I realized today I was right about my assumption that it is the refugee problem which caused Great Britain to leave the European Union. It is not the only issue but this and terrorist acts like the 130 dead in Paris and others likely are the reason that almost 52% voted for Brexit.
Because in the end it is not a sound Financial decision. It also likely will mean if people travel there from places like the U.S. and Europe that they might need a special visa now as well.
However, the details of all this are not well thought out at all. So, it will be years of trying to separate from the European Union in reality.
The country that benefits from this the most is Russia because Russians are happy the EU is weaker by far without Great Britain in the EU and any sanctions against Russia over Ukraine and Crimea are going to be much harder to enforce without Great Britain there too.
The U.S. also faces a harder task in regard to Russian encroachment into eastern Europe as well even though the price of oil is mostly what is keeping Russia spending less money on Ukraine activities and more on Syria.
Russia is now spending Billions every month to keep it's soldiers, planes and missiles in Syria and fighting.
