AHEM!

While we're making crazy changes to the timeline, can I suggest one more? Let's get Britain to finally depose the monarchy. With nowhere else to go, the House of Windsor flees to North America. We now refer to, "Charles, King of Canada."

Ukrainian regulations were/ are all aligned with Russian ones, take a guess how the future looks like for that arrangement.

[jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de]

And after 3 years of negotiations and Ukraine being probably the fastest country to adapt their laws in the history of enlargements they are still nowhere near close to be aligned with the EU on internal market rules.

But then we Europeans would have a border with the USA.

Not sure if I want that.

Sorry, I didn't have my microscope with me.

You mean they'd elect someone to say that the European Atlantic Union should be a US state or else?

Perhaps a line comprised of the northernmost US states could form a separate country as a buffer zone.

"The Union of Somewhat Less Barbaric United States of Northern America" or something

Spain too, please. He can go "rule" Nicaragua or something, idk

Dominion of the Europeans and their former colonies?

Céline please.

What about Russia? I mean hypothetically, if they weren't being utter cunts, of course. What makes Russia Russia is entirely in Europe, but the country is so stupidly big, 2/3 of its land is still in Asia.

Similar question for Turkey. They have East Thrace in Europe, and around half of their biggest city, but almost everything that makes Turkey Turkey is in Asia. They're arguably much more Asian than Russia but somehow they'd be considered for application if their government were to become civilised.

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

Perhaps we can consider them to be Eastern Greenland?

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

Especially Scotland

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

The point isn't that it's fast nor that it's easy, but that it is entirely doable if you just want it to be done

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

But aren't our standards, like, communism?

[jenesaisquoi@feddit.org]

The White House has been looking a lot more burnable than it did in the past tbh
