Yes, how is this relevant? The point is they were comparing the length of time to cross a single American state to the time to cross an entire country, which are two different things. Driving through Texas isn’t equivalent to driving through Germany, it’s equivalent to driving through Bavaria.
It is because most of the EU participates in an agreement without hard borders and is united by a larger entity that collects taxes and holds elections in its states/countries.
The degree of federalism is higher in the USA than Europeans think it is. After all, each American state has at least one army.
Ah, in that case, no, you’re still wrong and we are not anything like the EU, not really. The of autonomy and sovereignty each member of the EU has is vastly different, and mostly vastly greater, than that of each of the individual states of America. Again, the correct equivalence isn’t America = EU, it’s America = Germany and Texas = Bavaria. Hope that helps.

The longest I can get for Bavaria is five hours.
Ok, edited it.

Better now?
Yeah nah
Okay, so tell me then which of these you believe:
That the EU as a whole should only have one singular seat in the UN, NATO, and other similar organizations,
Or that every American state should have their own seat in the UN, NATO, and others?
I’m here to troll not to problem solve. Wrong time wrong place. Also by your logic Russia would bring their states too. And China. Big party.
Btw what does NATO and UN do anyways? Write strong worded letters, right. It’s like a book club for diplomats.
