UK will be disappointed with USA after Brexit
If I am wrong - well, lucky England
This is not even a video. I just want to say something that will have a date on it.
You know, I want to call it. I want to be able at some point in the future to say “I knew this was going to happen, this was predictable, it should have been expected”.
I might be wrong sure, but I've seen it happening on so many levels - from personal, to art, to global politics. People do it all the time, but especially USA does it all the time.
And I predict this to happen between USA and England after brexit.
What I'm talking about is a pattern where one partner tells another “You deserve so much better and I want to give it to you. What you have now is beneath you, you should abandon it, you should burn the bridges behind you and then together we will build a bright future for you that will be so much better.”
And then after all the bridges are burned the tune changes. The one who burned the bridges becomes vulnerable and he has nowhere else to go. And now it is time for demands. Now that the conditions have changed it will turn out that there was a slight misunderstanding, things that looked like promises were not promises. And now it is time to negotiate, but since you are in such a vulnerable and needy position after you burned the bridges on your own, the deal that will now be negotiated, will be nowhere near favorable to you.
And I predict that this is what awaits England and USA relationships in the future. While UK is still in European Union the USA will make a bed of roses for it. But after England walks away from the European Union - especially if the break-up is so bad that you can't go back - then things will change.
Then it will turn out that this bed of roses was only for a short time. And now you will have to sleep on the bed of thorns, and pay for it a lot more than you paid for the rocky bed with European Union. And also you will have to be grateful for it.
Because by burning the bridges you have put yourself into a position where you have no other options. Nothing that was said or even kind of promised before you burned the bridges will matter. The situation have changed. You changed it, you burned the bridges and you are no more in a position where you can negotiate. You can only accept the terms that are presented to you by someone who - it seemed - promised you Heaven on Earth if only you would burn those bridges.
