    You said "So... While the British economy continues to slide and all the scenarios that were predicted have come true... " It's only been a wek since the vote. It will take a lot longer than that for things to work themselves out.

    No... It has been almost two weeks.
    Work themselves out? They haven't even notified the EU to start the process.
    Let's see... FTSE is diving like a stuka, the prime minister has resigned, the British pound is historically low and will keep going down, the leader of UKIP has abandaned ship.
    The UK is having leadership battles in both parties and will probably have an election soon. Scotland is looking seriously at independence now that the EU has made it clear that they can't stay in the UK and the EU.

    I am not sure what you think will work itself out... Unless you think that the UK can reverse their decision.

    Exactly. So why concern ourselves yet? It's all huffing and puffing at this point.
    There is no need to get excited yet and some of those things you mention are based on pessimism only. You must have also heard the reasons for Farage leaving the UKIP.

    Would it be a disaster for either Scotland or the UK if they were to leave? The smart money should be investing in the UK.

    Please do... Invest all your money in the UK and come back to me in a couple of months.
    The only ones that got exited were the Brexiters. But they have already abandoned ship it seems while the country continues to slide into obscurity.

    These things were predicted to happen... It is quite telling that the only thing left is "time will sort it out". Sure...

    A couple of months? I can see you're not an investor and know little of trade or commerce. Events are always being predicted from every angle but eventually you have to rely on your own independent intelligence.

    Funny. Meanwhile you would need "war weapon control laws" for your own population, so I don't have any idea what you call "stable". And I also don't have any idea what "history is on our side" means. History was not on the side of the red Indians when "you" massmurdered them. Perhaps a reason why everyone in your country lives in fear of the own people and needs weapons now. You don't know what history is missing because of the wrong decisions of the USA. And I gave you not any advice. You gave me the advice Europe would not need an army which is able to defend Europe, because "you" are defending Europe. Besides that the USA is not Europe - what gives the USA no rights in Europe at all - you don't have the possibilities to defend Europe nor are you able to defend what you hate. And if you think it is a joke that your empire will fall then you are wrong. Your empire will fall. We saw every empire fall in history.

    What 'war weapons control laws" are you referring to? You're certainly not quoting me.
    Perhaps that's because you didn't quote me properly and didn't finish reading the sentence. That's where it was explained.
    I suppose not.The Europeans really did a number on North, Central and South America, didn't they? Africa as well.
    Not much need to be afraid if you can protect yourself. Europeans, with an exception or two, do not feel they are adult enough to have weapons and would rather be unable to defend themselves. Many of them actually think leaving themselves and their families vulnerable to danger is a good thing. Those Europeans attacked by Communists, Nazis and Fascists may have appreciated an opportunity to defend themselves but instead they were condemned to die by the tens of millions.
    Wrong history of thee USA?
    I'm assuming English is not your first language but, even if it were, I get the feeling this would still not make sense.

    The moment we had to mobilize and send U.S. Forces to Europe after repeatedly sending U.S. Envoys to the victorious WWI nations begging them to lesson war reparations from Germany which was causing joblessness and starvation in the streets of Berlin and throughout Germany as we told the European's if they kept that up it would start an entire new round of New German Ultra-Nationalism.....was when we gained that right.

    Germany along with Japan and Italy are very much U.S. Military Protectorates and they will remain as such for the foreseeable future.

    Now all 3 nations have done very well being a Protectorate and we do not get involved in the running of their day to day lives but these nations cannot develop any Offensive Military Weapons Systems or Capability nor can they deploy such offensive systems unless the U.S. allows them to.
