Would it be better if both Russia and Ukraine joined the EU and made Europe stronger and united? Why is Russia against joining the EU while the likes of Turkey wished to?
UK and USA would never allow it. Unity of German industry and Russia resources is biggest threat to them
Well the EU is not exactly a democratic bloc because the commission heads are unelected bureaucrats placed there by oligarchs and insiders which is very little different in theory to the factions in charge of Russia lording it over the Russian peoples. The same can be said for the 2 party systems in place in both the US and UK.
What would be better is a truly democratic superblock containing all the northern regions from US,Canada,Greenland,Iceland,Baltics,UK,Ireland,EU and Russia along with regional blocks like Japan,Australia,New Zealand and any other countries that oppose communism and totalitarianism. Of course the US,Canada EU ,Russia and even Australia would have to become less authoritarian before this could ever happen.
If this ever happened then who could ever be a threat to such a bloc?
