I guess nothing is permanent, really

It just struck me that in my own life time I've seen Germany get back together, the Soviet Union come apart, Canada almost split, and Yugoslavia decide to just fuck it and kill everybody. Yet in all that time I'd never thought I'd see a scenario where the UK ceases to be the UK. That's just mindblowing and the new petition asking for a do over seems to indicate that I'm not the only one thinking this.

Frankly I figured I'd live to see a nuclear exchange long before the UK dissolved but hey, I've been happily disappointed every time so far in that prediction.

As for the nuclear question, I'm taking bets on who will start bombing everyone first: Iran or North Korea. I'm going with North Korea - but it will be a small/weak/dirty nuke.

The UK hasn't dissolved. It's merely seceded from the European Union.
