Poorly applied makeup.
I know, it was kinda rhetorical, it's just funny to me that someone was like " yup, you look great boss" and then sent him out.
They interviewed a lady that did his makeup on the radio not too long ago (she's from Quebec so the interview was in French) and let's say she wasn't pretending that he looked good, she did what she could with what she had to work with...

For trade purposes, the EU acts as a single country. You can't make trade agreements with a single EU country.
You say that, but this is a timeline where California is negotiating its own trade agreements to get around the bullshit in OP's picture. Anything could happen.

Taiwan and China are also listed as separate countries.
USA accidentally makes the split official policy.
(Maybe it has been for a time. I recall it used to be tacitly understood but unsaid.)
Taiwan and China are two separate countries.
At this point I think they're just trolling everyone

I wouldn't mind making it real though
Time to make it true?
I consider myself hardcore pro European (Euro-patriotic if you will) but I think one of the reasons we're still standing is how decentralised this arrangement is. Poland seemed lost to propaganda but managed to bounce back. So could Slovakia or even Hungary. Infiltrating the EU is so much harder compared to a single, large nation because of that. It's also a pretty effective tool against imperialism in our own ranks. If you take a look at what other countries are doing it seems to me in comparison we've got a good thing going.
Don’t take it for granted. Im British, I did. Many others did probably too.
I'm German so it's kinda always been at the back of my mind 😅 But it still took me a while to come to terms with the fact that things could in fact become as bad if not worse than they were back then. 2025 has been very sobering in that regard.

I agree, but there's definitely some more integration that can be done. An initially opt-in military organisation would be great because it doesn't really make sense for individual EU countries to do military alone. We should never fight with other countries in the block (and a military organisation would make that impossible), and it doesn't make sense that the EU wouldn't protect other member states.
I guess we might get that for free when we inherit NATO...
and a military organisation would make that impossible
I agree that an EU military would be a great idea but let's say "less likely". We used to say the same about nato and yet here we are.
If the EU organised a proper centralised and integrated army, how would one country attack another one within this alliance?
I guess at some intermediary stages it would look more like NATO does now, with individual armies that are not very tightly integrated with each other, but if it's being integrated into the EU I'm thinking more in terms of an EU central command. Similar to how it would be incredibly difficult for Sweden to declare war on Skåne.
Yes but what use is a flabby confederation that can't manage to speak with a united voice and does little more than distribute cash to the farmers of its increasingly autocratic members?
I'm caricaturing the situation but it's not that far off.
I'm European and happy to be but I also look at European history and don't want us to go too hard.
I believe in building stronger alliances within EU, but making it a country is taking things way too far.
I love being part of the EU, but fuck no we shouldn't band together as a single country.
Let's make the USE a thing!
No. Let's get the EU to slowly move into a true federal model, improving on the good parts that already exist and creating new schemes of mutual approach as we advance. We do not need to become the USE.
For now that can't happen because certainly Hungary and likely Slovakia would veto it.
Creating a federation should be a long and difficult process. The most negotiated, the better.
