The Observer leads with a piece of the most blindingly obvious scaremongering you’re likely to see. They’re telling us that the European Union – well, the Commission, that pit of federasts – is wargaming the fall of Theresa May and what that might mean for Brexit negotiations. Well, yes, and? What does anyone think wargaming is?
Wargaming being to think out well, if I do this then they might do that. Or possibly they’ll do this other. And if they do either or this third thing then what am I going to do? That is, wargaming is just another name for thinking.
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Revealed: EU war-gaming for fall of May’s governmentThe logic behind the process of thinking is “I’d like to achieve this. So, in the varied universe of possibilities and actions of others, how might I achieve my goals?”

Yes, of course, we all agree the Commission are evil, some are drunk, all are vastly worse in that they’re federast and so on. But we’re not usually saying that they’re actively stupid. Thus the idea that they might think through the moves to gain what they desire shocks us in what manner?
A little story to illustrate. As we know on 1 April the media likes to run the fake/joke stories as a little April Fools. That TV one on the spaghetti harvest, BMW did some years of fun spoofs as ads. The White Cliffs of Dover going green from moss. One that sticks in the mind was the Telegraph.
They’d uncovered the plans the US had to invade Canada in 1939/40 etc. How we all laughed, for of course we were at the time near at least allies and they weren’t going to invade London, Ontario just because London, Middlesex fell to the Nazis. The joke being much better because of course the Americans did have plans to do just that. The military always has plans to do just about anything within the realms of physical possibility. Because that’s what the military does, makes plans for things it might have to do. The process being called wargaming.
So why would we be surprised that the EU is wargaming what might come next? Federasts and evil they are, but stupid enough not to think?

I'll go further, I'm demanding the fall of Theresa May. Today. Followed by leaving the EU immediately. Wargame that, Jean-Claude.
There's clearly a non-trivial probability that the slow-motion car-crash created by the Remainiacs in Parliament will lead to the end of May. But who will replace her - that's the difficult thing to predict. It's not as though the current Tory benches are stuffed full of obvious contenders.
Any war game to finish what we started in 1776 would founder on the realization by President Trump that we really don't need any more blue states.
