Yeah sure, tell that to all the obsolete nation states living on the border of Russia.

Who is gonna protect you if the next village town or city decides your individual property is somehow theirs and they have the means and will to enforce it?

As much as you can prep to defend yourself against attacks bh other individuals, nobody around you is bannaed from forming a band/group/nation. And if they are banned, who is going to enforce it?

In the end it all comes down to the ability to direct violence, the society with the bigger stick wins in the end, and nations and systems of governance that can produce smaller sticks are just eventually snuffed from existence, no matter how bright egalitarian and fair they are to their participants … just look at Armenia, Georgia, Cechnia and Ukraine.

And who is going to protect Russian people rights in these "nation states on the border of Russia"? Your country? The only moment when you care about "Russian people rights", is when some ignorant youngsters take out to the streets to make another "revolution" which might destroy their state.
