Remember to count in newly emerged powers China and India into globalists, only 2 billion+ people... :-) I'm only willing to live with the realities brought by globalism, and trying to change and adapting to those. Pushing towards 50 years already. :-) |

I am sorry, did UK invade anyone? Was the Ukraine parliament consulted about Crimea wanting to be part of Russia? Here's the difference. UK is still UK today tomorrow or a year from now. I can't say the same for Crimea. Look at the place after the invasion. Economically distress, shortage here and there, and businesses pulling out or no longer doing business in Crimea. Sounds like a paradise to Russians eh? |

How much would you bet on EU being dismantled? To me this is part of democracy, part of nationalism, part of globalism, part of western media freedom (individuals deciding how stupid they want to be in believing lies about EU's true role in their country's matters). All of these are Western discoveries, most of them from Europe :-) |

Sounds like the breakup of the Soviet Union... First Poland.. then Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia... Proving again that Communism/Socialism is a failed institution... Once the deep pockets disappear... the house of cards collapse... Cant end up any worse than Russia.... except that people like the Brits. |

Well said. Now I think you have certain understanding why Putin said that collapse ofvthe USSR was the biggest geopolitical catastrophe of XX centurty - the quote the Wetstern propaganda and idiots consudered as his wish to rebuild USSR. And USSR was one country, the flesh was cut and bones chopped by collapse, it was disaster which no Brexit can replicate. While, of course as a result everybody will live worse, and those who voted for Brexit will regret. Maybe quite soon. But it will not prevent the rest of those who are to leave from leaving. Just look at these idiots in Ukraine - the EU is dead but they still ready to destroy their country just to join it. They are retards, as everybody is. And, I repeat and I tend to think I have the right to state it is a law of nature because so far I am the only one here who observed closely again and again - the law is, as Mr.Lenin said - an idea can become a material thing when it seizes the masses. The people during crisis blame everybody but not themselves. The rich ones blame the poor , the poor blame everybody - and it does not matter at all how close to reality it is. In USSR most were living better than proper Russia while thinking they were feeding Russia. After collapse of USSR Russia lives several times better than most of them, it was rather a burden. But even Russia still lost half of it GDP after collapse of USSR. Just imagine, 50%!! But the sentiment of most people even in Russia in late 1991 was that everybody will be better without each other. Because economy eas in crisis. Just like in the EU, though you are still perfoming not that bad, this is the reason Brexit is not total EUexit still. Older genetation in all Soviet republics regrets collapse of USSR, everybody wishes it back. All you will also do, but still you are doomed, it's a law of nature. |

Drudge, apologies accepted but may I remind that there was no unconstitutional coup sponsored by Russia in London, this is the difference.As well nobody invaded Ukraine, and in Crimea Russian troops were stationed on permanent base due to bilateral agreements. Just like the US still occupies Germany or Okinawa. And UK is still UK as much as Crimea is still Crimea. but both are no longer parts of something bigger and previous. And I suppose Europarliament was not consulted also, was it? ![]() As for shortages and economic decline - don't consume too much Wedtern propaganda And there is a flood of Russian tourists to Crimea now, it has become the most attractive destination.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I suppose I am happy for the people of the UK who decided this referendum with rather impressive voter turnout (over 70%) as the will of the people is being seen. I suppose there are economic pros and cons for the UK. Scotland is bitching and threatening to leave the UK but they were doing that before this so that is not exactly something to fret over. For the EU it is roughly the economic equivalent of California leaving the USA so I can see the concern. Obviously the real problem will occur if say France or Germany try to leave. Does this mean that the UK can now deport a bunch of possible terrorists? I always thought that their policies which have led to the rise of these radical Imams in the UK were their own, not EU policies foisted on them by the union. Somebody correct me if I'm off base here. I guess as an outsider my thoughts on this (and I have obviously not put much time into the issue) have been that if the UK wishes to leave then let them leave. |

Well, if they can get the economics of the thing sorted out then you can't really blame them can you. That open border policy combined with the open arms policies of the EU brass has definitely led to some real issues. |

exactly. I still don't exclude that the West and particularly the UK will demonstrate its hypocricy and double standards and will implement the worst forms of manipulation to avoid implementing the will of people. By the way, Hughmac, I am not sure on 100%, but if I know anything on economy - I tend to think that very soon, maybe tomorrow, maybe within a week - the Pound will jump much higher from recent levels. Big banks never loose opportunity to get some profit on market movements, they always make moves of the markets bigger, so when cries "we are all dead" about Brexit reach maximum - buy as much Pounds as possible. In short time I doubt there will be big consequences. Rather I expect in several weeks everything to calm down and Brexit voters will get even more support after people see nothing serious actually happens. Central banks still have power not to afford anything big to happen. Negative consequences will be long term, rather it will just bring total collapse closer. Brexit will not have as big an impact as Lehman right now. Edited by Siberian, Jun 24 2016, 12:00 PM.

Here is a link with some very good maps and charts of the results. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36616028 This one in particular is interesting. ![]() Essentially, if you can remember a time when the UK made all if it's own policy decisions then you were for leaving the EU. If you did not remember anything but living under the EU then you voted for staying in it. Also, similar to the US, more rural areas were invariably for leaving the EU while cities were not so willing to go it alone. Edited by Demagogue, Jun 24 2016, 12:22 PM.

LOL... The world recognizes UK's decision but do not recognize Russia annexation of Crimea by force. Coup you say? HAHAHAHA!!!! You are confused again. US is NOT occupying Japan or S. Korea. It's called the status of force agreement. Like in the Philippines, the US is not an occupier by force but rather invited to be there. Last I recall, the Ukrainian government don't see this invisible agreement you mentioned and they are still fighting the Russian troops. It's like the invisible book the Chinese claimed that will proof their claim to the entire South China Sea. Come back and compare when you can show proof that UK troops were rolling their tanks and aerial bombers into Scotland and Ireland forcing the people to vote yes on the exit. Of course, everything is Western propaganda to you right? Yes, apology accepted. Thanks |

I was kinda hopin that I would see your comments on this today..... Where to start? First, this will not be a financial armageddon, a la Lehman Brothers per your comments. That catastrophe was caused by liberals/Democrats demanding that billions of dollars of housing loans be made to people who could not afford to make the mortgage payments on said housing. This, ...this, ...is different. Yes, yes indeed, there are many economic advantages for the Brits to be "inside" the EU. No question. All kinds of trade agreements will now have to be re-jiggered in the coming years. There is, however, a two year grace period for this to take place. No problem. The British financial community will come out of this fine, and probably stronger in the long run. The British Pound Sterling may drop a little bit in the short run, but if competent politicians are in charge, in this case the Tories, the Sterling should regain its strength and be a model for the world. In other words, stop spending money you don't have and everything will be fine. Politicians cause inflation and financial instability, not the free market. Yes, Scotland may indeed elect to secede. Yup. No question. You'll note from the voting charts that the Scots were all in favor of staying in the EU and deriving its, ...b-e-n-e-f-i-t-s. Government hand-outs and checks are at their highest percentage in Scotland. I'm sure you know that. Dare I say the word, ...socialism? But the percentages are enormous there, and the financial burdens to all British taxpayers through the roof. The Scots want this to continue. Didja see the vote last night from Scotland? Hmm? Yes, they may take their oil revenues from those off-shore rigs when they go and spend them on their welfare state. Maybe. But there's not enough money there to continue this state of affairs. They, the Scots, haven't figured this out yet. Just wait and see what the new Scottish/Socialist government of Scotland does when faced with balancing their budgets. In a few years the place will look like Venezuela...! Why did this happen? Why? People are sick and fed-up with the liberals/socialists of Europe who have systematically destroyed its identity. They've created massive bureaucracies in Brussels that are gargantuan, overbearing and fascist-like. People are sick of it. From Austria to Denmark to the Netherlands, people feel like their lives have been taken from them. They are told to willingly accept massive immigration in their own communities by politicians and bureaucrats looking at the "greater good." We know better. We have your best interests at heart. Faceless, nameless bureaucrats shaping Europe's future. Draconian laws being passed. New taxation everywhere. A monster needs to be fed. Arrogance. Pomposity. All of Europe is sick of it. Period. Europe has become a mish-mash. Culture and history are being ignored for the "greater good" according to the demands of the bureaucrats in Brussels. People want to be British again, French and even German. A shared cultural history, a shared future. It's been taken away. This will continue! France next, then even my beloved Austria! Get the hell out. We want our own land back, our own laws, our own idiosyncrasies. Borders and common sense will return to Europe. Get used to it, it's coming....! Mozart |

This comment caught my attention this morning:
Hey! Don't worry we have enough liberal/labor/Muslim votes in London to stay in the EU! We'll make our own laws, and all you people wanting to come to the UK from Sudan, India, Pakistan and Uganda can come here, vote with us, and get your benefits. London no longer belongs to the UK. We have the votes! Amazing. Mozart |
