I joined the UK territory army back in 2009, it was lot easier then. Just have a valid visa, spend nothing less than 4 years and be from a common wealth country. I am sure they have changed the requirements now. Lots of Nigerians took advantage of it so also where Ugandan and Kenya.

How does this comment relate to the topic

So, EU countries with diff criterium and stats are automatically not functioning countries

Korea is among the top5 here, i guess that is also not a functioning country


Sometimes, its better to just read, scroll and move past the thread than making fallacious comments like this

Most of us are too smart to see every foreign news as a medium to downtalk our own country, especially on unrelated topics
The bold word is wrong...Criterium is just a number of laps of a bicycle... criteria is what you wanted to say and not even the singular of it which is criterion...Criteria is fit perfectly in the picture you were trying to paint

Great job.

America with its unending wars, will continuously need foot soldiers as collateral damage with an offer of a better life, but i wont risk my life just because i want to be a US citizen.

Biden wasn't giving out citizenship willy-nilly.

You earn citizenship or you are born in country.

By the way, Trump cannot do anything about an American born in US.

All bluster, no bite.
