Brexit: Think Out-Of-The-Box

It was early Friday morning after the UK's EU Referendum and the vote counting became conclusive of the result. De Gaulle momentarily rose from his grave and jiggled a haute Frenchman Dance that gestured, "I told you so". He was absolutely right about the UK.

De Gaulle had always contended the Brits were spoilers who could not be trusted to have their hearts in a united Europe and vetoed twice the British applications to join Europe in 1963 and 1967.

After WW2 ended, the colonies of Western Europe began to break free. The former Colonial Masters felt the emptiness creeping in as a result of the Wealth and Power Vacuum. Each country began to suffer from its own strain of itching depending on its post war fate. France had to save face, Germany and Italy to regain their dignity and the UK, well, felt it should not be left out.

They craved to gratify their combined itchiness by huddling together in a new Superstructure to Lord over the World and disguised it as a Trade Cooperation. The Russians and Chinese, of course, were not fooled and a Cold War was precipitated.

Today, the World has shrunk into a small global village through powerful technologies. These same technologies also created the unimaginable wealth that somehow fortuitously spread itself rather evenly throughout the Globe. Many new Big Markets opened up and can stand independently on their own feet. Trade Blocs are therefore completely redundant.

If anyone were to propose an Asian Trade Bloc now, he would be certainly certified a lunatic. There would be zero benefits and a mountainous bureaucratic sludge of obfuscations to the efficacious free flows and freedoms already in place.  

The UK has to its ever glowing and ingenious credit, once again, responded fittingly to the sign of the times.

This should lead to the ultimate break up of EU, symbolizing the unmistakable dying Gasp of Colonialism and Supremacist Ideology. .A genuine Free World of Equals can emerge and be truly celebrated.

Obama who has been scheming stealthily to erode the Supremacist Internal Structures of the US, confounded me when in the World outside of US, he worked his bluff to try to derail Brexit. That's why I have labeled him a Foregone Fool. Nothing personal.

Rubio and Cruz, had they been elected President this year would create the same inconsistent messes throughout the world as they too at this moment lack the maturity of Trump to see the Big World Picture.
