EU likely to get new members bigger and likely weaker
Nationalistic programs / focus in Germany France "UK"
South Korea / Japan spat .. semiconductors , beer :lol:

Waiting for the day Scotlamd becomes independent.Irish borders are already virtually non-existant and the key issue in the Brexit bog.Turkey has rebelled and if Erdo stays on for some more time, may leave NATO.Not a healthh time for him.The US will do everything to oust or whack him...and he just lost Ankara in the elections.

Without the Brits the EU will be weakened but if Scotland breaks free it will rejoin the EU.The " Partition" of Little Britain is eagerly awaited!

Scottish Union was to jointly exploit colonial India.
Seventy odd years after Indian independence the Union is melting.e
North Sea oil discovery kept it going for a while.
Truly Norman Davies in his book Europes Failed States was right :
"States fail when the idea of the state fails!"
