BREXIT Mega Thread (The Saga Begins?)

[Hurdergaryp]

Asia would be more cooperative than Europe at this point.

irrelevant

Also it remains to be seen, once we have defined the exact part of Asia Balk is referring to. Apparently it is not commonly known that Asia is pretty big.

Meanwhile the EU thinks that Flowers and weakened armies are enough to stop Ivan?

If Russia understands anything its force and how to apply in cases to where it benefits them, Europe does not.

Brexit has proven that the EU will do damn near anything to hold on and look tough, its all a show for the other nations and Russia as well.

[Fartsniffage]

i mean if you don't want to be world hegemon you're free to stop

Why bother when we can just bully them into spending more on defense. Afterall, Erdogan did such a great job at fleecing the spineless Eurocrats we ought to be able to get a bit in. Thankfully, because Britain carries its weight, it will avoid just such a fate! Though I am sure being a good Scot, you dislike nukes.

I would hope that everyone dislikes nukes....

Looking tough is the name of the game, lad. Russia and the States do exactly the same, and the People's Republic of China as well. Flex those muscles! Flex those muscles so hard!

Only in NSG could people forget the martyr of Rotterdam and the perils of being under armed for war :^)

Given how that can be interpreted more broadly than you probably meant it, it might be useful to provide us (or at least me) with a bit more info so that more context is available. I assume you're referring to 1940, but I do not have the luxury to be entirely certain.

That is how it is called in our textbooks tbh. The Martyr of Rotterdam and yes it meant the 1940 event.

So let me get this straight.

the leader of gibraltar JUST called the EU president whatshisfuck a cuck.

oh god, this is hilarious.

Hilarious is a word commonly associated with you, yes. Maybe the moderators disagree, but they are not paid for their sense of humor. They're not paid at all, come to think of it.[/quote]

No he isn't trolling, he really did.

Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo said: "Gibraltar is not a bargaining chip in these negotiations. Gibraltar belongs to the Gibraltarians and we want to stay British."
Mr Picardo urged European Council President Donald Tusk to remove the reference to Gibraltar.
"Mr Tusk, who has been given to using the analogies of the divorce and divorce petition, is behaving like a cuckolded husband who is taking it out on the children," he said.

Real life shit posting

Is it really a track record if it's only happened once?

Second Desmond Rebellion (1579–83)
Irish Nine Years' War (1594–1603)
Thirty Years' War (1618–48)
Franco-Spanish War (1635–59)
Portuguese Restoration War (1640–68)
Anglo-Spanish War (1654–60)
Queen Anne's War (1702–1713)
War of the Spanish Succession (1702–1715)
Battle of Glen Shiel (1719)
War of the Quadruple Alliance (1718–1720)
Seven Years' War (1754–1763)
Anglo-Spanish War (1762–63)

To name but a few.

So, in order...

Irish rebellion
Irish rebellion
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings
Fighting mostly against the French with the Spanish doing the whole "use the Natives to fight our wars" shtick
War to protect trade interests, no invasion of British holdings
Jacobite Rebellion
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings by Spain
Didn't involve the invasion of British holdings

So no, not a whole lot of "Spanish speaking countries trying to take away OUR DAMN ROCKS".

Holy fucking shit, you people think a united European army would be any better then what? Tanks that cant move and aircraft that cant get off the fucking ground due to lack of parts or fuel?

Europes time is done and its end cant come soon enough.

I like them, I believe they've kept the peace. I dislike world wars more than I dislike nukes.

So in what ways is the EU forcing member states to weaken their armed forces?

NATO uses English as its main language, because that is only logical. Also it seems you merrily cherry-pick your sources of information, but that was only to be expected.

the languages thing can be solved, a european army is by far the first time linguistic issues have come up

if only we had two countries with decent aeronautic industries

[Vassenor]

Also in a related note I wonder what will happen once the politicians lose the ability to use the EU as a convenient scapegoat for their own screwups.

[Neu Leonstein]

Or maybe Europe could instead not act like a poor beggar relying on American bodies to fill gaps where your pathetic armies couldn't?

Oh wait.

Its Europe, they'd rather rely on others for defense so they can keep their citizens and refugees reliant on the welfare state.

Again with the hijacking. If you want to make a thread to moan about how the Europeans have figured out how to use Americans as the dumb muscle to provide a free service, then maybe start a separate thread? As it is, this is where we set out to discuss Brexit.

Speaking of which, Brexit: Theresa May’s timeline for EU negotiations unrealistic, warns Germany’s foreign minister, The post-Brexit fantasy of a utopia of flammable sofas, At least two thirds of voters would oppose paying EU 'exit bill' of £10bn or more, poll suggests - as it happened and How Theresa May's Brexit deal could please everyone but the Leave elite.

yes which is why the EF-2000 (in germany's case) barely logged any hours of flight.

They're going to need a number of new scapegoats, but fear not: media mogul Rupert Murdoch will provide.

Oh come on. You need to stop fantasising about those mythical companies like Dassault. Everyone knows the only plane makers are American and Russian.

ah yes, Dassualt, last product worth mentioning was in '86 as the rafale....

at least the french were smart enough to keep their aircraft industry indigenous.

if this keeps going on we're going to have to talk about the F-35

Many devout followers of the dominant monotheistic religions believe these are the End Times. And when it's the End Times, thermonuclear holocaust is just one of the more glorious manifestations of the Divine Will.
