RmanDC, The Bush administration should stop trying to push NATO into eastern Europe. The proposed US missile system for Poland and Czech Republic is very provocative. This is like pissing into a cave inhabited by a large bear--and this animal has the TOPOL-M missile.

Just one problem with that. Russia has its own alliance with anti european SCO so clearly Russians don't want to join europe do they?! If anything Russia and We chinese are gonna destroy the EU someday to ensure Asian dominance in the future.

@mistapiccolo Im glad & live on a Island away from Europe. England needs to split from Europe. Attack the US in the mean time.

-- I do not see many people in EUROPE fighting with USA against RUSSIA , when it is very clear who is the IMPAERIALIST power ...

THERE is no possible way to win a WAR --- where Russia (Nucklear stockpile) and CHINA 300.000.000 soldiers ... IT is impossible , CHINESE do not have enough AK-47 to arm all of their soldiers .

I disagree, you're entitled to your opinion.

Viriathus we Russian are not european and were not your allies either, nor will we ever be. Give it up already.

3-only a EU/Russian aliance would already be smashing,and maybe then, the MAGNA EUROPA would emerge,from Novosibirsk to Lisbon.

2-US creates disputes between us, is not convenient for them our approach.

Despite that, our relations with Russia never have been so good,and lots of russians want to join EU, what really keeps NATO its that we have 37 % of share in the US economy,we cannot get out so easily,its why if US becomes fascist,we will have the motivation to remove everything we have there,and then nothing will prevent us from the inevitable union.

Russia historic background,and provenience is as a european civilization,of course there are asians in Russia.

where ends europe,and starts asia?

i think its more a cultural battle than a geographic division,its a complex issue.

europeans were asian peoples,that migrated,mostly from India,and lately Manchuria.

Manchurian ancient civilization streches from Japan to Hungary.

Russia and China may not be good alliesand we probably won't be in the future but that doesn't mean they wish to be european either. Many Russian aren't of European decent and Slavic Russian in a poll conducted identify themselves of being eurasian not european.

[mistapiccolo]

Is that why Russian and Chinese militaries work on joint excorsizes and are both nationaliazing our resources to limit european and western influence in central asia?

[ViriathusVingathor]

2-NATO is the only problem here,that makes us simbolicaly adversaries,and its a giant pitty.

Nato is all that stands between us.

We and Russians are in fact the same,NATO

will end,once US becomes fascist.

Europe will one day unite as a single nation.

it can last many centuries ,but that will happen.
