Little Britain is an amalgamation of the terms ‘Little England‘ and ‘Great Britain’, and is also the name of a Victorian neighbourhood and a modern street in London. Says Wikipedia. It’s also what I think will remain of Great Britain in a few years. Maybe defacto already in a few days or weeks. But okay.
This is not a big problem. More serious problems are geopolitical. I do think Russia will gain from not having England (in the end not Great Britain, but just England) in the European Union: it’ll make the UK’s (or England’s) voice in NATO sound less part of one block. To remain significant will the EU block have to find a new way.
I propose to form a European military. Initially make NATO part of it. The idea would be that each country in Western Europe can join this military alliance based on negotiated contribution criteria. Let’s learn from our mistakes and allow countries to leave and be kicked out: Especially if a country doesn’t contribute enough to the alliance, it should be kicked out (temporarily).
That allows for England or Little Britain to keep its geopolitical relevance, yet allows for the EU member states to exchange economy-currency into military-currency and vice versa. Let’s show some European teeth. But let’s also remain calm and intelligent.
Meanwhile we can slow down NATO becoming a geopolitical playball against Russia. This Cold-War 2.0 nonsense isn’t benefiting world peace. Keeping the world of humans in as much peace as possible should nowadays be NATO’s only goal. I hope there is still some time before any big war starts, to stop it from happening at all. We have so much technology, happiness and growth to give to the world of humans. Let us not waste it in a big stupid worldwide conflict.
