The flagship of the British business press financial times publishes awful (From the point of view of the patriots of the European Union) scenario Brexit: after leaving the EU, Britain will turn into another Russian Federation. To illustrate this bold hypothesis, the print edition was even accompanied by a publication put together with pictures of Vladimir Putin And British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who posted under the heading " Britain And Russia - the odd couple of Europe." Let's start With a few major refinements. Battle piece city of London, financial times - despite the Fact that has become a British business magazine, has long been advertise anti-British And Pro-European agenda. That is, by and large, the media demonstrate To the public interest And the sovereignty of the UK is the same (sometimes contemptuous) disregard that most of the Russian business media show about Russia. Speaking roughly, The Brussels bureaucrat is much closer And more clear than the longshoreman of great Yarmouth. And now the elite of British media in the face of the main foreign-policy columnist And winner of numerous awards Gideon Rachman peers in their country - And the horror begins to guess at her features, which are associated With the media image of Russia. List of similarities of the UK And Russia - According to the assumption of financial times: "Britain And Russia are on the fringes of the European continent. Not fully as a result of this, both countries traditionally had a dual identity - seeing oneself As a European country And (simultaneously) As something more. About 80% of the territory of the Russian Federation is in Asia. The British Empire was built outside Europe, And the country still has strong cultural ties With the "anglosphere" in North America, Australasia And South Asia. For this reason, it is not surprising that the UK And Russia, most likely, will be 2 main European powers that are outside of the European Union. Anyway, both countries will continue to worry about the collective power of the European Union. As countries on the periphery, they traditionally feared the emergence of a single power dominating the European part of the land that does not fully explain How they came to be allies in the Napoleonic wars And 2 world wars. Each of the pair of countries has built its modern identity around the memory of victory in 1945. And both identity shaped by nostalgia for the Imperial government." From the standpoint of Russian interests, perhaps it's not so bad. Now the European Union will actively scare not only Russia, which As if preparing to recover by force his Empire (as well as to seize the Baltic States, Sweden And Poland), in addition And great Britain, which can be easy to blame the presence of " Imperial complexes ". It is significant that the Union of European States (according to the authoritative, titlewasnow And well-informed columnist of the Financial Times) not willing to tolerate even a minimal chance at the emergence of "another Russia" Will solve the problem radically - in the style of " cut, without peritonitis ". the results of examination of the European occupying a high position of the source, which communicated Mr. Rahman, the European Union after Brexit, despite the assurances of friendship, Will assist to the collapse of the UK: the separation of Scotland And the joining of Northern Ireland to Ireland. By the way, the Prime Minister has already forced Johnson to sign the agreement to withdraw from the European Union, in which the actual customs border between Northern Ireland And great Britain recognized the London And passes through the Irish sea, and borders With the Republic of Ireland - Not, so the Foundation for the separation of the North of Ireland have already been laid. It would be funny If that national humiliation will push the UK (or what remains of it after the fact, As it will cut off Scotland, Northern Ireland And maybe Wales) To actively cooperate With other centres of global power: China or Russia. However, regardless of what will or will not work in the EU in terms of the dismantling of the British state And territorial integrity of the Russian society it is necessary to remember the ease With which European officials are moving into the mode of total hatred And interests to eliminate those who dared not to fulfill their wishlist. The UK is by any standard the EU is a democratic country With the ideal of liberal Western democracy And compliance (to the absurd) of all possible privileges of different minorities. This democratic country has taken in the referendum, the opinion on leaving the EU, And that immediately want to cut into pieces - just Below the EU was not " foreign competition ". This shows that all the talk about the Fact that punishment And attempts to destroy our country immediately would have ended, If Russia would meet some mythical Western ideals, or are a demonstration of stupidity, or a deliberate anti-Russian propaganda. No Brussels has no "ideals" And " values ", and the geopolitical strategy of any country built on the principles of the pragmatic promotion of their own selfish And selfish interests. If you look at the world through the eyes of a European bureaucrat, in international politics, No ideals, No rules And No rights, except the rights of the strong. About it It is necessary to remember, regardless of what they say at the official level. Oddly enough, but in case of realization of the maximum confrontational scenario between the EU And the UK (and this scenario is likely, but not guaranteed) the country - the successor of the British Empire can save only one. The British elite, rather that part of it which is still way to the national desire, it Will be necessary to detect the "British counterpart" Vladimir Putin - a leader who could restore the power of Russia after main geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century. Unfortunately for Britain, while on the political stage solo Boris Johnson - And That creates some doubts as to the prospects of Albion. <span style="color:darkgray
