Re: The Brexit Negotiation Process (none / 0)

And we're still on a path to war in Europe within a generation.

This is new (for me)? Who against whom? Is Russia involved? Will there be nukes?

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.

Most likely candidates are civil war in Greece, civil war in Spain and war between Hungary and weak neighbour with an Hungarian minority.

But this can't be news to you, you read it years ago (and commented) right here: http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2013/3/4/42525/06144

Speaking of Greece ... how IS Greece doing these days? What's life like for the average Greek?

You did say Spain.

British warships must be sent to Gibraltar to "protect it from Spain" during Brexit negotiations, a former Ministry of Defence special adviser has said.
Luke Coffey, director of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, argued the step was needed as part of measures to fend off Madrid's bid for joint sovereignty as discussions with the European Union continue.

Ah, gunboat diplomacy. That's so cuuuuute.

So very 19th century, which is where most ideas from the Centre for Policy Studies belong

Re: The Brexit Negotiation Process (none / 1)

And I suppose that has been the dominant mode of the UK's relationship with "Europe" for the past 1000 years. The 45 year period of EU membership - 1973-2018 - may come to be seen as a strange interlude of cooperation with Europe in the years to come...
