I wish that one day all borders in the world were like this.
- nerbert 5y agoYeah it really shows how peace and nations working together can make stuff like that a non-issue. Everyone is so relaxed about it.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoOr more cynically, things only go smoothly when there's nothing at stake.
- majewsky 5y agoIt's the other way around. The thing that's at stake is economic cooperation, so both sides are more willing to find an amicable solution than otherwise.
- oblio 5y agoWorld peace will happen when everyone in the world [1] will be convinced that every other human out there is worth more to them alive, unharmed and happy. [1] Or at least an overwhelming majority of people.
- brnt 5y agoNot to mention peace! War is expensive, deadly, and altogether unpleasant. It's good to know this gets higher priority than minor territorial changes.
- SllX 5y agoFrance and Belgium are within the Schengen Area and the sign out front says 81 years since the last Blitzkrieg. This is really small potatoes.
- enimodas 5y agoThat's what they said before ww1
- BitwiseFool 5y agoI think that's only the case because this a really insignificant amount of land, nothing is "at-stake", both countries belong to the EU, and most importantly the "real" border is a line on a map that both countries agree on.
- lenkite 5y agoYes, let a hundred such farmers do this and claim several square kilometres of territory. After all this farmer did and got away scot-free. Thus more people can do it. Frankly, if he doesn't get rapped on the knuckles it's a guarantee that other folks will try the same thing. Borders should be changed via treaty and diplomacy not by some un-educated moron deciding to take matters into his own hands. That only encourages border conflicts.
- josephcsible 5y agoYou make it sound like his change to the border is going to stick. They told him to put the stone back where it was. If he refuses, he probably won't get away scot-free.
- Faaak 5y agoYou're the exact justification of why we can't have borders like this: because there will always be someone who knows better and wishes harm on others.
