We want a United States of Europe says top EU official

russia also has no european values. If we let russia in, we can also let japan in.

Well, I would say that Eastern European (Slavic) culture is closer to Russia than to Western Europe. Even in terms of religion, (various forms of) Orthodox Christianity is common between these countries. My impression (may be wrong) is that Eastern Europeans are more religious/conservative (like Russians) than Western Europeans.
 
topple them out of office :D

We did in 2012.The current ones may not be the most correct bunch of politicians but they did managed to raise the procentage of absorbed EU funds from 7 to 34% within a year and bring 2.8% growth out of recession.

That can´t be said. Italians are very conservative and many aspects. Same about portugal and certain regions of germany like Bavaria.
 
Unlikely.

Russia, the former superpower who kept America awake, will not play second fiddle to Germany and France.

Russia is interested to carve out its own empire, with itself as the unchallenged leader of the pack.

Russia and, more specifically, the Eurasian Union will be one of the global players in the 21st century. And some Eastern European countries - Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro - certainly join this Union. And many Asian - Central Asia, Mongolia, Syria, Vietnam possible.
Eurasian Union will be more powerful than the Soviet Union was in its time.
True Christian values of the white race remains only in Russia. In Europe now ruled not Christ - sodomites do. And things will become worse every year.

You know, at one of my favorite forums Военное обозрение once was a discussion. Young guy 19 years old, who was born after the collapse of the USSR, but many have heard about this country from parents and adults asked - how could it happen that the USSR collapsed?
One man told him: "You shall love the Motherland, protect the weak, fear of conscience - then the USSR back."
These words sank into my soul.
I believe that we will build a new socialist Orthodox society.
Not even Orthodox - Spiritual

And we build a new roman empire.
 
Turkey is set to grow at 5% a year till 2020.

Euro area is expected to grow at 1% a year till 2020.

EU needs Turkey more than the other way round.

Just because Turkey has high GDP growth, it does not mean the EU needs Turkey!

Turkey has a large population, the vast majority of which is poor. If Turkey joined the EU then a significant proportion of its population would emigrate en masse across Western Europe in search of a better life. But you see, Western Europe doesn't want or need millions of poor uneducated Turks coming to their country!!!

Also if millions of Turks leave Turkey, then it count have negative implications for future Turkish GDP growth! A shrinking labour force and a "brain drain" would surely stunt Turkish growth and development.

The current situation is the best for Europe, which is: The Turkish economy is growing fast, and the more it grows the more it buys EU exports.
 
In East we have the stronger nationalists,who feel that their countres are being absorbed by the West.
If that's the case then why do all those east European countries joint the EU in the first place ? Wasn't countries like Romania desperate to join ?

The United States of Europe will never work because the people don't want it. The peoples of Europe don't see themselves as citizens of Europe or a Union. But the people still see themselves as Germans, French, Greeks etc. The EU is seen by most people in Europe as no more than a bureaucratic entity. There are too many members in the EU right now to make it functional. Every single of the 28 members of the EU has a veto right to block any initiative in the EU. The current structure is build for 6 countries back in the 1950's not the 28 of today.

The EU as a world power on the scale of the US is a joke. We have most of our gold reserves in US vaults, we are dependent on the US for our security (NATO). There are about 100000 US troops stationed across Europe. Do you see any foreign troops stationed in the US, China or Russia ? When Greece got into trouble the EU wasn't able to resolve the issue internally but had to go to the IMF and that means we needed USD's for the FED to bail the Greeks out ie we needed the Americans.

That made me laugh. But seriously, none cares about Russia anymore.
 
Prince Ivan III in 1472 married to the Princess Sophia (Zoe) Palaeologus, niece of the last Byzantine emperor Constantine.

Honest question, how do you want such a empire be look like? One that spans all europe? germany, italy, france and so on?

You think this is the first time in our history? It was a lot worse. We always rose from knees.

No. You build the Western Roman Empire, and we - the Byzantine one. You believe in Western Christianity, and we in the East. This parallel projects, though something similar.
