Brexit

[craigdbfan]

Say what you want about Russia or Putin but Russia always comes first in his agenda. Now the UK (England really) is going in that direction and soon the US will be able to shred up NAFTA, leave NATO and create better global security groups with fair and even contributions.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The UK leaves the EU, Scotland and Northern Ireland leave the UK.

 

[Thundercrack85]

What does this mean for the resettlement programs the EU had been spearheading for the refugees?

You ain't gotta go home, but you gotta get the hell out of here.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Wonder what her highness the Queen thinks of this. Was she pro-Brexit?

If you think the US is going to cede global superiority to even our allies you're naive. We aren't going to be close to equal with anyone.

let me lay a little real world politik on you.

1.The entire global economy is based on one thing. Confidence. Confidence that our military can protect our capitalist's interests. Investors will not invest in something they can't be assured of at least a modicum of security.

2. We have interests all over the world. Thanks to globalization we have multi-national corporations that depend on contracts and agreements.

3. Alliances change. In democracies leaders are elected constantly. Case in point is what you are suggesting. A leader who wants to shred trade agreements and institute nationalist, protectionist policies. Or at least that's what he's selling to get votes. He has the special mix of ego and ignorance that a lot of people find disturbing. He speaks in absolutes about things he knows nothing about. I think he's just parroting what some aide told him or what he read or heard on right wing outlets because he knows that's what the base wants to hear.

4. defense is a huge part of our economy.

Now do you see why we will not do as you suggest?

The British are frantically Googling what the E.U. is, hours after voting to leave it

No, it's not an Onion article.

Instead of all the doom and gloom pandering going on here this will prove to be a rebirth for the great country of England!

I love how everything the next day is showing these people didn't even know what they were doing, and some are celebrating this ignorance.

So racism, sexism, have no thought about preserving the planet, xenophobia, and probably don't use the internet.

They wear it like a badge of honor

One of my British friends on FB took a pic of their celebratory dinner (dish of lasagne with "vote exit" on it) and I replied "most expensive dinner ever"

She was like "Why?"

I told her that it probably cost a trillion dollars and several tens of thousands of jobs and she was like ????

She is not allowed to make a political point for one side or the other.

 

[Legendver2]

Is this one of those instances where an entire population receives the Darwin awards?

 

[Sawyer]

She is not allowed to make a political point for one side or the other.

Then what is even the point of her f***ing existence, to be honest?

 

[craigdbfan]

Ah, you don't know what the UK is. This totally makes sense.

I'm specifically saying England because the U.K will disband after this. Get out of here. I've talked plenty about Scotland and Ireland gaining full autonomy and sovereignty as well.

Scotland and Ireland voted to "Remain" which is why I'm not really including them in this thus me singling England out for this massive victory for nationalist everywhere.

It's not a matter of "if" but rather of how quickly they'll decide to split. Which will absolutely happen.

None.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Anyone here Trump talk about this? He clearly didn't want to talk about it, and said some really stupid and wrong things once he was basically forced to talk about. Saying the pound going down is great for business. Craig is probably proud.

You do realise who lord ashcroft is and why this is just a lot of made up crap?

You do not seem to understand how important a country like Scotland is for England right now. The resources. There is a reason England is freaking out about the possibility of the end of the UK.

I haven't talked to my British ex in over two years but this news sorta makes me want to check in with her and make sure she's okay.

There will hopefully be a second vote soon but the damage is done for the most part.

I understand just fine. The U.K will disband and England will be fine.

There will still be an economic support system/relationship in place always. All this end of the world talk is meaningless and unfounded.
