      FUN FACT: European Union was long-term post-WWII plan, partly underwritten by the United States, to create a uniform European market to help minimize the likelihood of European states launching ANOTHER world war. http://www.historiasiglo20.org/europe/anteceden2.htm …https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1226914889438048256 …

      Another fun fact: Charles de Gaulle repeatedly vetoed efforts by the UK to get in, because he believed they were culturally hostile to the vision of a united federal Europe. (Or even deliberate saboteurs of it.) Well, you can’t say he was wrong!

          I'm still trying to come up with an example of a historical figure who more irresponsibly sabotaged his country than David Cameron.

          Well, in retrospect De Gaulle was right. Britain never should’ve been let into Europe in the first place. The project of unification would be much further along than it is now, if not for that original error.

          It's funny when you look back on history and see the people who actually were prescient.
