Re: Brexit wins, UK to leave the EU
Well, that was a surprise.
As to what will happen, that's gonna take some "wait and see". As Niall mentioned in his article, it's not binding in any way.
Then again, we have the West (aka USA) pushing the EU against Russia while simultaneously pushing this TTIP and other nonsense that really stink to high heaven. On top of that, there are the "refugees" and the rise of the far right parties everywhere - AND the massing of troops on the Russian border via NATO. It really reminds me of the poo-storm they created in the former Yugoslavia, and we all know how that went.
BUT... I don't think Russia and China are totally unaware of all this. I think they're actually hoping for it. Even BRICS and the Eurasian Union were like the planting of seeds. Surely Russia and China aren't so dumb that they thought they just propose it, and POOF! Everything would work out. I think they proposed things and started the ball rolling to present an alternative for the future.
Well, whatever happens, at least things are changing. Yes, the symbolic Brexit may result in more "bad stuff", but it may also give other countries and people the courage to speak their minds. That's better than the status quo forever, even if will probably mean some short-term "discomfort" and uncertainty - and possibly even chaos in some places. There have already been economic shudders.
It's exactly at times like these that we all need to keep our wits about us, and push harder than ever. Chaos may be scary, but it can also be a time of new possibilities since things are in a state of flux. This can be a very good thing.
"Finally, something has changed for the better!" always starts with, "It's all gone wrong Inspector, hasn't it?"
In any case:
;D
