Because they remained loyal to the petroDOLLAR and to US political and economic alliances. In other words, they are the US's toady. And they are going to go down with the US, which is just starting to crash and burn now.

Never forget, ALL civilzations fall eventually.

The UK never really liked the EU as it is inherently anti-democratic and thus unaccountable to the people. Like Sweden the UK also didn't trust that the Euro would be stable or viable long term plus the people of the UK tend to rightly be proud of theor history and not willing to engage in the destruction of the nation state all because unelected and unaccountable Eurocrats want to undermine and replace nations.

In short, the UK was always a poor fit for the EU and the people are better off with theor own historic institutions which they can control via the democratic process.

Just over half the population was sick of the EU shoving its bullshit on em.

Yeah. The real reason is to maintain and strengthen the US/UK alliance. Bad luck for the Brits.

You don't even understand why thidl nonsense is a load of horse dung, do you? Obama was business threatening and cajoling to try to interfere with the Brexit vote in order to convince UK voters to vote against their own self interest. Obama was even threatening the alliance itself.

So if you are going to try to push some counter factual revisionism maybe at least try to make it fit some of the evidence instead of simply babbling nonsense and hoping no one notices.

Your nonsense is becoming intolerable, seriously you are wrong about literally everything and worse still are convinced that it's everyone else who is mistaken and you're the enlightened one.

I live in Britain remember? The US dollar had sweet fuck all to do with the reason why Brits voted to leave the EU. The underlining reason was IMMIGRATION, you know, the phenomenon which you lefties love and slander those who oppose it as being bigots and racists...

Fuck the Euro and fuck the Globohomo dictatorship known as the EU.

AND they were bound and determined to stay close partners with the US. It was a crucial aspect of the whole thing. Petro dollars. The Iraq war.

Follow the money.

So? The UK still wanted to keep dealing in dollars rather than euros, and Brexit was an extension of that whole thing, no matter what Obama said.

They wanted to keep the pound sterling and the dollar had nothing to do with that. You seal in wild unsupported conspiracy theories.

Follow the money. When you put politics aside and just look at the facts, the world takes on a different quality.

They wanted to continue their support for the petro dollar. They were completely on board to shift to euros, and in the eleventh hour they backed off.

Reason? Oil, and the US.

It's my understanding that the Brits grew tired of carrying slouches like Portgual around and decided they'd be better off on their own.

And what of it? It's their right to not want to carry around a bunch of bum ass countries. Good for them

Do you really see another way? Like a feasible way?

It will collapse. No doubt. It will be reborn, too. As what.......who knows.

No, I don't think they will anytime soon.

The reason is that much of the world has become terrified of Russia and China especially.

Japan, Israel and Poland beng some other examples.

They know if the don't support the US, there's no buffer between them and something is much worse.

That's why the rest of the wolrd continues to prop up the US dollar even tho technically the USA is broke.

So they won't fall for sometime yet.

The people who think like this were taught this. And the ones that admit the country is locked in cold civil war..... literally think it's a reboot of the Confederates vs the Union.

Have you see them talking about this? They really see this as their revisionist version of the Civil War(Confederates vs the Union) realized. They also think Republicans were the Confederates. It's so ignorant and delusional.

If we were gonna draw parallels to this current conflict to wars of the past.....I see much more Revolutionary echoes than Civil war ones.

These are people who think Trump "resurrected" the confederate army and that Republicans were Confederates and the Democrats were the heros. And the mythical Republican confederates are all red neck white supremacists who are motivated by white supremacy.

In a cold civil war that looks way more like the revolutionary war than the Confederate Civil war. They even think militias are rag tag Confederate supporting white supremacists. Militias. The 111%. And they think the Gadsden flag being waved by people in the Patriot party movement is a confederate nazi fascists thing.

And they are VERY devoted to their bullshit and completely out of touch.

We should start a thread about all the crazy things they believe because this Confederates civil war narrative they have is really wacky.

Have you read anything about that wack ass 1619 project?

Yes, but propping up the dollar isn't going to prevent the coming crash. It's going to be far worse than 2008 because things have been going to hell ever since then. It's a complete fubar at this point.
