How did the EU lose anything?

They get to impose modern requirements when pieces of the UK want to rejoin

The UK wasnt part of the monetary union and all I guess is that some import export duties have to be reimplemented and now counted differently.

The EU losing the UK is like NATO losing France.

France was an original founding member of NATO but partially withdrew in 1966 for reasons not unlike the UK leaving the EU, populist nationalism. They returned 43 years later.

My guess is that Scotland will leave the UK and join the EU. Maybe in 50 years a rump England will apply to re-join.

UK is a cultural superpower with a global city where the lingua franca is the native thong. UK leaving EU is a significant loss for EU.

The analogy is lost on me and you still didn't explain what the EU lost

EU citizens can still get to London, UK citizens can still go on holiday in Europe

work visas are needed for more now

Was a cultural superpower. 100 years ago India was speaking british english, but now they're speaking american english, and watching american movies.
