About your edit, that’s why I added the disclaimer on my first comment lol. I fully knew it would degenerate in a biggest dick contest and wanted to avoid being part of it.
Yes, how is this relevant? The point is they were comparing the length of time to cross a single American state to the time to cross an entire country, which are two different things. Driving through Texas isn’t equivalent to driving through Germany, it’s equivalent to driving through Bavaria.
It is because most of the EU participates in an agreement without hard borders and is united by a larger entity that collects taxes and holds elections in its states/countries.
The degree of federalism is higher in the USA than Europeans think it is. After all, each American state has at least one army.
Ah, in that case, no, you’re still wrong and we are not anything like the EU, not really. The of autonomy and sovereignty each member of the EU has is vastly different, and mostly vastly greater, than that of each of the individual states of America. Again, the correct equivalence isn’t America = EU, it’s America = Germany and Texas = Bavaria. Hope that helps.
Yes, those are countries, not single states within a country. Different things.

I sincerely wish I had your wisdom and foresight. I just can’t imagine caring the way these people seem to care.
You are united states tho.
That’s not correct at all.

Ok, edited it.

Better now?
Yeah nah
Okay, so tell me then which of these you believe:
That the EU as a whole should only have one singular seat in the UN, NATO, and other similar organizations,
Or that every American state should have their own seat in the UN, NATO, and others?
I’m here to troll not to problem solve. Wrong time wrong place. Also by your logic Russia would bring their states too. And China. Big party.
Btw what does NATO and UN do anyways? Write strong worded letters, right. It’s like a book club for diplomats.
The longest I can get for Bavaria is five hours.
Well done texans 👏 the guys with rulers drew your box on the map the biggest
french guiana is part of france, and the eu.
So is Réunion. Shall we count the time to take a boat to the island or just a flight?
New York to Hawaii can be a 13 hour flight depending on the Island you wanna land on. Alaska to Miami is similar.
It is a fair comparison, especially within the EU.
You guys have funny gatekeeping. Oh well, to each his own, I guess
You guys get to make fun of the imperial system, and healthcare, and fahrenheit, and gun crime. Let us have one thing.
Fair enough
