The British vote in midweek looks more and more like endorsing withdrawal from the European Union.
But the process looks increasingly messy. The U.S., whose sponsorship of a united Europe has played a huge role in the past six decades, now appears powerless to limit the chaos. Pres. Barack Obama’s intervention to endorse the U.K. remaining in the European Union apparently backfired. Polls showed an immediate growth of the Brexit sentiment among U.K. voters. Obviously, British public opinion resented U.S. interference, especially from an Administration that has made no secret of its antagonism for the historic role between London and Washington and often denigrated its heroes, including Winston Churchill.
Theoretically, Article 50 of the Union agreement permits a member to withdraw over a two-year period with a minimum of controversy. But the backers of withdrawal in London have indicated they want to have their cake and eat it too. Some of the more prominent spokesmen for the British exit have argued that London must be given time to work out new details of commercial, trade and legal relations with the remaining 23 members.

My Take - This is just the beginning....and this isn't nearly as bad, or as complicated, or as violent as the future holds for the EU and Europe as a whole. It seems likely to me France will have a Sixth Republic, Germany will have a new nationalist leader more like Hitler, but not one who will be bent on conquering the world, and that goes for the rest of Europe.....if they survive long enough.
Ethnic Europeans, including the Russians, are breeding themselves out of existence. Within the next 15 years Europe will have such a massive Muslim population the ensuing violence will destroy Europe economically and socially - and there will be no recovery because the U.S. will be facing it's own financial crises! Europe is doomed!
