@behnam_iut @voktorrr Noone says that this state would be part of the EU and noone says that the politics would be progressive. It's quite the conservative state, focused on tradition, very federalised strict immigration. It would be similar to the current Switzerland, just bigger and more impactful.
@voktorrr Franken und generell Nordbayern draußen lassen, die nördlichsten Gebiete von BW draußen lassen. Nur den deutschen Teil der Schweiz eingliedern, und das Elsass nicht vergessen. Dann wäre es wirklich ein krank geiler Staat.
@mnther92@earthcurated@grok I know that Saudi Arabia has some beautiful green mountains, but they make up just a tiny part of that massive country. Absolute majority of the Saudi Landmass is useless desert. @grok What percentage of the Saudi Arabia land area has favourable living conditions?
@mnther92@earthcurated Having 4 seasons is really a blessing. How boring must it be to have sun and heat every single day in an arid desert with barely any plants or vegetation.
@DomonkosLendvay@sergiowct@seatsixtyone@EuropeanSlpr No main line in east-west direction. But south to north it was historically really well connected with trains from Switzerland to the Belgian coast or trains to the Mediterranean.
For cargo it's still really important for the North Sea- Switzerland/Nancy/Metz/Lyon corridor.
@sergiowct@FlorisvB@seatsixtyone@EuropeanSlpr There's one direct Lux - Bruxelles every hour and it doesn't need 4 hours, it's 3 hours 17min. And it will be even shorter in the future when the Arlon - Namur section is fully upgraded when there are trains that skip more stations.
@ClosertoSpace I sometimes see the blue europe regiolis running with diesel only and pantographs down on the Strasbourg Sélestat service or the Mulhouse Belfort service. For the X73500 I understand, if you have to drive the route anyway,why not take some passengers with it.
@rxquejunixr@Imperivivus@CaudilloXIV "if not for islam" like the op comment said. Now north Africans are mostly muslims and their countries are undeveloped and that shows in their behaviour too. Many of them may be nice people, but looking at rape statistics of European countries, they are highly overrepresented.
@rxquejunixr@Imperivivus@CaudilloXIV North Africa was always historically, and culturally way closer tied to Europe than it was to sub Sahara Africa. It's way easier to cross the Mediterranean than the Sahara desert.
@J_Miller175@skib17845@KraZMagazin Überbevölkerung im Sinne von es gibt nicht genug Ressourcen und Nahrung natürlich nicht, aber Überbevölkerung im Sinne von massiven Ökosystem Zerstörungen und Massenaussterben, das ist die Realität.
