    IMO, everyone in UK should be protesting and demanding to rejoin EU. Russia successfully was able to make UK withdraw through disinformation, and this only made UK weaker.

      Remember Cambridge Analitica, most of whose money came from wealthy Americans?

      Maybe they were or maybe they weren’t in cahoots with Russia, but sure as hell it was the very same members of the American “elites” who supported Trump’s rise who also bought Brexit.

      Britain’s careless openness to American influence makes it easy for Americans to play it like a fiddle.

        Take a look at content of this book (published in 1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics#Content

        It was unthinkable that brexit would happen back then. But a lot of things described happened, because Putin is following this plan.

        War in 2022 kind of put things sideways, but now it’s resuming with trump.

        Those oligarchs have no loyalty to the countries they live in, they do whatever makes them richer. They are the most bribeable people.
