There certainly will be major clog in that agreement unfortunately. 🫤

Of course they are not calling it a treaty. Yet that is semantics.

At least some people are trying to behave as if they aren't the centre of the universe and don't need anyone else. I hope there is real benefit to this other than 'optics'.

@FreddieUK Washington State, the Seattle area specifically is DNA-level tied to Scandinavia.

@Northwest I didn't know that. Interesting. Some of the more liberal ideas are perhaps more obvious there?

@FreddieUK Washington State used to be a conservative state with a Republican governor, Senators and AG.

Then came the tech industry, and with it all the educated people. We went from Red to extremely blue.
