An existential identity crisis


Brexit dilemma: A placard saying ‘No Deal’ stands in front of a Union Jack flag near the Houses of Parliament in London. From the voting pattern in Parliament, it does seem that the mood to remain within some kind of European Common Market seems achievable, because no one liked a No Deal Brexit — Bloomberg

Having visited Washington DC, London and Beijing in the last fortnight, the eerie feeling is a perspective of confused existentialism. In Washington, the mood is “My Way or No Way”; in London, “If Brexit, May Exit”, and in Beijing, “One Belt, One Road”.

Events recently demonstrated that going forward, anything is possible. The long-awaited (but as yet unpublished) Mueller Report is seen as a simultaneous victory for both Republicans (no collusion) and Democrats (obstruction of justice).
