Re: The EU and Russia.
I've never really understood why we are always told to fear Russia, they from what I understand have never done anything to us at all. In fact when faced with a mutual enemy fought against them too.
They have a different way of life to us but fearing communism always seemed very strange it could never happen here and Russia has never tried to impose if on us.
I don't like many things they do, their treatment of anyone different in their own country bring one of them but we need to talk to them to achieve any change in that not cut ourselves off from them.
I've only ever met two Russians both nice people both had more in common with us than I expected. Both also loved their country.
I think they have more to worry about from Eu than we do from them. Eu has poked and prodded and if they get bitten it will be their own fault IMO
USA has always had a rather stupid fear of communism almost like they can't trust their own people not to become communists
