As a European, it seems reasonable to me. I think the UK should let one or two generations pass to assess its true power, influence, and wealth in the world before making any major decisions. Similarly, the EU needs to find its own way, see how far it can go without the UK (and possibly without the tutelage of the USA), and thus determine what concessions it might need to make to the UK in a negotiation and what aspects would be non-negotiable.

Thanks for the explanations, I hope that ESA develops something more updated soon

That’s fine, but is that so essential right now that it can be compared to going from a horse-drawn carriage to a car? I mean, do you think there won’t be room for disposable launchers anymore?

Thanks for answering

Sorry for my ignorance, but what would the Model T be here? And why does it make this rocket obsolete? I don’t know much more about the subject than I see in the press.

Yes, I suppose you are right, the most basic thing has not failed but certain fundamental and important institutions seem to be in it, in any case one can have a horrible and dystopian but functional totalitarian state, without being failed, I don’t know if I explain my point correctly .

this is also for @9point6@lemmy.world, I don’t know how to answer both of you at the same time, but what I say is valid for both of us.

Yes well, I was trying to be a little sarcastic with the headline, but looking at people’s votes I think I have failed miserably.

Oh, I thought you were an American worried about how you look outside and I was trying to calm you down. I respect your perspective of course, but it seems to me that a failed state is a bit exaggerated for this, Somalia or Yemen are still a little worse than the USA in the comparison. Authoritarian, close to breaking up as a nation, things like that I think are closer to reality, that is my vision also from the outside, I could be wrong and you may be closer to reality.

No, from Europe I tell you, we see you as less democratic than you used to and with many problems that can escalate and screw you up (we are not celebrating here either), but you are still far from being a failed state, there are still police more or less functional, you can still call the fire department if your house catches fire, there is still a clear institutional hierarchy, more authoritarian but clear.

Yes, the speed at which you are flushing democracy down the toilet, when, I don’t know maybe 20 years ago, you were the example to follow in many aspects, it is surprising for everyone.

Like now? The president has always been able to assassinate you, officially, the difference is that before he would have gone to jail and now he won’t.

Yeah, I guess you could be right.

Yes, surely, but there is an underlying problem for this entire system, there is no economically viable alternative to the use of data for advertising sales, without that all those websites cease to be profitable.I don’t think this is good for anyone.

facebook and instagram? I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but in Spain right now practically all newspapers/digital media have copied that model and you either accept cookies or pay

Well, I don’t have exactly the same opinion, another day we can discuss things like Pfizergate or why a Ukrainian is worth more to this commission than a Palestinian. But it is clear that it is much better that whatever the Kremlin considers acceptable, there is no debate on that

It sounds interesting but unfortunately I can’t read it because of the paywall.

The enemies of Europe do not like the new leaders of Europe, I suppose we have not chosen so badly in the elections the other day

people who want a united europe, uniting their forums, in my opinion is a good idea

I hope that if that happens it will be the kick in the ass we need to start setting up our own racket.

P.S. I don’t like military gear, but yours are better than the alternative
