    Fuck Trump and the horse he rode in on (Musk), but he is doing wonders for UK/EU relations.

      Lol, he’s part of the cabal that pushed for Brexit. One step forward in reaction to two steps back is not to his credit.

        Obviously nothing is to their credit. But the talk about tariffs is forcing the UK to look towards Europe more than they maybe would have, and a majority of Brexit voters are now in favour of joining the EU’s internal market.

        It was just a tongue in cheek way of saying that the US’ only ally in the world is going to be the soaring Russian economy - even the Brits, who forcefully tied themself to the Mayflower mast, are now looking back to Europe.

        In good personal news, a good friend of mine in the UK has landed a really good job in the UK working on the tariffs. I’m very happy for her. Silver linings. :)
