Helpful suggestions

Two low-level Russian diplomats were -- very allegedly -- recorded or somehow overheard joking about their country's next acquisitions, including parts of Italy, the United Kingdom, and the US.  Always ready to take advantage of drunken Stalinist simpletons help out the underdeveloped world, we have some suggestions for places they might want to consider:

• Sudan and/or South Sudan
• Afghanistan
• Texas

No complaints or pushback from neighboring countries would be forthcoming.
