbaijan, not Kurdistan

    On the other hand Splitting Iraq between religions sides is a good idea.

  5. **Will this be the ultimate map that make everyone in the region Angry simultaneously?**

    This solution is slightly better than this one:

    Wow, is this for real? These are so bad… that Pakistan is completely unsustainable, Syria and Iraq becomes landlocked, that Arab Shia state controls way too much oil, and Why bother with balkanizing Saudi Arabia? I understand giving the holy cities of Islam to a neutral nation and not wahhabist Saudi Arabia, but this is a lot of land that would be lost. It would completely destroy the Saudi economy and makes them irrelevant, which they would never agree on obviously.

    Noticing that israel’s borders aren’t touched at all.

    Lol . Lmao even.

    I like how even in a map designed to solve middle eastern border conflict, for Israel/Palestine he throws up his hands and says „I don’t fucking know“ 

  10. according to wikipedia Ralph Peters is a crime author who worked military intelligence specializing in the Soviet Union, spent most of his career in Germany, and retired in 1998 pre-GWOT

  11. Need to overlay the oil and gas on here to see how pissed off everyone would be!

    Trying to redraw borders on paper like this ignores how messy identities and politics actually are on the ground. Feels more like a thought experiment than anything workable.

    I’m sure every country in the Middle East would be okay with this. I can’t see any problems at all. LOL

  14. If there’s anything the Gulf states like, it’s arbitrary lines on a map.

    Kurdistan gets access to the sea but it is ultimately controlled by Turkey … a cruel joke!

    „Islamic Sacred State“ is another iteration of the various proposals to internationalize Jerusalem, Constantinople, Danzig, Trieste, …

    Ticks the boxes for the Yemenis, Baluchi’s, Kurds not so much for the Saudis and Israelis. I don’t think it will help Afghanistan though, there is a hodgepodge of ethnicities that barely tolerate each other at the best of times.
