2. I almost hope the Brexit works

for the same reason I almost hope Le Pen wins, that way, a Europe that spent the latter half of the 20th century playing the eagle against the bear can be forced to smack it's head into the wall of it's incompetence. The Euro was the one serious contender to dethrone the Dollar, until Germany began to pick up old habits of conservative government and ethnic arrogance. Add to that a Britain that cannot decide if they want to be Europe or a revived Empire, and a France that threw away Liberte et Egalite for racism and Austerity, and it may only be a matter of time where the Russians and Chinese ask themselves if they even want the headache of taking it over.

Of course, I hope the Cameron, Le Pen, and yes Merkel go down in flames, I hope the bonfire is so big we can throw Trump on it too.
