  1. You can't reason with countries that are looking for a fight but the good thing about the EU is that it's a very rule's based organization that is always diplomatic. The UK should consider it's self lucky that the EU isn't the US because the US by now would be a lot harsher with the UK with all the crap the UK keeps doing and honestly, I think the EU should get a lot tougher with the UK, it's the only language the Tories understand.

  2. Same, not watch the video but I've seen how this goes with every other tantrum the UK government throws, the EU always comes out on top because they are smarter and more diplomatic than the UK government is. In this case, the UK doesn't have a leg to stand on, it's a treaty the UK signed just a year ago into EU and international law, break that and the UK will also end up on the wrong side of the US because it's playing fire with the world order in the US had a big part in making, in other words, if the EU and US lets the UK get away with braking international law, others will follow as international law will have little meaning, so the UK needs to be careful here.

  3. With trade wars, no one really wins but the EU being a bigger market can absorb the damage a lot better than a smaller market like the UK, so the UK is the one that loses out. There is also the factor of trust, the UK isn't conducting its self to international norms, that can be a threat to the world order the US setup after the second world war, after all, if the UK is willing to break international treaties, others will likely follow, so I doubt the US is happy with what the UK is doing. In the end, the Tories in the UK just want this war to drag out with the EU and for good reason, they need the EU as a scapegoat for all the failings of the Tories in the UK as they've always blamed the EU for all the wrongs in the UK, something that is becoming harder to do with the UK not in the EU any more but that won't stop the Tories, they need that bogeyman to shift blame too. The truth is, the Tories have been a disaster for the UK going back all the way to the austerity measure, it boggles my man that they are still in power and I can only really put the blame on the people that put them into power, in other words, they can't really complain for how things are as they helped to shape them. As for Bo Jo, it was shameful that he went to Ukraine unannounced just a day after the 3 big EU leaders went to announce EU candidates statues for Ukraine, almost as if Bo Jo felt left out, Boris doesn't care what is going on in Ukraine but he is more than happy to use the situation to get away from his own problems in the UK, it's embarrassing to watch. At least with the 3 EU countries that went, they had a big reason to go, all 3 countries were a bit cold on the idea of Ukraine joining the EU, all 3 going there and approving it sends a powerful message to Ukraine and even Russia, Bo Jo on the other hand just went there to escape his problems back home.
