But yes, it's really that simple.
I'm not a fan of the state as we know it, which has been defined since the 1648 Peace of Westphalia in terms of mutually recognized "borders" and "national sovereignty." That model is disintegrating, and I'm hopeful that it will give way to something better.
Until it does, there are far worse ideas than the notion that politicians should limit their claims of "sovereignty" to the spaces within their own "borders," leaving other people and other politicians to work out their own destinies.
