Yes , the UK should join the Federal state of the EU . It took a lot of leverage to break the shackles of the bureaucrats . No thanks, you’re welcome to it .

Trading union - yes , absolutely .

Federal state - one government. No thanks

Listen Billy , most UK residents want a trading relationship with the EU . We want autonomy as most nations do . The Polish people I know are great hard working people and I personally like their work ethic and culture , although they have a rather pessimistic view of life in general. I think that emanates from their previous history , I have nothing but admiration for them . The EU shackles nations via their all encompassing bureaucracy . Here they failed , Federalism is not a good idea . A band of brothers is what the EU should be, a bond without...
We have no chance as independent cells of organism. China, US is too big of a competition

{quote} I’d rather take my chances with both of them . The UK despite all its failings still has substantial leverage with both players . It’s not about competition , the agenda is cooperation based on mutual respect and synergies. The EU have Blanket rules applicable to all nations part of the bloc , limited autonomy to governments to override the centrist view point .
This is changing. Competition changing. EU will be da ifferent player soon.

My girlfriend is Polish. We go to Poland once a year. I am very impressed with how fast the country's economy is growing. I honestly believe Poland will surpass the UK economy in about five to six years.
When I look at the UK, I ask myself, "What the hell am I still doing here?" Compared to even my own country, Romania, where living standards are constantly improving, the UK's are constantly deteriorating. Fifteen years ago, the UK was still good. Now, it is not worth it anymore. And then there's the weather.
Also, I have been hearing a lot of people losing their jobs lately.
Maybe just maybe, the time has come to make a move.

So... raising prices on electricity and gas imported from Canada to U.S. consumers is going to solve the problem of fentanyl coming across the border how exactly? Last I checked, most New England residents weren't involved in drug traffic, transiting from Canada or otherwise.

It is not going to happen, if Canada raises gas and electricity prices, America will just start building their own. Than Canada in trouble as they won't be able to sell that to anyone and there is your billions of dollars lost. Canada needs better advisors to negotiate with Trump. America is #1 economy, and is #1 Military power. You have to negotiate with them, you can't go against them or it is a loss. Negotiation is the best thing to do in these situations, especially for Canada.

Well America having Trump is a good thing. Previous Biden administration destroyed it. The only one who is going to get punched in the face is countries that will have to pay high tariffs. Not America. America is number one economy and number one military force.

What are you talking about? It would be a nightmare if there is a war with China. Shudder to think the cyberwarfare havoc that China could wreak on America. There won't be any "number one economy" anymore!

That exactly is the perspective of the deluded and misinformed segment of society firmly rooted in ignorance, though I hope still possessing desire for things to go well at least for themselves if not for others. While it is noble to have positive desires and hope, by themselves they are not guarantee of any positive achievement/s. Fake news, Legacy Media, Blue Church have succeeded in brainwashing its followers, thankfully their influence is dying rather fast. False ideologies and utopias never achieved anything that vaguely resembles good, but were and still are very successful in murdering millions throughout the globe and for a very log time, now included.

Agree, a dead one, dead like the proverbial Dodo
Although living in the UK I am very pro-European, UK is part of Europe. EU has become a difficult to recognise beast, joke and chimera, all of it and more at that same time. There is more inherent utility in used toilet paper than for the EU with its Brussels bureaucrats in its current form - very sad indeed, decades ago it certainty was a different proposition which have gone very bad indeed.
So there is a problem. EU and the EURO - what a mess!

Totally agree. Had Europe simply maintained the common market and reinged back on political and fiscal integration (and ultimately control), then the UK would still be part of the bloc. It is why people voted to leave, not from dislike of Europe, far from it, but the authoritan socialist tenedencies of Brussels together with the gargantuan waste.

I cannot make my mind, whether the EU and EURO are equally bad or whether one is worse than the other.
For sure they both are disaster.

Thankfully there has been an important news release and hope for a fast approaching spring... is in the air.

There will not be war between America and China. America has great technology and many are at cyberwarfare with anyone. China is not going to do anything. They are always #2, remember that.

The Dumbest Trade War in History
Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for no good reason.
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-t...=hp_opin_pos_0

I didn't read the whole editorial board piece but this tariffs war will lead to stagflation because the economy will fall into a recession

the oligarchs ruling USA will put an end to this tariff bullshit so America may dodge the worst of it cause trump will backdown and claim victory in a couple weeks time
short trump and go long the deepstate

By their fruits you will know them...
Starting wars seems to excite some, including the Wall Street.
It takes a lot of "hard work", lies and bribes to get one successfully started all the time virtue signalling while pocketing huge dividends.

Really America will just start building their own? Do you realize it takes 5-12 years to build and electric generating plant in the US.? MAGA idiots.

That might have applied half a century before, industry have changed and diversified where there are bigger in output but not in seize electricity generating plant and many hundreds if not thousands smaller plants generating electricity, have a look at urban energy developments. The move from coal to gas powered turbines made it possible to make very successfully operating sites close to the recipients of electric energy and heating/cooling, when the end user makes their decision how to structure such a plant and how to use this both types of energy. Transporting electricity is very wasteful and expensive, we still do it a lot, but a change is slowly coming. The heat energy is often wasted if a plant is far from any outlet that can utilise it. Urban energy projects take these two types of energy extremely seriously and are able to project savings in all type of scenarios. Even larger gas powered plants can be constructed relatively fast, especially if there is a local gas supply. The whole situation is not static and developing fast, with all types of different approaches like hydrogen, thorium and possible plasma as a heat source being considered. Within the next few decades the picture will change considerably.
For now nuclear and gas is considerably cleaner that coal and oil, hydro is great, solar and wind not that stable atm, geographically determined.
Near where I live gas powered larger plant was constructed within a year. Currently it takes about two years or there about to construct a much larger gas powered plant, if that proves to be more economical and necessary.
Where possible smaller and local gas powered plants are preferable, that might and will eventually change with new energy sources being developed.
