It's all depending really on what sort of deal they strike with the EU isn't it. I don't think any of us really knows whether it will be some sort of single market/friends with benefits deal or a full out yet. Other countries do have a vested interest in wanting the UK to stay in free trade deals as they don't want to have to export to us under tarriffs so no one can say yet what they will be willing to compromise on or not. At the moment I think all this my way or the highway talk from people like Tusk is bluster until they actually start talking. I don't think anyone can call it a disaster at this point.
