monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

And should Remainer May continue with her weaselly plan to circumvent the results of the Brexit referendum there will be even greater turmoil within the government and some of it is likely to spill into the streets (perhaps not affecting the sex lives of dogs and cats though).

"Russia" is not a living, breathing, thinking entity. To the extent it can be said to do anything, what it does is entirely dependent on the people in charge at the time. Putin was not in charge in 1991, or, obviously, when the Crimea was shifted from one USSR pocket to another.

I don't know the details of the original transfer well enough to know whether or not it involved a treaty being signed, but even if it had, such a treaty would have been a farce considering the Ukraine was not actually a sovereign state at the time and the USSR has been cast to the dustbin of history. Regardless of his character, Putin should not be expected to honor, abide by, or insist upon deals made by the USSR.

Note to the Director General from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation
On 26 December 1991 the Director General received a Note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation informing him that "the membership of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in the IAEA, in all its organs as well as in all conventions, agreements and other international legal instruments, which were concluded within its framework or under its aegis is continued by the Russian Federation (RF) and in this connection in the IAEA the name 'The Russian Federation' should be used in the place of the name 'The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'. The Russian Federation remains responsible in full for all rights and obligations of the USSR in the IAEA, including the financial obligations." The Note further states that it "constitutes credentials to represent the Russian Federation in the IAEA organs for all those currently possessing the credentials of the representatives of the USSR in the IAEA"

It's amazing, simply amazing, that our country existed for 200+ years before ICE did. Almost unbelievable really....

They should have gone back to the voters and made them vote on "leaving the EU", "leaving the Customs Union", and "leaving the Economic Area" (and any other agreement that might possibly be exited) as individual issues.

That's what they have tried to do in various "palns" - but there is no "cake-and-eat-it" part in Article 50.

I hear for the first time that May is a remainer

Where does Theresa May stand on Brexit?
Theresa May was against Brexit during the referendum campaign but is now in favour of it

But those same people she was trying to reach out to are unlikely to forget quickly that May was a ‘Remain’ supporter during the campaign.

Theresa May wasn’t one of the most vocal figures of the debate, but she stuck to the government line: that Britain would be better off remaining part of the European Union. As a high level cabinet Minister (May was the longest serving Home Secretary for over a century), this is not surprising.

She warned UK voters that Brexit could have seriously damaging effects on the economy, the security, and even the current form of the United Kingdom.

Though often quiet during the campaign, May said that leaving the EU would be “fatal for the Union with Scotland”, as the Scottish National Party (SNP) would most likely try again for independence if Scotland voted to remain while the UK as a whole voted to leave.

If Kennedy and Trump made a deal like that, they wouldn't admit it unless they had to. Who would?

How much of this is true?
