  • @fu RT is literally state propaganda of Russia. With lots of fake news and half coverage about anything. If you’d ask me to choose 2 news sources to get rid of from the face of the planet, they would be RT and Sputnik. They’re not just propaganda about Russia (which is what TASS and other state media agencies are), they’re simply Russian propaganda about anything.






  • @alyaza seems like this is no longer a fantasy.

    It will be a huge blow to the world if America basically splits apart, with shockwaves going all around the planet.

    I do not think that the states will hold their place on the global rank though. Most of the states economy is aided specially because of the fact that they are a part of the same federation. The fact that the “states” are basically just provinces of the same country and you can travel without internal border checks. Otherwise, in a scenario where states are going to be real countries, companies would also need a presence in each of the said state. And this is not something most will be likely to do, hurting the states economy in the process.

    And this is just the tip of the iceberg!


















  • @Powderhorn these seem only temporary blocks (at least declaratively). And as far as I remember, no state imposed border checks along its entire border. So you could i.e. bypass the blocked border by just changing your route I think.

    Anyway, the fact that we, bulgarians, and by extension also greeks and hungarians had official border checks made things much more dificult in the region. One prime example would be the fact that many Romanians go on holidays in Greece or Bulgaria because the prices and conditions are terrible in our the sea resorts. Hungarians also shop in Romania because of the lower prices. And examples can continue.
