If i were Britain, I wouldn't feel sound taking a Trump comment to the bank

@JustTom , I thought you were being sarcastic.

They had a vote, the vote came out leave, now they need new trade deals and not a pseudo-exit

No, I'm serious there. The EU is causing more trouble than they're worth. If this is the direction everything is taking, we really should back out entirely and let them burn for a couple years before we swoop in and rescue them again. Just like WW1. And WW2.

Trump offered them a deal if they actually did it, and May decided to continue to undermine the public

To my knowledge, @Beemann , there is no offer to see. The US hasn't offered anything to UK.

EU is likely to fuck up the entire internet in January.

Iirc it was conditional on them actually leaving

Already fucked up a dozen countries with unlimited illegal migrants.

And they still haven't

@JustTom , European wars pull in the US.

Now wants to fuck up what tiny amount of military power they have left.

Japan pulled in the US

@Beemann , because Ireland

Not just because Ireland, because the ruling class likes the EU

@DrYuriMom You're right. And we will be pulled in again. But let them have their war for a bit first, it'll give them time to kill all of the people in charge who're causing the trouble they're in now, wipe out the insane lefties who're ruining their countries, wipe out the insane rightwingers who would push too far the other way, kill off or drive out most of the financial migrants that've invaded their countries for the last few years, and bring them back into a situation where they can stand on their own feet again and start moving forward towards a brighter future.

THEN we move in and help them end the war, and enjoy the great boom of post-war economy.

And where does Russia and China fit into all this?

ayyyyyyyy

This isn't an experiment where we can control for all the variables.

Here's the thing- the UK holds all the cards here. The EU isn't going to cut them out of trade, they're still going to be dependent on the UK. Instead of leveraging this and getting what they want, May and co have attempted to capitulate as much as possible at every turn

Because they don't want to leave, the demos does

Um, as I see it the UK needs the EU more than the reverse. All the UK has for it is holding Ireland over the EUs head.

Lolno

arms providers, Russia will likely reconquer a territory or two, and China will use it to strengthen their ties to the EU for trade.

They may even attempt to field small armies to join in an attempt to sway the EU more to a communist ideology. But once the US steps in, none of that matters, because capitalism and the US military will soundly end it.

Look up who pays into the EU and who takes out

The UK is the EU's biggest piggie bank

Many of those banks are making moves ashore

I wasn't talking about literal banks what

London is in a panic over it

The country that pays the most into the European Union is the UK

@JustTom , but China is capitalist now

HAhahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

oh god, that was a good one Cat

O_o

>China is capitalist
Shitposting is in the other channel

Um, okay?

at best you could call it state capitalism.

China has many issues that hold it back and will continue to do so

But the Chinese have managed in a way the Soviets never could

State Capitalism is like a People's Republic
It's just a command economy

China also holds a stranglehold over many rare earth minerals we need for our war machine
