    The Basque Country still belongs to Spain and Northern Ireland still belongs to the UK, so… no, I guess?

    I don’t know enough about that cluster in the Balkans to even speculate on it.

    god that’s stupid, sorry

    Asking if terrorism works isn’t a stupid question. It’s a very impolite question (from the perspective of people in power), and maybe even heartless, but not stupid.

      For the Northern Ireland one it’s a particularly messy question to answer because the attacks were not all working towards the same goal. Pro-UK paramilitaries were a huge part of the Troubles, it wasn’t just pro-independence paramilitaries vs the British army
