Brexit can work well within the US's favor and be bad for Russia

BUT

It would require the de facto break up or neutering of the EU.

Something which isn't going to happen in the near future.

If Brexit was the catalyist for that then the US would be in prime position to reassert its influence

Or China.

It won't be Russia xD

But it may releave pressure off of Russia, because of different bordering nation states.

I certainly think it will be China that benefits from Brexit the most. I suppose Russia might benefit in the short term, due to the economic fallout but not much.

In the long-term Brexit could start a chain of countries leaving the EU; though I think that is unlikely to happen. But a low possability

As you said it will releave some pressure on Russia certainly from the UK for a few years as we deal with Brexit and start to recover.

who's top of the list for next to leave

I'd imagine Greece and *potentially* Italy

i was gonna say italy but then i realized i dont actually know

Italeave

I imagine any chance of this happening will be certainly 10+ years from now

They will want to see what post-Brexit Britain is like and how we do

> A poll by the Pew Research Center in June 2016, before the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, found France to have a 61% unfavourable view of the EU, second only to Greece's 71%, with the United Kingdom on 48%.

Oh, I didn't realise it was that high in France

> However, when asked about an actual departure from the EU, 45% of French wanted to stay in the bloc while 33% expressed a desire to leave.[2] The figure in favour of remaining increased to 60% in a subsequent poll in 2019.

Italy is the serious one.

Greece cannot even. Its a joke.

Madame Frexit

Le Pen

Italy has been on the raw end of European politics in general for multiple generations now, and specifically was on the raw end of the Euro.

> In a January 2018 interview with the BBC, President of France Emmanuel Macron agreed with Andrew Marr that the French people were equally disenchanted with globalisation and if presented with a simple yes / no response to such a complex question, they would "probably" have voted for Frexit in the same circumstances.

The US SHOULD, be doing everything in its power to fuck the EU into dissilution.

But that takes a shift of mind within washington.

I think Greece would benefit from a Grexit, since they would have more controls over their monetary policy meaning they can be more agressive in needed changes.

Only the Pentagon seriously oppose the EU and the rest of Washington take the view of tepid support to outright strong support...

That requires competency in Washington, something which is currently lacking

Also it would require Greece not to be a joke pretend nation kept alive by strategic subsidization.

Funnily enough, Greece leaving the EU will bring them closer to China

China will make the port of Piraeus look like a playground

@2K ^^

Unless the US subsidizes their navy

Fuck their navy, the US would need to subsidise their economy

The US would be competing with China in how much investment they can pour into the country, if they want control over Greece
