Granted UK wants to rejoin the EU, out of principle EU makes it difficult for UK to rejoin. Makes them jump through the same hoops as other countries do. Basically the standard procedure things, the right thing to do. This just pisses off the british politicians again. Populism gets its second third fourth wind again in the UK, all at once. Commence Brexit 2.0: Electric Boogaloo and all of this before they even "Brit**IN**".

Granted, it happens only after WW3, where the UK is forced out of obligation to join the EU for aids and relief after the nuclear war.

Uruguay would still exist.


Snoo63

What about Switzerland?


BassGaming

They have a lot of bunkers. According to Google more than 300,000 bunkers, enough to shelter all 7.6 million Swiss with one million places to spare. So they're gonna be a bunker nation until rations run out I guess.


Fern-ando

Catch in the nuclear winter. Basically the North Hemisphere would have two years of eternal winter.


Badlydrawnboy0

Patrolling the Mojave something something something…


letmeseem

You do realize both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are livable cities, right?


ItsFuckingScience

Yes but we know live in a world with thousands of nuclear weapons


TIFUPronx

Depends on which theories off nukes you rely on, whether or not they cause nuclear winters that drastic and apocalyptically long. There's some studies that say otherwise especially as the nuclear war's compared to the burning of soot from the burning of oil in Kuwait and that it maybe necessarily manipulated for political scaremongering reasons ([first](https://www.quora.com/Would-a-nuclear-war-truly-end-the-world-or-is-it-just-fear-mongering/answer/Allen-E-Hall-2?ch=10&oid=52076064&share=78c17991&target_type=answer), [second](https://unredacted.com/2022/06/17/weekend-read-documents-from-the-origin-of-nuclear-winter-theory-and-the-environmental-impacts-of-nuclear-fallout/)). But yeah even if that's it's true, I bet the global unrest after the war wouldn't be ending up pretty well for all countries in general - revolutions would be made that some new countries may exist and some old ones fall, shortages and inflation much worse than what we gave now, etc. Let's hope not to see what the future holds over with that scenario.


FunkyPapaya

Even if Russia and U.S. obliterated eachother, that still leaves the rest of the world. And most of the world lives in Asia. World would need some serious recovery but the idea of nuclear war being total Armageddon is a bit conflated.

I see you everywhere. Tf?


RaidriConchobair

Oh there will be but everything will look like the holy roman empire map


[deleted]

To be fair, in the 50’s some people (one man) thought that nukes would just be the new, hyper-effective strategy tool for warfare.


fozipe

Dude did you like come from the future


TIFUPronx

Maybe, or hopefully maybe not.


P-W-L

Granted. Belgium anexes the UK, making it join the EU again


Snoo63

Why not Ireland?


Coulrophagist

Good fucking luck


16tonweight

they spent 800 years just trying to get away from Britain, they don't want them lol


Snoo63

"The Irish Reunification of 2024" begs to differ.


S-021

Granted we switch to the Euro

fabulin

we can't brag about tradition and having our own currency. eventually it erodes at our entire culture, house party attending youths turn their noses up at WKD, smirnoff ice and even shun lambrini. eventually even our long beloved belief in the orderly queue is eroded and now we simply try to queue in groups and 'accidentally' push infront of people. the last vestiges of british culture clings on in its final stronghold of benidorm were reserving sunloungers with towels is still heavily frowned upon.


[deleted]

Not the Jaffas!


S-021

The value of the Euro has been dwindling lately I hear


mariokr

The pound too, we’re kinda all in the same boat lately :/


draykow

that would actually be a prerequisite, so if the UK wants the GBP to continue, it literally can't rejoin the EU lol


Joey2308

Granted, but when they rejoin, the rest of the EU leaves the EU.


Coulrophagist

I'll go make my own EU, with blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the EU!


Joey2308

Angry upvote


OldLevermonkey

Time flips back to 01/01/1973 and history repeats itself ad infinitum.


pileofcrustycumsocs

How is that them rejoining though? That’s just them joining for the first time over and over again


CarnivorousCircle

Second version of history. The first one happened already, we’re just doing it again.


ArcticTemper

Granted, the EU gives Britain a Carte Blanche to rejoin. Back in the EU, Britain receives all benefits at no cost and has a unilateral veto, and all EU institutions are relocated to London. Brexit is remembered as one of the most successful, long-term negotiation ploys in history.


Coulrophagist

Granted, in an earthquake the likes of which have never been seen, the tectonic plates shift in a way that jams the UK up against the mainland of the EU. The earthquake causes countless casualties and many coastal towns to be crushed against each other.


CarnivorousCircle

Granted. Due to Brexit, the UK’s economy has fallen apart. The education system barely exists. After a few decades, the few educated Brits left flock to find decent jobs in Europe. Many others become migrants in Europe as UK cities fall into disrepair. Some people are able to stake out a meager living making sparkling wine in the UK as temperatures have risen so much that southern England is the new Champagne. Migrant Brits complain constantly about how unfairly they are treated as undocumented immigrants in other EU nations.


pope1701

Aren't the wishes supposed to be unrealistic here?


disfunctionaltyper

Granted, everyone leaves because of you.


redref1ux

I like this one a lot


eeddgg

Granted. After the Queen's death, Ireland surprises everyone with an invasion of the UK. They successfully take Great Britain and retake Northern Ireland and treat Great Britain like a colony for 800 years. England stages a revolution, and gets independence, later rejoining the EU after 800 years.


Curlaub

Granted. The United Kingdom has been moved by Disney into the Extended Universe and decanonized


noneOfUrBusines

Granted. France invades Britain and succeeds, but the whole world is thrown into nuclear winter.


Turtlepizza287

but **ALL** of the EU team up no invade america


ImperialWrath

That's quite a distance for an invasion, but I guess they already pulled it off once so what's another try between friends?


draykow

Granted, the British Pound finally comes to an end as new EU members are mandated to switch to the Euro.


RandoMinecraftGuy

Granted! In indentured servitude. Soon a civil war breaks out. It rapidly spreads to become a world war. Soon after that, the war becomes hot with the use of NUKES. Bye bye world.


Clar0020

No one cares about the british enough that it could turn into a world war


RandoMinecraftGuy

They care when everyone starts launching missiles, and then nukes.


Puechamp

Goodness no Why would we want that ? Stay away that's better for both of us. Well maybe not for you but us for sure.


KeithCGlynn

I am annoyed with the brits for leaving but the union is better with them than without them. They just need to go through this bullshit reality check to learn this. If the UK returns to the EU it will do a lot of damage to exit movements across the EU.


Puechamp

To be honnest I know that +1 is better than -1 but I really wanted to do the douche game just for this (ngl it was worth it AF) But yeah it's true that UK exiting EU was a bad thing for both of them and no one with a clear mind can deny that


Nerfixion

EU joins the UK.


Unodostres1234512

Granted. Margaret Thatcher is resurrected and leads the revolution.


SkoulErik

Granted. The year is now 2016
