He's very excited to see what's happening in many nations right now. We're starting to look like a Jenga tower as it starts quivering and wobbling a bit more with each move.

Btw, I have trouble understanding UK politics, and found Nick Cohen's Guardian article from yesterday on the status of Brexit and Parliament a lot easier to follow than most. It doesn't mention Bannon by name, but does discuss the government's RW extremists and their hopes for a "no-deal" Brexit (no deal as in with the EU would be just a plain exit/severing) and the disaster that would mean for UK, including for London as one of the planet's main financial centers.

A big step forward for archconservative Bannon and Putin types.
