I honestly think we have more in common with Russia than not (chrisitans with the same values most europeans have). They basically are europeans, 80% of their population live in the european part of russia, instead of the asian part. I would sooner see Russia part of EU, than Turkey. *edit: Russia is frekking huge, supposedly the biggest country in the world, spaning about 1/8th of the inhabitable land area. On most maps you dont really get right sense of just how big. |
Russia is also so anti-EU and anti-NATO that they're willing to invade European countries over them trying to join the EU and NATO. Almost all Russian media is state-owned just so they can broadcast anti-Western Europe propaganda all the time. It's also more than normal in Russia that the government's opposition gets arrested on bogus charges, and sometimes even gets shot. I'd rather see WW3 than Europe allign itself with Russian in Russia's current form. If Russia wants to allign itself with Europe, fine. Stop invading European countries and return their territory, stop the 24/7 propaganda and get up to Europe's standards.
