Brexit and European Unity

Over lack of cooperation, communication, and harmony, Europe leapfrogged into WW I, WW II, and the Cold War. The European Union provides an antidote to its members hopping off in different directions and turning into antagonists.  Brexit is a retrograde hop that could be followed by Frexit, Spexit, and a host of other exits. As Tony Blair and others have suggested, Britain should vote again now that the unfortunate implications of Brexit are better understood.  In the long arc of history, Russia and other countries could join the Union and a mighty force for democracy, environmental sustainability, and peace could become even stronger. England, stay put!
