*sniff sniff* what is that smell? Oh, it is Feb 1, 1933. lol! It sounds funny coming from a Frenchman though.
Hmmm.... Angela Merkel calls for creation of 'real, true' EU army https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...nce-angela-merkel-germany-trump-a8631806.html
From yesterday's paper, somewhat ominous: Europe is forming an army A united EU military is becoming a reality, argues Germany’s defense minister. https://www.handelsblatt.com/today/...ml?ticket=ST-1165991-76xzGnJzUe3GbWmW3HIZ-ap5
Will be interesting to see how it plays out. But if the UK leaves the EU, will their military still be a part of it? I guess no? https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/05/22/germany-is-quietly-building-a-european-army-under-its-command/
2017 article...but relevant. UK will have no part in it. If they try invading the UK one day, I guess we will be able to speak with them: "The German-speaking Dutch Col. Leuvering reports that the binational Oldenburg division is moving toward using English."
That's almost Baghdad Bob/Trump at the UN laughable! The UK, an "attractive safe haven"? At this point they're more of a laughingstock around the world.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/uk/brexit-vote-theresa-may-gbr-intl/index.html As I rightly predicted it would. No person with average intelligence would accept this deal even in the most ordinary situation. I just cannot believe that Theresa May would actually agree to it and actually would bring it to the Parliament to hope it would be accepted by the UK people!!! It's time for her to go and get someone more competent to renegotiate the deal with EU or at least more competent to lead the country even if there is no deal.
"In a tweet, Tusk also pointed out that the UK could unilaterally withdraw its notification to leave the EU: "If a deal is impossible, and no one wants no deal, then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is?" Yeah they wish. They've been playing hard ball with UK all these time betting on the notion that UK would need EU more than EU needs UK, UK just called EU's bluff. Nice one, UK, glad to see someone's got a spine!
I don't know how you call the internal mess of UK politics "getting a spine". If they've accomplished anything it's been purely accidental. From the outside looking in, the problem all along has been the U.K. insisting that they get anything from the E.U. when they are in no position to negotiate anything and the E.U. is essentially of the mind of "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out". At this point the UK has made such a mess of things that they're going to screw things up for Europe in much the way your idiot neighbor causes problems for you when they burn their house down. To say that the EU needs the UK more than the other way around because they don't want to be next to a burning house is simply absurd.
