You just can't fix stupid, but you can let them blow themselves up. This ought to be good.

Russia has an HIV epidemic, because they have a culture of believing that HIV and AIDS are a made up US myth. Whoops.

I'm curious, why would enforcing the Irish border be that important? They are two "peaceful" states sharing a common border. It's probably one of those "we have to protect all of our borders" thing... Or does this go back to the whole Brexit thing not making a ton of sense.

Think about the US and Canada. You can't just ignore the border between two countries, it has to be thought out and figured out VERY carefully. Remember, the UK is leaving the EU and the EU is what allows that to be an open border - because they share all information as to who is inside and who can be inside the border. Once the Brexit happens, Ireland could let in people that shouldn't be in the UK and vice versa. And they don't have to tell each other who is there. And you could cross that border to bypass customs and border controls.
