"But Juncker appeared to rule out any new postponement, leaving British lawmakers with a simple choice: deal, no deal or revoke Brexit."

That's always been my point of wonderment ... Britain doesn't get to decide when it gets booted out of the EU, the EU decides. Afaik, everything else going on the the British Parliament is noise.

Been following the Brexit saga mostly thru The Duran since one of them is a transplanted Greek living in Britain.

It's clear that The British Political Establishment (the former PM Theresa May, the British Supreme Court, Tony Bercow Speaker of the House of Parliament, and many of the MPs) have been fighting Brexit tooth and nail, often surreptitiously since their electorate often wanted something different. This was an especially acute problem for the Conservaive Party, whose electorate is most definitely pro-Brexit.

According to the Duran, there is a split in the EU Council which decides whether to grant an extnesion or not. Merkel doesn't want Brexit at all and is more than happy to extend the decision indefinitely (Britain is a makor market for German cars abd Germany has entered into a recession) while Macron (supposedly the big EU integrationist) has been angling to kick Britain out. They suggest that Macron and Johnson have a deal - that the Council will grant an extension but only if Labor agrees to a general election (which would solidify Johnson's Conservative Party's hold on power.)

Assuming that all of this is true, all of the "political" reasons for Macron to that that position ... that Britain has been a thorn in the EU's shoe ever since accession, that Macron and Merkel are having a snit-fit with each other etc doesn't make any sense given the gravity of Britain leaving the EU.

I think these politicians are all order takers, not order makers. The British political establishment is probably beholden to The City of London (That portion of London which contains all of the British bank HQs and which makes its own laws; British banking is a huge money-laundering operation thru its overseas territories such as the Caymans and jersey https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-finance/london-the-mo
ney-laundering-capital-of-the-world) and the City of Londion surely doesn't want to lose access to EU banks.

But Macron himself is a banker (Rothschild) and aren't all bankers integrationists?

What interest might Macron have in booting Britain out?

If I had to take a guess I think that Macron wants to see a stronger Euro currency because that's what his bank wants to switch to (or is already in). But one big German bank (Deutsche Bank) is on the verge of imploding thanks to its heavy involvement is derivatives (all priced in dollars BTW) and many of the British banks are equally involved in speculation, and so he's looking for a financially sound partner to cling to which would be ... Russia. That might explain his bizarre speech attempting to woo Russia back into Europe, and his recent veto on adding North Macedonia and Albania to the EU.

But what does this have to do with Britain?

British deep state is staunchly anti-Russian even more so than the USA, if that can be believed. Also, Britain has its own currency and follows it's own financialist path. I think for these reasons, Macron sees British banks as a major stumbling block to his desire for a stronger Euro currency. Also, constantly adding economically strapped states to the EU doesn't help. So I believe it all revolves around the position of the Euro in international finance, and that you can explain/predict what Macron will do on whether it will help or hurt the Euro.

As background, I recall that several years ago Putin was speculating on replacing the dollar with the Euro as their trade currency. Having been stiffed by USA-pushed sanctions and thrown into the arms of China, and also watching the EU unravel, Putin has probably tossed those plans in the trash. I don't think that Macron and the Rothschild bank is going to be able to "invest in" (lend money to) Russia but Russia probably would be open to trading bilaterally in the Euro, so better relations wth Russia might not get much joy for the banks or Macron, but it MAY help trade.

I think these are all adjustments ... like little earthquakes around a major fault line ... and the fault line is de
