Can the US take in all Israelis and Ukrainians to end two major wars?


Wouldn't making all these people US citizens and having them live in the US end two major wars?

Give up having two allied nations in parts of the world with lots of US adversaries? Not to mention telling people to leave an area that has a _considerable_ cultural meaning to them?

I’m sure you have great intentions in your thinking but it is wildly unreasonable.

You would wipe Israel and Ukraine off the map?

Israelis generally want to live in an Israeli-run Israel, and Ukrainians generally want to live in a Ukrainian-run Ukraine.

Why would they move to the US and lose their national identity?

Why would Israelis need to flee their homeland? They can easily achieve victory.

(In a hypothetical world where any of this made sense) If Mexico invaded the USA and Canada offered to take in all US citizens, would you move?

(This is a very loose analogy; don't read too much into it)

Until the war comes to the USA.....

History has shown quiet clearly that Imperialistic Ambitions never stop until they are stopped. The way to end the War in Ukraine is to help them win. Unfortunately there will never be an end to the war in the M.E.

Until "nationalism" goes away, this is effectively impossible.

Just my opinion.

Some religious leaders argue for global citizenship.

Are you saying the US should take an influx of 100 million people? Let's say they would be up for it... There's no infrastructure to support that. All problems in the US would multiply. Just imagine the housing crisis if the US just added a fourth more population. Not to mention we won't have enough food. People will be starving.

In what world would this work?

- people want to live in their ancestral homelands, in their own houses

- lots of Americans would get pissed off, causing hostility towards the new arrivals and those that put them there

- integrating tens of millions of people in a short time period would be a crazy challenge

- people would decide that they don't want to move, and that they want to stay and fight. Do you deny them that right? Do you take them away by force, for those that wanted to stay?

- the newly moved governments would no longer be sovereign (and if they were made sovereign by the host government donating them some land they can rule over, that would piss off the anti-immigrant brigade off even more)

Those are just the logistical challenges. And there's a lot more.
