Just that there is no need to have any trade agreement in place in order to do so. Because you MUST have some agreement in place starting with the currency...

The ONLY initial agreement needed is the agreement to engage in trade if other agreements can be met during negotiations. You're not very good at this PK which increasingly makes me believe that you're just "troll-ing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you admit that all trading starts with an agreement. Progress of a sort I suppose. Now just try and build on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matter is one of values. Food on tables will not be an issue. We will not be facing starvation now any more than we were before the EU morphed into being. Prostituting a nation for monetory gain is an issue. A very big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
