I said the Soviet Union, not the European Union.

And by what measure do they have anything resembling 87% of the economic output of the USA?

Also, is there an easy link to showing that the former member states of the USSR do indeed have population about the same as the USA?  Russia itself is less than half.   Never mind. 

The industrial output of the USSR in 1986 was 87% of the industrial output of the US. But declined sharply after the fall of the SU.
