China vs USA is a business competition. Both think that can get an advantage out of it.
Russia vs USA is a struggle for power and influence in Europe. If USA losses the EU it is isolated. If USA becomes Russian ally it is a major shift in the world power and will bring with it a lot of instability, and that means lose money.
Brexit can be an example of the late. Brexit movement foundation relays on the so called fake-news. It is a big shift in power, but not so big as the UK was never well integrated into the EU. The monetary loss is immense.
- TheAdamAndChe 10y agoThe cause of Brexit is more complicated than "fake news." Just like the US, globalization has negatively impacted the middle class in the UK, and laborers have lost much of their leverage. The politicians weren't taking their struggle seriously, which led to doing the only thing they felt they could do to combat the erosion of their economy.
