Well it could be stranger, Trump becoming president of a independent Scotland. Now that would be totally ASB.
And if Trump becomes president of the United States it would become reality. |

They said that about Trump's candidacy. And of the United Kingdom voting Yes. |

I don't think even he would do that, no matter how much they blocked his plans for his golf course. That is a reason for him to invade Scotland, because he was not allowed to build a golf course. |

The exit vote came as a surprise to a lot of people, myself included but I wouldn't say no one thought it was impossible. [Other than those who were prehaps driven more by their desires than facts on the ground]. In terms of the Russian annexation of the Crimean I think a hell of a lot of people were against it but, short of NATO, or at least significant members of it, supporting the Crimean very strongly, I don't think Putin achieving his aims were that surprising. The Ukraine lacked the military force to block the Soviet invasion and also I think many people in the Ukraine couldn't belive they would be treated that badly. I did say at the time that it could be Putin's equivalent of the annexation of rump Bohemia in early 39 and there has been a stiffening of the west's stance against further Russian military conquests but so far nothing decisive to block further moves by him that I can see. |

Well the 2016 ASB year is not over yet, a lot still can happen of which we should think, who the hell toughed that was possible. |

Hopefully there are no more major shocks, other than good ones such as politicians actually keeping their word [which is totally ASB I know] but I'm not going to put the house on it. Especially since we still have > 40% of it to go yet. |

You right we still have many days to go to see if we live in a ASB world or in the real word when the next president of the United States is elected. |
