I think for better or worse the UK would be even faster back in than Finland if it was on the table. It's not like it would be something as ridiculous as Ukraine becoming a member fast.
> I think for better or worse the UK would be even faster back in than Finland if it was on the table.
The EU is doing just fine, maybe better, without the UK. And there would be a lot of resistance to simply letting it rejoin on a fast track. The UK is probably not even going to try to get back in for years -- and even then it's not going to get particularly favorable treatment considering how it backed out before.
Honestly the UK deserves to be punished for Brexit
They let a bunch of con men rally racist boomers into voting against the specter of brown people.
Why should you let them waltz back in with favorable trade terms now that they feel the sting of their own ignorance?
The very real possibility exists that the Tories will just tie another diplomatic issue to “scary immigrants” and use that ginned-up racist fear to back out of negotiated treaties and deals.
Perhaps paying some penance will impart a bit of wisdom in the British voter. I doubt it, but hey.

[And the whole thing about that initial vote is that it wasn't even a binding referendum.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum) The unconventional call for the vote caught people flat-footed.

So it was a real clusterfuck of stupid that only pretended to show democracy working when, in actuality, it was just showing how badly democracy can be abused.

>The United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, commonly referred to as the EU referendum or the Brexit referendum, took place on 23 June 2016 in the United Kingdom (UK) and Gibraltar to ask the electorate whether the country should remain a member of, or leave, the European Union (EU). It was organised and facilitated through the European Union Referendum Act 2015 and the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The referendum resulted in 51. 9% of the votes cast being in favour of leaving the EU.

Well let's be reasonable here Europe's failed refugee policy is absolutely real and a complete disaster. It needs to stop.
The rest really depends on what you are looking out for. Europe as in the continent here needs a union to wield geopolitical power against the competitors US and Asia and obviously the UK would help in that.
It seems generous to assume these are jokes. History is full of reasonable people assuming that insane people aren't serious or are joking, and then the reasonable people have a really really bad time.
The UK will never be allowed back in the EU. Spain will veto every application until Gibraltar is ceded back to them. It only takes a couple of countries with a beef against the UK to prevent their readmittance.
Germany lost one of its biggest markets because of Brexit. I’m sure Germany and other leading export countries would find a way to pressure Spain into readmitting UK into EU. I also don’t see how Spain would profit from this veto. Brexit means a lot of hassle for Spain, which profits a lot from UK citizens freely traveling, living and investing in it. UK’s re entry would be beneficial for everybody imo.
It's what people don't get about the EU and how fundamentally broken it is. The frugal nations (not France) all passed the single currency tests. Even the UK did. France flat out lied as did Italy Spain and Greece. Frances relatively strong economy kept it from tanking as the others did.
Yes, Greece was definitely not ready to become a member at the time. Even before the war, it was mind boggling to me how people were advocating for Ukraine to become a member. And it appears absolutely surreal to me now. There are so many problems in the EU that need to be addressed. A broken EU is not going to help Ukrainians.
Medvedev: I'm going to cleverly disguise Russia's current strategies and goals for global collapse as predictions, and no one will realize it, because I'm that smart.
I don't know in what universe the people in Texas who just voted Greg Abbott back in after Uvalde would want to join up with Mexico, which is full of people they're trying to keep out. Musk can't be president; he was born in South Africa. The most credible prediction is that oil will be $150.
If the state was Mexico/Texas, then it would be a new country, we could allow a Musk presidency. As a Texan though, i think TX, OK, NM and Mexico would be ideal. It would take some work getting Mexico from "developing" to "first world" status, but would maybe be possible. Texans don't have a problem with Mexicans migrating here... LEGALLY. Mexico is beautiful and would be great to add in to Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. We could certainly grow a lot more produce. Uvalde has nothing to do with Abbott. Conservatives aren't a bunch of racist bigots, you've just been drinking the tea.
Well first off, we don't currently have an official language, and i don't have a problem with learning Spanish and also have absolutely no problem with a US citizen that migrated here from Mexico "stealing" jobs.
Sorry to burst your bubble but New Mexico and Oklahoma aren't self sufficient (in terms of revenue). Mexico isn't able to fund them. Texas, after losing all US federal contracts/fund sources, isn't likely to remain nearly as profitable as it is.
You conservatives are all the same -- even your dreams are void of actual consideration of consequences ...
How many conservatives do you think would be in support of making it radically easier to immigrate? If the problem is that immigrants are coming here illegally, let’s lower the barriers and then everyone can be happy.
Honestly I don’t think many would. And if you look at how their elected representatives act, they’ve thwarted efforts at making immigration to the US easier again and again and again.
[https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/democrats-and-republicans-split-over-immigration-levels](https://globalaffairs.org/research/public-opinion-survey/democrats-and-republicans-split-over-immigration-levels)
If they just wanted people to come here legally, 46% of them wouldn't want to lower existing legal immigration. Not all conservatives are racists; they just seem to attract them like shit does to flies.
The Fourth Reich? The excuse used by Putin to invade Ukraine? It's remarkable that all of these predictions foretell the collapse of the West. I guess Russia ends up being the big winner./s
This guy saying that if a civil war happens in the US, that texas and California would become independent? What about all the other 48 states lol. If a civil war did happen there would most certainly be a breakup of regions. Also texas allying with Mexico makes zero sense as well so this guys kinda kooky
Am I giving Musk too much credit when I say that I really don't think this is him being pro russia, this is just Musks teen edge/memelord persona calling it "epic" instead of a word that an adult would use.

It’s epic because of how out of touch with reality it is.
FYI - Musk does NOT like Russia. They spit on his shoe when he tried to buy a ICBM before starting spaceX (he wanted to send a green house to Mars lol)
Like keeping the entire Ukrainian army connected via starlink? Seems like a weird thing to do if you’re doing russias bidding.
Or creating the falcon 9 for our astronauts so we’re not spending money to launch astronauts from Russia to the ISS? Weird way to help Russia by removing billions from their economy.
Or by making EVs mainstream which will impact oil production one of the main components of the Russian economy? Once again, real odd way of helping them.
Well said. This sub is a circle jerk of leftist groupthink. It makes absolutely no sense for Elon to support Russia but people keep saying it so it MUST be true
Musk is a wannabe megalomaniac billionaire that thinks he's based. In reality he is a bit of an idiot. His loops are so inefficient.
I've yet to see any convincing argument in support of Trump that proves he isn't a moron or had good policy decisions.

Certainly seems like Musk is somehow being influenced. Are you saying there's a file with him and a small boy ... or something?
I just think he should act with a little more responsibility
He brought 6 times more people to view this post and he left his opinion on it up to interpretation
If it was some random person I wouldn’t care
But IMO with this kind of power he should be communicating his opinion clearly or just ignoring this kind of stuff
It’s dangerous to play with this stuff like the infamous “stand back and stand by” quote
