It would be an occupied territory without rights, basically Puerto Rico but given the nestle treatment to stripmine it of all resources, so in a word. No
The EU needs to wake up to the fact that its in a stage prepatory to war. They're under attack by a wave of fascists, Russian army on the east, and Politicians and Corporate Syndicates from America and within their own borders.
The entire State of Russia, Elon Musk's Megalomaniasphere, MAGA, Hungary's Fidesz, Germany'd AFD, France's RN. We're essentially in a plot similar to the tom clancy's Sum of all fears book, where a bunch of Fascists are trying to collectively take over the world.
Its a little conspiracy theorist-y, but some are suggesting the International Democracy Union is one angle of this plot.
America's idea of national security is the same thing as American Hegemony.
Under these rules, No one is allowed to pose a threat. even their own allies. that's why the Fascist factions of America are currentley focused on taking Europe and Canada apart, they want subservient puppet states, not Powerful partners and allies. The EU needs to prepare for a future where it is no longer allied to America, this is the multipolar world that Putin talked about ,(although in Putin's plan, Russia is in control of most of Eurasia, Nuking China too if need be, according to lunatics like Dugin/Ilyn)
So that being said, Europe basically has two futures, Federalize and Militarize, preparing to treat both America and Russia as Advesaries if need be, or do nothing, and get picked apart by the Fascists, Mafia goons, and megalomaniac tech bros who are trying to infiltrate every level of government by poisoning the elections with filth. Russia is still the enemy of the free world, But part of America is rearing to join them.
Canada on the other hand, Is looking more and more every day like a future of conflict with an Imperialist America is going to be a reality.
Its not a fight we can win, but we will fight regardless. Everybody dies eventually. I'd rather die fighting american fascists and traitor "canadians" than live on my knees. If was was going to die in a conflict, I would have preferred it be against russian fascists rather than my own friends and neighbors of both my own country and the americans. but its all the same. you fight fascists because you must. If they are truly stupid enough to keep pushing this to the end result, they'll live to severely regret it.
Ww3 already started 3 years ago when russia started shooting at Ukraine.
People just don't believe ww3 is anything other than nukes falling. So global conflict with clear lines drawn * withoutb atomic booms . Many people thibk is just bauiness as usual
id be fine with the IDF, Hamas and Hezbollah all wiping each other out to a man, but I know that one side's got infinitely more firepower in this game...
anyway. its clear to me Israel is just using this wartime emergency powers time... to A - keep Bibi out of jail, obviously, but B - Steal, Destroy, Occupy, and Kill as much as they can while the iron is hot. Im frankly surprised they convinced Hezbollah to a ceasefire and its held as long as it did, because Israel doesn't show any intention of stopping its war state anytime soon.
at this point the media and internet is mostly dominated by republican sympathetic sycophants, its going to be incredibly hard for the democrats to ever win again. they're going to do everything in their power to move the peices to secure the GOP's control indefinetely, so that even once Trump is dead, they'll still win the elections. because guess what, people are fickle, petty, and stupid. and its very easy to use the media, TV Internet or otherwise, to sway opinions.
I am not blind that this is likely just as much Foreign involvement as it is domestic action. Russia is pulling a lot of the puppet strings behind this movement. So much so that I think they even have leverage on not just Trump, but probably Elon Musk too. Elon is small potatoes compared to the wealth of Vladimir Putin, a man who stole from a cartoonishly wealthy in material country for 25 years and put it straight into his pockets.
Representative Democracy is obsolete. We're approaching the stage that technology would allow Direct Democracy.
Representative democracy has been killed by Corporate oligarchic lobbyists and hostile governments waging information warfare on titanic scale. the goose is cooked
what are they supposed to do? the alternative is deliberately choose to start a civil war, and vindicate the opposition's paranoia by giving them a rallying cry.
I fail to see how this would do anything but give the mouth foaming populist , and now imperialist apparentley MAGA crowd , an excuse to bomb the country.
I've found that I have to keep my hands off my body, the stimulation of being touched keeps me alert.
