After Trump they are also happy in Russia (bit awkward).

 

According to the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, the United States blamed the referendum results on Russia. Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul said that the election results were “a great victory” for President Vladimir Putin's foreign policy. 

"Not always, but tonight is giant victory for Putin's foreign policy objectives. Give him credit,” McFaul wrote on Twitter Thursday.

"Putin did not cause the outcome; he just benefited from it," McFaul posted on Twitter on Friday. 

Business ombudsman Boris Titov said that the long-term consequences of the referendum would separate Europe from the United States.

“This is not the independance of Britain from the European Union, it's the independance of the European Union from the United States,” he wrote on Facebook.

In 10 years it will be possible to talk about a United Eurasia, he added.
