It's brilliant to see the Germans and British together like this as two fantastic countries. It's best to look at the purely political monster that is the EU as a separate thing altogether.
Brexit was about the EU not Europe of which Britain is very much a part. Ideologically Germany and the UK has always been very close to one and other. It’s great to see and another positive sign, much like the joint task force with HMS Queen Elizabeth with other nations too working together.
The potential of a centralized EU military runs completely counter to the UK's own security interests, which are much more global. The CANZUK sphere is deeply intertwined with the USA, Japan and India in the Indo-Pacific. Many EU nations have little interest in that region, and NATO interoperability is still strong despite Brexit, making a split along this issue logical and almost inevitable. Economically speaking the picture is similar. The UK has needs and interests that extend beyond the scope of the EU and clash with it's centralizing policy. China is the EU's biggest trade partner, while the UK government is currently using threat of economic sanctions as pressure on the PRC over political issues such as crimes against the Uyghur minorities and aggression against Indo-Pacific allies. The USA and the nations of the Indo-Pacific offer a wide array of trading partners for the UK to cooperate with outside of the restrictive agreements of the EU. So economic slowdown will not be as intense over the long term as naysayers have suggested; especially if the EU does not deliberately sabotage the relationships of member states wth the UK out of spite for leaving. Brexit is such a funny bit of politics. The only reason I can gather why people support staying is the hope that the EU would have paved over the native social politics of the nation, removing the requirement to pay any regard for their dissenting countrymen. Pretty gross, honestly. Glad that the UK won out in the end.
Personally if I was old enough to vote In 2016 I would’ve voted to leave, maybe now I’m not certain I would make the same choice however it’s still early days and lots of good things ahead. However I still love Europe and countries like Germany and the Netherlands and such. I think it’s great we are still cooperating militarily and our peoples respect each other. I just think politically becoming more aligned with the former colonies are a really good place to be in. Lots of natural resources, strong rising economies and a shared language, history and culture
After all english are Germans anglo saxons anglo from anglia in southern Denmark and saxon from saxony in northern Germany they're germanic tribes with germanic languages
@@loyalist5736 Norman's were just vikings that settled in Normandy ( northmen) they ain't native to France but they were once sea raiders who even sieged Paris and then in the end the French King granted them land and they were used to stop other viking parties from sailing up the river to Paris. They ended up converting to Christianity and speaking the local tongue which would be French.
Because Brexit was more about economics and red tape. Didn’t really have anything to do with leaving Europe behind (sure some will disagree), of which the UK is a part.

Why? I tell you "why", because it takes both of them, combined, to come up with 1/2 an Air Force because the budget is wasted of garbage like a mediocre "national health care" and on "diversity".
EU and Brexit had nothing to do with turning our backs to Europe. Interoperability has increased during and post Brexit. Brexit was a political, economic and red tape decision.

@@Sedna063 The old con game trick of saying "the check is in the mail", right? And what about the Versailles Diktat bill that still hasn't been paid? I am writing a book about deadbeats and I have two chapters exclusively about the various Reichs.
It takes 15mins to get the QRA jets off the ground because you have to give the RAF techies the time to finish their cups of tea and to stop playing cards in the crew room. I speak from experience.
Is it because the Germans barely have a working air force and they just realised the Yankees no longer have any gain on protecting German air space. So they need to learn how a modern Air Force is run and the RAF is the best one after the americans?
tf u talking about
You should write that down, would make a great fantasy novel.
It’s mainly to reduce costs…
Why? I tell you "why", because it takes both of them, combined, to come up with 1/2 an Air Force because the budget is wasted of garbage like a mediocre "national health care" and on "diversity".
Nazis nazis nazis hipocryts
Because we have a dozen serviceable planes, four fully trained pilots and enough money to pay for a few sorties a year between us.
Why do I hear the strains of "there were 10 german bombers in the air......"
Shame to see the UK falling out with our European ex allies over brexit
Brexit and NATO are completely different and one doesn't affect the other.
Get back to the Sun comments troll.
They don't behave like allies the EU cannot be trusted,
EU and Brexit had nothing to do with turning our backs to Europe. Interoperability has increased during and post Brexit. Brexit was a political, economic and red tape decision. It has nothing to do with Europe, NATO and countries we share a similar ideology too. They are still very much our allies. This, NATO and the JTF with HMS Queen Elizabeth are all testimonies to that
I bet they feel so much better for wearing the face nappies..............
Good luck to Russia 🇷🇺
