Come on. There's gotta be a time where the west arbitrarily partioning a country worked, no?
They partioned Palestine arbitrarily and gave some to the displaced... oh nevermind
Well they successfully partitioned the middle east after WW1 and created Iraq and Iran and... oh right. Nevermind.
What about when the west partitioned India and Pakistan after British Rule? That worked out great? No? Oh right.
I've got one! The west put in arbitrary borders around countries in Africa and that ended the bloodshed, no? Oh, right.
Maybe we don't do it this time
