UK voted to leave EU, defacto they voted to become enclave of USA.

American influence from Trumps Steve Bannons Cambridge analytica THRU american corporation Facebook led to brexit.

so it is what some americans wanted, so now they have it, so go complain to these people britain.

It did not. A minority of voters voted "yes" in an advisory non-binding referendum. But this result was milked for propaganda purposes to drag the country into a downward spiral, which has been the plan all along.

It amazes me how this is almost never said when arguments of the type "the public has spoken", etc. appear. Whenever I bring those up, I tend to get blank stares.

I mean, a small majority of those who turned up voted to leave, on unspecified terms.

It was crazy if you ask me but it's hard to argue it was against public sentiment.

Who was behind that plan?

[rich_sasha]

Except the UK has a pending, and serious, issue with the Irish border, which is apparently peeving off Irish American voters. Biden was firing warning shots about this.

But so far there seems no practical compromise that works for UK, Ireland and the EU.

US and EU smelling blood and quite happy to exasurbate conflict inside UK for cynical reasons
