Not really. A country also has to have the ability to be able to defend itself. If every single country in the world recognized Sealand, but they only had a BB gun to defend itself, and 5 guys came up in a rowboat with some AK-47s, and took over Sealand easly, then that's that. What's the point of being recognized?
Example: Ukraine. They are being somewhat successful at defending themselves, and stomping the shlit out of Russia, at least so far.
- user3939382 4y agoI don't know what your definition of "stomping" is but you should refer to this map https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375 https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641...
- skinnymuch 4y agoSeems like Russia doesn’t have that much control. The borders are confusing me a bit. It looks like the top part of Russia’s red borders are mostly in Russia. Not Ukraine.
- As_You_Wish 4y agoRussia thought they were going to conquer all Ukraine in 3 days. How many generals, colonels, captains has Russia lost? How much equipment - trucks, cars, planes? Sure, maybe those have been battles, but who will win the war? Maybe Russia, but maybe Ukraine. I don't know, I can't see the future. But so far, Ukraine has been stomping the heck out of Russia. We don't know if the territory will stay with Russia or not, so that map is of little consequence at this time.
