aha. now the so-called EU has become the aforementioned shithole through various self-made circumstances. among other things, millions of illegals have overrun the effeminate EU and are now colonizing it. no matter... the search for alternatives has already begun anyway, don't worry.

I dont want to turn this into political but in regard to the "colonizing" we all know who started the colonization. And as far as i know the immigrats need a valid reason to migrate in EU and if the reason is war, we all know who is doing!
