As a citizen of an EU member state, I’d be more than happy to see the UK return to the EU. The UK would benefit from the EU market, and the EU would benefit from stronger military power.

Good and sensible … not a big fan of Starmer but he’s been showing some spine and that’s good as if it had been the conservatives or reform we’d been sending troops day 3 of an illegal war to support a foe who doesn’t care about any “special relationship” and prefers insulting us on a regular basis (including the armed forces). Time to strengthen relationships with allies on our doorstep.

Im sure the french would still have him beat if the internet started in like, 600 BCE. But certainly in the last 50 years

The UK feels like EU's on again off again ex that comes over when they need something.

To be quite fair, the UK being in the EU benefited the EU plenty. And would again.

Benefited the UK too, but they seemed to think otherwise, which is mindboggling.

Most of us (at least now) understand that we did benefit massively through the EU. Unfortunately there was a period where a certain portion of our population was fooled by grifters and now the damage is done.
The most mind boggling thing is that Nigel Fararge who was one of the biggest names who pushed Brexit is now one of the most popular politicians.

At the time of the vote ten years ago it was a very narrow majority of 52%. That has now evaporated to barely 37%

Sure but the EU moved on. If the UK really wants to come back, they shouldn't expect to get all those opt-outs back they had before leaving.

‘Moved on’ from one of its largest partners and contributors is not true at all, they’re far more adept to adapt as they’re a union and were solitary.

Pretty sure we'd have to have the Euro too, but that would be good as it would reduce our borrowing costs

Strict adherence to the rules tends to take a back seat when real politics shows up. There's already talk of a 'two speed Europe' with different tiers/degrees of integration. The UK rejoining the EU could be the thing that makes the two speed Europe a reality.
In a world where superpowers are carving out spheres of influence, and a world war doesn't seem impossible anymore, letting Britain keep the pound so that the EU can add 70 million people is not a bad deal at all. In fact, it would be a huge strategic win for the EU.

So you are gonna peddle this island of your closer to us now? It has to be so tiring to change course every few years. Just stay closer to us, and don't mind what France says, they also want you closer, just being shy about it:D

I think we're past that now. It would take monumental effort from an incoming President to repair this. It isn't a "Hey, sorry about the last guy heh.. anyway..." deal.

American voters have short memories yes.
Internationally though, the damage is done. The rest of world now views America as unstable and unreliable, it will take decades to restore America’s image on the global stage.

I'd be surprised, with how intertwined the world, and how big a market America is, it would be economically painful.
I'd be glad to be wrong.

What I meant was - Trump is trying to be as disruptive as possible. He's basically trolling. And feeding the troll is always the incorrect option.

Ignore the man that has crippled our economies and threatened us? The kleptocrat that insults us and damaged the security of the middle-east? Ignore him?

I get the feeling it's starting to happen. World leaders (in the free world, anyway) appear to be realising Trump has zero respect for anyone, no matter who you are. There's no point in engaging him. He's determined to be as ornery as possible.
