America had to fight off Britain in the War of 1812 to drive home the point that the Revolution was serious about asserting America's freedom. Britain split from the proto-imperial European Union in 2016. Did Britain just surrender to the EU in its own War of 1812?
"Starmer’s ‘Brexit reset’ is even worse than you thought":
The EU side certainly had a lot to smile about. For Starmer and the UK government had, in the early hours of the morning just ahead of the summit, ceded significant chunks of the UK’s sovereignty, agreeing to accept EU rules over vast swathes of the British economy. ...
Under Starmer’s new deal, post-Brexit Britain is set to become a rule-taker in several critical areas: fishing, food, defence, energy and more. It also invites the European Court of Justice (ECJ), a ruthless enforcer of Brussels’ interests, to meddle further in British affairs, to ensure compliance with the new rules Starmer has signed us up to. The concessions are painful and immediate, while the gains are elusive and, in many cases, largely theoretical.
Score a win for 10,000 cheese regulations. Did Britain just lose its fight to be independent?
Oh. Et tEU, Britain? Sure looks like it. The EU wasted no time on Britain's defense subordination. NATO is supposed to be the defense body for Europe--not the always-plotting EU.
