The idiots left of their own volition. No more handouts and special privileges. Join as any other nation and follow the same fucking rules. You left on a high horse and came crawling back. You could not appreciate your special deal so you are not worthy of getting another one. Just like any other nation now.
Oh but with the new rules they could do that before making their code work that way. The idea is not for the new laws to apply retroactively but for new games.
Yeah when I turned 18 we went through 3 bottles of champagne/sparkling wine before we got to one that was drinkable. Turns out if you store them too long they just go bad.
I know. I was baffled that they actually went for it with such a split vote.
