    Germans make post Brexit plans

    https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...ope-we-are-too

    Britain’s new defence secretary should have a long look at the leaked German document. It will make sober reading alongside the defence spending cuts he is being told to make.

    Indeed the UK should prepare for war.

    The journalists to whom the document was leaked have omitted any details of what Germany is planning to do about the EU’s possible collapse and fragmentation.
    Well if their track record is anything to go by, it will involve them rushing, lemming-like, into pointless and unsuccessful military escapades that result in millions of them perishing.

    “The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”

      Yeah, oh dear:

      Despite the alarmist headlines it has generated, the leaked document is, if anything, overoptimistic. In three out of the six scenarios, things go so well that Europe resembles the Biedermeier era – 1815-1848 – of domestic bliss and military boredom. Its negative scenarios – which see the US struggling to avoid isolationism and China locked in a cultural war with the west – were written before Donald Trump came to power and before Xi Jinping’s strategy of creating a politicised Chinese infrastructure across Asia.
      Might want to read the article and not just the headlines. Germany (and I suspect many other countries) actually produce these documents quite regularly, maybe the UK government should take a leaf out of their book
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Very prudent to get ready for any eventuality.

                    One might hope that HMG would be too...
