With the EU in accession and the US in decline on the global stage, I suspect the US will have less ability to force these issues in future negotiations with the EU.
- blibble 9y ago> With the EU in accession and the US in decline on the global stage you're kidding right? after brexit the EU has lost 70 million citizens, its second biggest economy, its largest city (which also happens to be the world's financial capital), and its main military/cultural power whereas Trump will be gone in a few years
- r00fus 9y agoGreat Britain wasn't ever really with the EU on most things. The joke was that UK were the US's mole in the EU/world stage everyone knew it (e.g. lapdog jab in "Love Actually"). Brexit took that rent and tore it open, but if/when Scotland secedes from the UK and rejoins the EU, that might affect things. Trump being gone doesn't necessarily mean the US is going to suddenly regain it's former prominence. This discussion, of course, is ignoring the Elephant/Tiger in the room (China).
- ForRealsies 9y agoYou're delirious if you think: Scotland will actually secede from the UK, and that the EU would accept another member with such a small economic base.
