Too much compromise in policy would have to be achieved in order for it to work, and such compromises would make for a sub-par system.

2018-10-30 01:19:44 UTC  

"pre League of Nations climate" Um, so WWI or WWII?

2018-10-30 01:20:07 UTC  

Before the Great War.

2018-10-30 01:20:21 UTC  

Meaning lots of wars

2018-10-30 01:20:37 UTC  

The post WWII world has been the most conflict free in history

2018-10-30 01:21:00 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-30 01:21:53 UTC  

The current system the West is in was put in place in fear of Soviet aggression.

2018-10-30 01:22:38 UTC  

The United States funded the current world order to ensure peace and stability and to limit Soviet expansion.

2018-10-30 01:22:41 UTC  

Not initially

2018-10-30 01:22:53 UTC  

No, early on it was to help with reconstruction.

2018-10-30 01:23:14 UTC  

Exactly. And to avoid another German War.

2018-10-30 01:23:44 UTC  

Or perhaps more accurately, European War

2018-10-30 01:23:52 UTC  

I wasn't talking about a global government, I was talking about a nation-equivalent

2018-10-30 01:24:04 UTC  

The principles are the important part, not the size of the society

2018-10-30 01:24:51 UTC  

Once the EU falls when an inevitable recession hits the United States should return to a policy of isolationism and concern ourselves with North and South American politics.

2018-10-30 01:25:56 UTC  

We can lend-lease to former EU ally states but we shouldn't become belligerents in foreign wars unless there is a global threat again like the Nazis or Soviets.

2018-10-30 01:26:43 UTC  

I would also cut ties with China and watch as their entire economy falls apart while moving industry back home and to other American nations.

2018-10-30 01:27:47 UTC  

Exports to the US alone make up approximately 12% of their GDP.

2018-10-30 01:28:11 UTC  

And in total exports make up approximately 40% of their GDP.

2018-10-30 01:28:24 UTC  

Tbh I wouldn't mind the commonwealth becoming a proper trading bloc, as a leaf

2018-10-30 01:28:30 UTC  

I agree

2018-10-30 01:28:43 UTC  

Rescue the UK from Europe

2018-10-30 01:28:52 UTC  

The entire anglosphere would benefit from increased solidarity.

2018-10-30 01:51:04 UTC  

If anything the Commonwealth is slipping more apart.

2018-10-30 01:51:29 UTC  

When QEII passes, Australia and probably Canada will take the opportunity to become republics

2018-10-30 01:52:00 UTC  

Australia is just waiting for the grand ol' dame to pass since they don't want to do it to her.

2018-10-30 01:52:06 UTC  

Charles on the other hand...

2018-10-30 01:53:03 UTC  

Are...are Canada and Australia not already republics?

2018-10-30 01:53:25 UTC  

No. They still look to the British Crown as their head of state

2018-10-30 01:53:57 UTC  

They don't have an elected head of state, just a prime minister just like Britain.

2018-10-30 01:54:12 UTC  

When the PM of Canada, Australia, or NZ visit, they get only 19 guns

2018-10-30 01:59:55 UTC  

Does that preclude them from being republics?

2018-10-30 02:00:15 UTC  

I guess technically, yeah.

2018-10-30 02:13:32 UTC  

I think Canada and Australia should become their own sovereign entities, but that the commonwealth should ultimately stick together

2018-10-30 02:14:43 UTC  

granted I also want the UK to go back to its old values and stop being a fucked up proto-Orwellian shithole, and I want Canadians to have some semblance of national pride. I know my wants are out there

2018-10-30 02:25:39 UTC  

I demand increased royal authority over the Commonwealth.

2018-10-30 02:25:49 UTC  

And the reintegration of released colonies.

2018-10-30 02:40:36 UTC  

what does "go back to its old values" mean, when talking about the UK?
slave trade and aggressive colonisation with the occasional genocide? isolationism? weird huge dresses? inbreeding? the UK has a long and varied history and its norms have changed throughout

2018-10-30 02:42:56 UTC  

lol

2018-10-30 02:43:54 UTC  

pls say you don't mean the dresses, those were stupid

2018-10-30 03:01:07 UTC  

Oh, please. Britain is, to the best of my knowledge, almost singlehandedly responsible for bringing the contemporary slave trade to an end. They stopped first and put pressure on other nations to do the same. They are the reason slavery is extinct in the Western world, and the reason the East tries to hide it.
