Russia has been very effectively neutralised by a concerted effort to encourage former USSR states to join the EU expansion project. Throw a bit of money at Ukraine and Belarus and maybe more bits will leave. Chechnya and Georgia next?

Although Russia has a large land mass, its population is only a little more than 120million. They could easily be defeated by two EU countries.

I thought the policy was unfair, I guess I was wrong. Whatever.
