It didn't and it pays the consequences of its stubborn and irrational and barely democratic choice.
it is not the EUs problem when the UK doesn't accept the compromise to have the whole of Ireland be part of the free trade zone and only have custom controls between Ifreland and the british isle.
It should be common sense hat exempting Ireland AND having no custom controls between Ireland and the british isle is inacceptable

Also I think that Greece should veto everything untill the parthenon marbles are returned. theft should not be tolerated, let alone encouraged. Thieves must be held accountable. Same goes for gilbrartar and also Spain should represnet Argentina and claim the malvides too. It's open season for thieves.

Why would the EU do that? Break its own rules I mean. That's not a problem for the EU if the catholics and protestants want to kill eachother. The EU law will be applied throughout the member states and no exception or special treatment will be given. The UK will have to deal with it. It chose violence for northern ireland

An honestly good solution would be for both the EU and the UK to just exempt the Irish land border from any customs regime on both sides. Of course, the EU continues to block such common sense solutions as its goal is not to reach a common sense solution and instead is only to act in bad faith and to be puniative.
Thus why no deal is the best realistic deal possible. A good faith deal cannot be reached with a bad faith actor such as the EU.

Not surprising ... admitting that it would have been justified to resist the german government on moral grounds (i.e. because "exterminating minorities is bad") would have forced him to admit that there actually are cases in which loyality to your principles/morals is more important than loyality to your nation

It’s telling that Kids main argument with Hitler is in military strategy ... not with the hatred of those who are different, eugenics, offensive warfare, police state, or fascism.
Hes implying that if Hitler had carried out WWII successfully that would have gotten Kids support in the hypothetical being discussed.

No. Hitler had plans for world domination from the beginning. Just because it looked like he was successful, his plans were disastrous. His big mistake wasn't invading Russia. They were going to invade you. But Hitler made your military strong. His mistake was allowing his ally Japan attack America, who was not going to join the war.
(AFAIK the attack on Pearl Harbor was so secretly planned that it came as a surprise to the german high command as well)
I am sure that Hitler would also have preferred if the Japanese had attacked russia instead (and forced it into a 2 fronts war between Japanese attacks in the east and german attacks in the west)Last edited by Proteus_MST; December 21, 2018, 08:12.

At the beginning Hitlers strategy actually resulted in lots of successes ...
he ended the occupation of the Ruhr valley, he managed the unification with Austria and the annexation of half of Czechoslowakia.
All things that were good for germany as a nation (although bad for Czechoslowakia) ...
even the war against france and poland can be said to have been good for the nation of germany at that time (as they were successful and resulted in gains of lots of land and infrastructure)
Things only started to get bad when germany attacked the USSR (but also only later during the campaign ... during the beginning it looked like the Blitzkrieg against russia may be as successful as the war against france).
So I totally disagree with you ... for someone living not in our time (where we have the benefit of hindsight), but at the time of the 3rd Reich, the first years of the Hitler regime may actually have looked great ... it may have looked like Hitler would succeed in making germany great again
