@terryaki @dyckron The EU is a community of laws. We're bound by a legal order. Who can and cannot join is spelt out clearly in our 🇪🇺 Treaties. tldr: only "European states" can join. But that's not what's interesting to me. I'm fascinated why EU citizens would *want* that. What is it about our Union that's so casually sure, come on in for countries on other continents (tho not for others on our own--in general, not about you)?
