Tja, Antid,

Grondwet zonder directe grondrechten van burgers en hun regio's,
anders traden de bewoners toch zo uit...
Ik weet overigens niet hoe het in de Navo geregeld is
voor onvrijwillig bezet gehouden kolonieën.
Was de Falkland-oorlog toen ook een Navo-oorlog? Nee toch.
De volgende wel een EU-oorlog?
