I took it that mg was talking about a process of formal recognition. I suspect that most countries may well never get round to formally recognising each other, any more than individual people formally recognise each other or families formally recognise one another.

In fact formal recognition feels like something you'd do because the process of informal recognition had broken down.

Mrrzy ~~ IMO your question has been dealt with adequately in the answers above wrote MtheGM. I can't see it myself. There've been people saying they are for or against recognition, and lots of stuff about events long ago - but I haven't seen much if anything directly about why recognition is something that should be opposed. I may have missed something - it's a long thread.
