>>A EUROPEAN Union leader has begged countries to stop holding referendums for fear of tearing the bloc apart.<<

Dreaded Bugblatter Beast syndrome.

It is to laugh....

I’m sure he knows he is talking about himself there. Must be some psychological description for this kind of twisted mental state.

I also think all this Russian hacking fake news is more about stopping upcoming votes in the EU than it is about stopping Trump at this point. That ship has sailed.

Interesting...& likely accurate observation.

For once I agree with Soros. The EU will fall under its own stupidity, because I think internal wars will break out as citizens finally get fed up with their globalist masters.

The EU failed to protect Europe from the most recent Islamic invasion.
Islam has been trying to invade Europe for a very long time.
The first one in 732 was stopped by Charles Martel at Tours, France.
The last one was stopped by Jan Sobieski at the gates of Vienna in 1683.

Since the EU won’t protect Europe, individual countries will protect themselves.
It’s called survival.
Islam will not stop the jihad until everyone on earth submits or dies.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

The EU was doomed for failure from the start. The European Common Market worked because it allowed for duty free trade between member countries, but because each country retained their own sovereignty, it never went beyond the first step of a common currency.

The EU was supposed be the morphing of the Common Market into the United States of Europe, but the individual countries would not give up their individual sovereignty to Brussels.

The UK was in "Brexit" mode from the start when they refused to convert to the Euro. Each country still maintained their own Armed Forces, and could never turn NATO into a truly common defense force.

The EU has already collapsed. All that can happen now is to formalize the reality.

>>ICEIN? Iceland ‘to hold referendum whether to JOIN crumbling EU’ as new government forms
ICELANDIC citizens may soon be forced to live under the tyranny of the European Union after its new coalition government appears to be hell-bent on joining the bureaucratic Brussels bloc.<<

The 2nd dumbest thing I ever did in my life was: When the Whittier Narrows quake hit I was just arriving to work. We felt it BIG. So what do I do? I stupidly drive INTO a parking garage! I was more worried about other things and wasn’t thinking.

This is what Iceland is considering doing.

Note: I could not get my car back for 3 days!

And Soros ought to know because he is among the elite who did so.

And why should they have? I think they’ve always been jealous of our ability to move from state to state, which they have with the Schengen agreement, but so many of our states were formed AFTER the Union was in place, plus with the conquered South forced to adopt Northern rules, our situation has never been comparable with Europe’s many countries, or even say, India’s many states which represent individual peoples, cultures, and languages. The US is different and others should not try to emulate it unless the model fits.

From the Latest Edition of the Soros New World Dictionary:

Democracy: A system where George Soros is the sole arbiter of what's good, what's bad, who wins and who loses. Independent thinking is discouraged and generally punished.

The EU was failed from the get go, once the globalist started to try to use it for their larger goals beyond its stated economic intent, just exacerbated the collapse.

EU was never going to work... It was a stupid thing to try

Thanks for the descriptive syndrome...

Having never heard of it, I looked it up. Your description fits very well.

I’ve never been a HG2G fan so it was all new to me. Thanks.

I’ve often referred to the current move toward democracy as a “Lord of the Flies” application while our current world government is more like “Animal Farm.” Both books should be required reading in all schools.

Speaking in the third person fools no one, there, Georgie boy. You’re on the hook more than anyone.
