Contrary to your statement "that British leadership did absolutely nothing to ensure a smooth transition away from the European Union, and now they're crowing about how they were right all along." the "British leadership" i.e. the government has been solely responsible for the Brexit negotiations. Furthermore, that "British leadership" has, since 2015, been the Conservative Party. Cameron introduced the referendum and then promptly resigned after the result. He was succeeded by May and she was succeeded by Johnson who in 2019 won the largest Conservative majority since 1987 in the December General Election.

In your opinion
Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostReciting recent the succession of prime ministers, which I actually am familiar, does nothing to change my assessment.
Just admit you have not really followed any of this in detail. No one will care.

That has been my impression as well, that British leadership did absolutely nothing to ensure a smooth transition away from the European Union, and now they're crowing about how they were right all along. It's almost like they want to punish the people who voted to leave.
That you think the leave government want to punish leavers only shows your lack of basic knowledge on the subject.

First of all, China Joe is only in the White House because of Democrat cheating.
And secondly, despite being president for less than a week, he has already done tremendous damage to our economy and sovereignty.
So really, you have nothing to feel jealous of, but it's not unusual for foreigners to only like the United States when our government does things that negatively affect us.
But you've finally turned a corner and gone back to the grownups table. Obviously you still have to undo 4 years of damage, but it's a start.
Keep in mind I was actually paying you guys a compliment, my country is still embassassing themselves.

Not sure what you mean by sovereignty in this context? He inherited a shabby economy from your hero. As well as a disastrous covid response (one of the worst on the planet).
That you think the last 4 years have reflected well on the US is actually quite amusing.

This remark of yours does not contribute well to endorse any other arguments you might make.

As for President Trump's supposedly "disastrous" China flu response, Joe's great plan was 100 million vaccinations during his first 100 days in office, but we were already at 1 million vaccinations a day under President Trump, so it seems Joe's work is already done. And now the Pretender in Chief is saying (paraphrased), "Gee, now that I look at it, there's really nothing more we can do about the China flu."
China Joe has only been in office for less than a week, but he has already caused great damage to our country. Trust me, you have nothing to feel envious about.
