Today I thought about international politics and what's happening in the world. I came up with the following 3 issues and my positions on them in order of relevance:
1. Most important thing that is happening in the world right now is French elections. After extended inner deliberations my position is as follows: even though I like Marie Le Pen and have some overlapping views with her, I have firmly decided that her victory in French presidential race would spell disaster of unintended exponential magnitude, since it would be the beginning of the end of European Union and return to nationalist strife in European continent. Everything that was established after second World War, including peace most of all, would not only be threatened, but actively demolished.
2. Second most important development is UK exit out of EU. Most of you might be surprised, but I support it. I think UK is unique enough and strong enough to stand on it's own on international arena. Within EU England is prime destination for most migrant workers, because of it's strong economy and international English language. Whether one is pro or anti immigration, that fact can not be denied. With UK in the EU it would see never ending influx of immigrants and not necessarily diminishing one. On the bright side, since English is international language, London would not lose it's status as financial center of the world. Granted, it might lose some business intrinsically relating to EU, but it could also gain business relating to the rest of the world. Worst case scenario,- decade later we see UK begging to be allowed back in.
3. Instability in Ukraine. Solution- any sort of stability. That involves acknowledgement of Crimea as part of Russia. The rest is up in the air. As far as I'm concerned Ukraine might as well be re-incorporated into Russia with perhaps Lwow going to Poland, Carpathian Rusyns going to Slovakia and some Hungarian villages going to Hungary. In that case Moldavia could become part of Romania with Transnistria going to Russia and Belarus could also become part of Russia.
