Reuters: Britain agrees Brexit divorce deal with EU, May's opponents vow to thwart it
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain struck a draft divorce deal with the European Union after more than a year of talks, thrusting Prime Minister Theresa May into a perilous battle over Brexit that could shape her country’s prosperity for generations to come.
While Brussels choreographs the first withdrawal of a sovereign state from the EU, May, a far from secure leader hemmed in by opponents in government and her own Conservative party, must now try to get the deal approved by her cabinet and, in the toughest test of all, by parliament.
Brexiteers in May’s party accused her of surrendering to the EU and said they would vote the deal down while the Northern Irish party which props up her minority government questioned whether she would be able to get parliamentary approval.

Here’s a prediction. In 5 years time the EU will lose more states. Why? The EU wants to replace the USA’s security guarantees with Germany’s and France’s. Poland will be faced with staying in the EU without NATO or leaving the EU and have USA protections. Other states will be making the same calculation. Today Merkel and Macron put their cards on the table for all to see.
British will lose first but will be better as a free country. The Soviet kind of the EU organization is a repeal for any country. UK is first but not the last one.
The EU leaders are all without vision. Think a EU military is visionary? That idea has been kicked around for 2 decades. The US wants to protect Europe and influence it - for many reasons- and the EU just likes it. There won't be a EU army for a few more decades. .nothing that could stand up to a top adversary in the next 50 years. This requires trillions to catch up. Think a Macron or Merkel who are both half dead politicians can pull that off? Of course they cannot. Also, Europe doesn't want any war. Neither with Russia nor China. It's just not our mindset after centuries of war and now finally peace for the last few decades.
