C'mon Brexit

These are our brothers overseas. Of course, I was on the side of Scotland separating from Britain too. The bigger governments are always worse, but you have to balance that against the danger of invasion from abroad. Right now, Europe couldn't invade Vanderbilt. Small is the way to go.

I've always supported the Brits leaving the EU. However, I think the invasion aspect is backwards: Europe can't defeat an invasion by Vanderbilt.

The threat isn't Europe invading Great Britain, it's Russia invading Europe, as it's already begun to do. In such a case, size matters, but so do will and weapons.

Russia has a demographic problem. Europe may be lost to Third World refugees, but Russia no longer has the manpower.

Neither does Vanderbilt.

It seems to be the year for profanity in politics. Hopefully that's a sign that the machines are breaking down, and some real freedom is breaking loose. At some point we'll need to repair the civility of the civilization, but first we need to break some heads. Figuratively, if we're lucky.

The thought is the Scots would join the EU on their own.

As though they'd have them. :)

Grim, ReadHeidi Kinderman take on the Brexit. Thought it very well written.

Kinderman seems to be a lover of RUDYARD KIPLING as well. Love Kipling.
