Has the Time Come to Realize the EU or the DiEM25 Dream?
DiEM25 seeks to create a more democratic Europe. They see the European Union becoming a technocratic superstate ruled by edict. DiEM25 aims instead to make Europe a union of people governed by democratic consent through a policy of decentralisation.
So Instead, why not do as the US Colonies did and write a European Constitution along the Swiss Canton Model?
How are cantons governed?
Switzerland's canton system is a division of the country into administrative regions, similar to US states. Each canton has its own government, legislature, and constitution.
How are cantons governed?
Each canton has a capital city and its own official language.
Cantons manage education, healthcare, social welfare, law enforcement, and direct taxation.
Cantons have unicameral parliaments, with the number of seats varying between 58 and 200.
The Council of States has 46 members, two from each canton and one from each half canton.
The National Council has 200 members, elected by proportional representation in each canton.
History of cantons
Before the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848, each canton was a fully sovereign state with its own borders, army, and currency.
Three cantons—Unterwalden, Basel, and Appenzell—are subdivided into demicantons, or half cantons, which function as full cantons.
Some notable cantons:
Fribourg was the first French-speaking canton to join the Swiss Confederation.
Appenzell is known for its scenery, traditions, and mountain inns.
Glarus is known for its serene mountain lakes.
Schaffhausen is known for its stunning towns and the Rhine.
St Gallen is known for its culture and landscapes.
Thurgau is known for its countryside, history on the river, and lakes.Salvador Dali, "William Tell" (1930)

"If donald trump is able to get a deal that is good for Ukraine and good for the world..."
He isn't trying to do this.
"...that will be a bad deal for Ukraine. If you don't care about Ukraine you might not care. You just want just want this to be over with. Obviously a lot of people on the american right feel that way".
Yes, it will be a bad deal for Ukraine. No, a lot of people on the American right don't feel that they just want this to be over with. They want it over with Putin getting all his demands (Minus FJ).
"What happens down the line when Russia choses to come in for more land".
Of course. This will absolutely happen. It's been the plan all along. Qtard argued that Barack Obama's efforts were ineffective, which is clearly true. Though Qtard's argument that Barack Obama was on Putin's side is completely false. d0n0ld tRump IS on Putin's side. And d0n0ld tRump does wish to make a deal that gives Russia vast swaths of Ukraine and allows Russia to invade again in the future and take more land. This is 100 percent the tRump/Putin plan.

You're right. George Soros needs to get paid for all his "Open Society Institute" Ukrainian "democracy' projects with first dibs on all mineral exploitation rights....
Let's let another 100k Ukrainians die defending them!
