Oh dear Mart, where have you been for the last 70 years ?! Our influence on the world has been diminishing ever since WW2...........What was worrying more of us was the worlds influence on us now !!
The European Defence force..............don't make me laugh, have you seen the relative strength of the Russian military against the Europeans, if Putin fancied having a dance in Paris anytime soon in terms of conventional forces he could probably be in by New Year to see the fireworks !
Do you think that the Europeans will let Putin through? Without the USA and Britain, Europe is no threat to Russia. They are unlikely to have their own missiles pointing at Moscow. I don’t know what Putin would do if the threats were removed. Pure speculation if you think that he wants to go to Paris.
Our influence was still there a year ago, albeit reduced. We were part of a powerful trading bloc and the Scottish referendum and GFA had put off any break up of the UK.
Now we are almost out of our trading block and the Irish question is back on the table. The once mighty UK is at the mercy of a backward religious dominated provincial party.
I predicted this on the day after Brexit Day.
It was so bloody obvious. We have driven into a cul de sac full of people who are against us.
The one who has been claiming the glory after pissing off the EU for years has now said that he is a family man and will take his non earned 72000,00 GBP pension when it is due, because it would be unfair on his family if he didn’t... So many of the „forgotten people“ fell for the lies of this rat catcher.
It is a sad situation for our country to be in. I am raging.
Luckily I am finally doing my German exams for German citizenship at the weekend. I feel sorry for the young intelligent people of our country who are having their chances reduced by Brexit,
