Consider this: two brothers grow together, they share same interest and even follow similar interests.
The metaphor here is the Iberian Peninsula, broken down because of recent past event that lead to the separation of Spain and Portugal.
Consider all the benefits of both joining the same country.
What would it be its name? Where would its capital be? Language? Monarchy or Republic?
Economically they will get so many benefits: lower taxes, bigger market to sell products, more employment and finally but not las: more power within the European Union.
>recent past event We've been separate countries for almost a millennia, what the fuck are you talking about.
>Consider all the benefits of both joining the same country. There are none. All unions between two nations where one is significantly more powerful than the other end up as the more powerful assimilating the other.

Not interested untill the Portugese stop using us as scapegoat for everything for at least 10 years so we can be sure is not an act.
Truth be told i consider them bros, but they used the " spain is going to invade us" meme until yesterday.
John Walker
as much as you guys helped us out with South American silver back when you took over, what everyone seems to think is that Castilla is a bully who fucks everyone else over so we'd be even more fucked to join spain as we're even more crippled than Galiza and Catalonia.
Lucas Ward
Galicia and catalonia.
Give everything to some regions, give them MORE than the rest, get shitted over.
we don't need more goons shitting on us, as i said, 10 years quarantine needed.

fuck off moor.
Spaniards will never accept moortuguese shitskins as brothers.
It was never incorporated into the kingdom of Spain retard, hence why its called "Iberian Union"

Just look at the noble titles of the Habsburgs from Phillip II, there you have a proof.
Alexander Parker
Proof of what, exactly? That both Spain and Portugal had the same king for 60 years? And?
Nolan Rodriguez
Three kings exactly: Phillip II, Phillip III and Phillip III. Kings of the whole Hispania. If you don't consider Portugal as a part of Spain at that time, then you shouldn't also consider Aragon nor Naples, Sicily...

Sephardic union
You know.. because both are jew owned countries.
Jaxon Cruz
It wasn't part of Spain much like Scotland isn't and never was part of England (and vice-versa). It was a short-lived union between two crowns that collapsed the moment the dominant one started crumbling. Those 60 years show perfectly how a union between our two countries would work, or how it would never work.
Yuo can change the flag, but the id is the same, shill. If close culture and language is so important (and our cultures and languages are very different, fyi) why the US and Canada not one? And Belgium and France? And the whole of south America?
Jeremiah Green
no
Nicholas Brooks
Yes, its mutt pastime this nigger calling.
Ryan Jackson
Portugal is not the same as spain, do you think portuguese look like me?
Fine but you are still most likely a marrano descendant. Try tracing your surnames and you'll see
John Ramirez
Annexing portugal would be annexing 11 million brown shitskin jews
Christian Reed
Wht not open borders with niggeroccans if we wanted union with sephardtugal.
Owen Campbell
How dumb, why would you want to downgrade Portugal by making it part of the shitstorm that is Spain? Don't you watch TV? Portugal is like the place to vacation and smoke weed and Spain is falling the fuck apart.
Dominic Cook
>Portugal is like the place to vacation and smoke weed and Spain is falling the fuck apart. Portuguese are monkeys.
Zachary Thomas
>a marrano descendant. >no jwish ancestry by dna
Makes sense (map) prtugal and spain genetically cluster on the same spot
