Just wondering, are you ignorant of what Clinton and Obama have done to piss off Russia, or are you in support of their policies?


Sorry, only North Korea and Russia are threatening nuclear war these days. Mighty fine company ole KGB Vlad is keeping.

"Why cling to the idea that Russia has to be an enemy?"

Because they are behaving like one.

Kim Jong-un in North Korea is also known to be in favor of Brexit.

You called it early. Well done! But at least I warned you about the bias in the pseudo-exit polls.

To all the Brits here: Congratulations! Well done!

Now off to bed (6 am here).

If I were in Fitzrovia right now, I’d head over to the Albany and walk a dog or two.

I thought Brexit was non-binding, and Parliament still has the final say.

Will they do a GOPe and scheme to overturn the will of the voters?

It is an up down dichotomy now. The way it always should be. When they divide and conquer us into left and right, we end up fighting each other instead of the real enemy.

Now on the BBC one of the stay proponents is saying the Brexiters should not act like “Donald Trump”.

“Globalism” has components worth unpacking. I oppose most of them.

Open borders are awful for the people of developed countries; they depress wages.

Surrendering the power of law to a higher than national authority is horrible. People need to hold their directly elected representative accountable. Removing the power of law to a supra-national body makes lawmaking immune to the will of the governed.

Mass Bureaucracy is a common horror of “Globalism”.

National Security particularism should be reserved to the Nation State in almost all cases.

Cultural distinction is valued by people, and top-down forced commonality is distasteful.

There is one part of “Globalism” that I know many people don’t like, but I don’t even think of it as “Globalism”: The right of people to trade with whomever they wish. That is simply Freedom. Someone coming along and with FORCE disallowing someone their innate FREEDOM is itself a Globalist FORCE. Non-force cannot be any “-ist” or “-ism” much less Globalist, since individuals choose. There is no forced philosophical bent other than getting out of the way.

Folks want to be hatin’ on economic freedom. It’s threatening. So much simpler if some Sugar Daddy protects them from having to improve to serve their customers. But that’s life. If you want actual freedom, you have to attract customers without the FORCE of BIASED BUREACRATS coming down on your side. Or maybe the other guy’s side if you don’t donate enough to the Bureaucrats.

For those who want Tariffs to protect industries, let me make a deal with you. I’ll completely agree to Tariffs on one condition: I get to decide. I’m smarter, a well trained economist, more even-handed than anyone else you could possibly find. I *promise* to only favor those industries that (ahem) make it worth my while. And if you don’t agree that I’m good enough, who exactly will fill that same role of collecting all the favors of the protection seekers?
