minus-squareDanquebec@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5·16 days agoDo states having a right to exist means people can’t democratically choose to merge their country with another?
minus-squareWaterpumpee@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 days agoLike crimea “voted” to be part of russia? There are better ways than merging i.e. making one cease to exist because those votes can never be unanimous. See EU. You just contract to use the same rule set, currency etc and are factually merged.
