Even the modern borders are better than this lmao
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
Did he also propose to give back Mexico Texas and California?
Things that aren’t going to happen.
similar maps will be roamed for ralph’ country in coming years..
„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.
“Don’t let bro cook.”
**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“
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
Real life is not a computer game!
Pakistan became Asia’s togo/benin
Need to overlay the oil and gas on here to see how pissed off everyone would be!
Idts afghans claim pok. Do they?
Lmao the Turks still get Antioch
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 new americans are really bad at geography but not this much…
I’m sure every country in the Middle East would be okay with this. I can’t see any problems at all. LOL
If there’s anything the Gulf states like, it’s arbitrary lines on a map.

Somehow this makes Armenias border even more ridiculous
lol at the Oman is chill let them be
Lol, not even this guy was willing to sort out Palestine.
Fake 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.
