But if the UK leaves EU then Europe will fall flat on it's face. I think the UK can manage their own currencies. Heck why don't they team up with Australia and become a duel nation of it's own. Isn't that what they want?

Patton did not say 'nuts', but I cannot remember who did! (it was during the siege of Bastogne, Belgium)

Now this is an attention grabber. It leaves me, as a first impression, asking a simple question. Have we no true allies as we see the world any longer? Is Britain 'Just another country' on par with every other nation in the world for treatment and solutions? It would seem so, at least to some.
It's a bad thing to consider as the US is anything but in a position of strength itself, at the moment. It may be we who need help in the foreseeable future. If we have burned traditional 'Brother' nations, and Allies among Allies for profit and political advantage.....who will stand and give aid to us if the time ever does come to ask?

Scare mongering, as with Germany, the USA know how important we are for European trade. Take us out of Europe and it is no more, the USA would HAVE TO renegotiate every trade deal whilst the EU crumbles.
In the long run, it's easier to berate and isolate us, then wait for the inevitable.

Sadly, even if the Brits say 'No', the puppeteers will have them vote again and again an again, until the outcome is to their liking. In my country citizens didn't get asked to begin with, since the government was certain we probably would say 'No' as well. I know I would have.

The UK will still be trading with Europe regardless, 'business is business', many obfuscate this insinuating leaving the EU means no trade with EU members , absolutely absurd.
