'Brexit' threatens to undermine U.S.-Britain special relationship

Britain’s decision to quit the European Union could send damaging shockwaves through the bedrock Anglo-American “special relationship,” raising questions about London’s willingness and ability to back U.S.-led efforts in global crises ranging from the Middle East to Ukraine.

The loss of the strongest pro-U.S. voice within the 28-nation bloc, as a result of the “Brexit” referendum, threatens to weaken Washington’s influence in European policymaking and embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin to further challenge the West, analysts and former diplomats say.

The British referendum on Thursday, widely seen as reflecting an increasingly nationalistic and inward-looking public, also risks the splintering of the United Kingdom itself, which could further reduce its role and stature in world affairs

We can expect to see continued articles like this, the wailing and shrieking from the mouthpieces of the globalist elites who are getting a well deserved ass kicking.

Just as we will see the repeated articles claiming that this poll or that poll shows Hillary Rotten Criminal with ‘double digit leads’ over Donald Trump. The jokers running those polls are in bed with the libtard media and no credence should be placed in them.

Overwhelmed with jealousy and admiration, Miss M! My wife and I can’t wait to get back to the USA.

Byron, I have been all over the world, in my travels with the USAF, and I am convinced, from all my travels, that there is NO place on earth, like California. Unfortunately, it is overrun with libtards, and as much as I loved the state, they drove me out.

I call BS on this

That’s funny, Barky just said it wouldn’t.

Moody’s cuts British credit outlook after Brexit vote

BFD. From Moody's page:

"The majority referendum vote in favour of the UK leaving the European Union – i.e., a “Brexit” – is credit negative for the UK because it triggers a prolonged period of uncertainty while the UK negotiates its withdrawal from the EU as well as a new trade agreement. Over this period, we expect this heightened uncertainty to weigh on the country’s economic growth, fiscal strength and the predictability of policy-making. However, the UK’s exit has a manageable effect on the EU as an issuer, whose own credit standing rests on the credit strength of the remaining highly rated member states..."

One can reasonably conclude that Moody's is in the tank for the EU, the only question is how much it cost to buy them off.

Churchill’s stingingly accurate critique of Islam

[Republican Wildcat]

This relationship existed before the EU and before Britain joined the EU.

Churchill’s stingingly accurate critique of Islam

Yes, that too. He didn't pull any punches about it, did he?

[Cobra64]

The Brit/US relationship will build and become incredibly strong just as it was between Thatcher and Reagan.

If Trump is aware of Obama's return of the Churchill bust back in 2009, Trump will ask for it back again to put in the Oval Office.

[SGNA]

The exit poll data on political ideology say it all.

[Prospero]

What complete and utter BS. Where have these people been since Obama sent back the Churchill bust in '09? Aren't they more worried about U.S. willingness to bend over and lead from behind when the EU whistles for a NATO strike, all without Congress making a peep, of course.

To hell with all snowflakes deluded into thinking this latest European attempted hegemony, backed by American power and directed by fat, faceless Eurocrats, is what they have worked so hard at selling themselves to be.

No he didn’t. And he was 1000% correct.

[Iron Munro]

Would that be the "Special Relationship" where the first thing Barack Obama did when he moved into the White House was to remove the bust of Wnston Churchill and send it back to England?

Or the one that saw Moochie Obama dressed like a Soho doxy and insult the Queen when the Obamas visited Westminster Palace?

[fruser1]

” Anglo-American special relationship,”

So that’d be with England, not the EU right?

Or maybe I just can’t speak english.

[beethovenfan]

That’s because of what Churchill wrote about the Musloids (the truth).

[The Toll]

Don’t these Europeans have a sister to save from Muslim rape?

[Mark17]

No he didn’t. And he was 1000% correct.

Yes he was.

[SaraJohnson]

The uniparty is hysterical over globalism being threatened. It’s a profitable world order for a few. No room for a middle class, though.

[crz]

What a stupid F^%k!

The reason the EU Cabal is pissed is because they just lost the billions the UK used to kick in to keep their little cabal going.
