Congratulations, Sergey!

Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und den Kommentar! Meines Wissens nach klappt das bei X in der Praxis noch nicht (Opfer berichten sie müssen einzeln vorgehen). Das ihnen das Recht was anderes verspricht, macht es ja umso eklatanter! X scheint da momentan eine rechtsfreie Zone zu sein unter dem Schutz der USA

Yes, that is what reading the Epstein emails has taught me 😉

I guess we are part of the mirror community of global nerds that gets together by coach to play board games.

This will be a funny anecdote should we ever meet in real life.

It’s funny and astonishing how small the world is

*How* are you everywhere across bluesky? You are someone who I follow for commentary and because of your excellent works on China. How are you doing all that and then becoming invested in the adventure‘s of my buddy’s dog? How did you even find this?

What can you offer them that is greater than the slam-dunk you are handing their Euro-sceptic opposition for the next election?

Not even mentioning the EU institutional interest in making exiting a one-way scorched-earth street, to discourage others

I don’t see a bargaining chip big enough

The way it is going, the UK would be a net beneficiary of EU payments today because it put an axe to its own economy. Try selling that idea to an ascendant Poland, that after you rejoin they should cross-finance the damage of your Brexit decision. They‘d rather just stall the membership process

My point it is it is not happening in 20 years either. It is a moot internal debate in British politics that is detached from the reality that the rest of the world has moved on. You still primarily frame it primarily through an internal-politics lense in your thread not a foreign policy request

I don’t think people in the UK appreciate how Brexit changed the European Union from an open-door growing project to a more weary one in which many countries would adopt a very transactional view of any request to rejoin. And I don’t think the UK would have a lot to offer now, let alone in 20 ys.

Sure, I read through the thread. I don’t think the UK will become more attractive as a partner in the next 20 years.

The lighting, grain, angles and everything just scream CGI at me
