Let's face it when it comes to negotiations it will likely go like this
EU *fully prepared*: Come up with something meaningful we can go with.
Boris lot: We want *insert something totally unreasonable even as a starting point.*
EU: We can't do that how about *insert reasonable EU starting point here.*
Boris: How dare you insult us. We're British which means we're better than you. Bow to us.
EU: WTF?
Boris group: LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY! TWO WORLD WARS ONE WORLD CUP! *hums WW2 movie themes*
EU: We'll come back later.
Boris: Ha look at those surrender monkeys.
Sun/Mail/Express: EU cowards walk out of negotiations as an insult to Boris you the British people!
Brexiteers: Fuck yeah Boris. Show those EU Bureaucrats whose boss!
Pensioner Brexiteers: NHS might not be able to get my meds, but at least I don't have to be nice to the Pole anymore!
Rest of us: HELP!
Lol very funny, is that original or a copy/paste? If original it's the best post of 2019 and so true, you eurohonies are all coming around to my way of thinking.
By "rest of us" you of course meant the one or two remainers in the UK left who just so happen to post here as the UK majority get their Brexmas wish come true in the New Year...
Merry Brexmas to you too Nigel, I hope you left a carrot out for Santa tonight rather than a bottle of Gordons, or even worse EU Prosecco. We don't want Dasher, Dancer, Prancer et al pissed tonight now do we?

Why not, it doesn't cost the EU much to have a go at it. The EU isn't very picky, they'll take any small achievement out of it and if nothing can be done, we have seen in TTI that the EU can just walk away from the table and never look back. Think the US is more butthurt about that than we are... everytime I mention it they're like "uhh, you're protectionist!"
I'm like "...says the nation that starts trade wars with most of the planet..."

You're right. The EU has said they woulud begin negotiations like that half a year ago. I wasn't making shit up, if anyone thought that. That is a legit official statement on how those negotiations are about to go down.

They can, however, apply for re-admission (and lose the billions of Euros in exceptions and rebates that they wouldn't normally have got). Oh, and join Schengen and the Euro, of course.
To borrow a turn of phrase from the currently-banned dribbles: tick tock, counting down the days until they come grovelling back to Brussels begging to be let back in.
also begs the question which countries are outside of EU and not affected from it.
23 countries outside of EU, but 4 are EFTA and closely with EU. additional Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican are tiny states surrounded by EU and even use EURO.
leaves those 15: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia (yes, a state outside of USA !), Kazakhstan, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine and Belarus.
some of them applied for EU membership already, others are more or less obedient (because part of former soviet union) satellites of Russia.
Not gonna happen anytime soon. If anything I've learned about the British Bulldog by now it's that its stubbornness far, far outweighs its intelligence. I wouldn't even be surprised if Remainers swing to an anti-EU stance after the propaganda wave of how the EU is being mean hits the streets. Considering that even many Remainers don't understand the EU, that is...

Kazakhstan is European only by the farthest stretch of the imagination. Same for Azerbaijan. Just because they're part of UEFA doesn't make them European.

Even the remainer camp in the UK have never been all that sold on anything more involved than the deal they already had.
If accepting things such as Schengen and the Euro is on the table as a requirement to re-join, it wouldn't surprise me even a little bit if the Brits are out permanently after this.
i used the german list here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_...cht-EU-Staaten
for Kaz it is like Turkey, where a tiny bit of area is in europe, so the whole country is counted in.
otherwise everything north of Iran is europe, because the natural border is set in Ural, which is situated even more east than Caucaus region with Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan.
by this definition europe is graced with Kalmykia too, now the only main buddhist territory in europe.
