10,000 troops from 13 countries including Canada arrive in the UK for major exercise conveniently at the same time Brexit is scheduled (March 29)

For anyone who isnt following Brexit.

Basically the UK if they leave with no deal ends up with a huge benefit. >$40billion in money coming back to the UK every year. The wealth escaping the UK is huge.

They had a non-binding referendum whether or not to leave the EU; but the government at that time agreed to push it through. They filed the paperwork and Brexit is happening now.

Now, the new government has been dragging their feet because they want a 'deal' whereas they wish to continue free trade and such like several other countries have. The EU countered with a deal that's absolutely batshit insane. The EU is treating the deal like as if they hold all the cards; when in reality it's actually the opposite case because the UK has been greatly losing in the relationship.

So the existing government is going to parliament with the deal and the people who want to stay in the EU are even opposing it because of how bad the deal is. The UK politicians are in complete agreement that these deals are insane.

Worse yet, the political parties which are protesting and saying to withdraw with no-deal. Because no-deal would be fantastic for the UK. The UK government has been caught fabricating evidence. Arresting innocent people charging them with crimes they never committed. The judges are pissed off and throwing the cases out. The police then turn around and arrest these people again for the exact same charges. Because the UK doesnt have double jeopardy laws.

Basically there's political prisoners in the UK over this. There's major protests going on.

Then they finally agreed that they do want a deal with the EU... and will accept extension. Which will cost them $1billion a month. So the extension will cost them $3 billion and on June 30th they'll exit.

Mind you, they are exitting. This is a matter of the deal and if the EU doesnt agree to a reasonable deal. It'll just keep getting denied and on June 30th Brexit will happen without a deal.
