You honestly think the UK is going to out-race the US and Asia to the bottom of the barrel?

Even if there are good reasons to leave the EU, it took you guys two years to achieve absolutely nothing. This is only the departure deal, let alone the agreement on the future relationship. There is no majority support for any of the alternatives to membership.

So the same Brexit deal has just been put forward with the EU and the UK again claiming different things and all of this is being presented as some sort of change. Terrific. Can the UK please vote to accept the same deal they voted down months ago and fuck off now?

I was going to make the same argument about the Netherlands and our regional cultures but I don't think people who spend little to no time in the Netherlands would take that argument serious.

So, just for the sake of the argument, then what was the Texas nation when it was founded in 1836? Because its founders had no common chararistics except being white, English-speaking and American. And slaveholders for the most part, I guess.

It was meant sarcastic and a slight reference to the last time Texas tried leaving the Union.
To classify Texas as a nation that is different from the US is somewhat laughable considering pretty much its entire Republican government, including all its presidents and fifty-seven of the sixty signers of its declaration of independence were Americans. The majority of who were, in the eyes of the Mexican law, illegal immigrants. Russia could learn from this example.

Why would it? What would it gain? The logic 'we pay more than we get' is barely valid as you could literally continueing seceding richer parts away from poorer parts right down to the micro-level. Looking at you, Catalonia.

Extremely so for anyone involved in the conflict or trying to solve it. They don't teach you this?

Those are mostly secterian (Iraq especially) and ethnical or tribal (Afghanistan). Religion could play a role in an American civil war/insurgency, but it's far more likely to be fought over ideological lines.

An American insurgency would probably look a lot like the French Resistance of the 2nd world war, in the sense that they'll be mostly fighting eachother over ideological differences.
