Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

but getting the entire Western Balkans into the EU has to be considered the "end game" for the EU

...they have the potential to destabilize the whole EU. Not every country needs to be an EU member!

I still think the 2004 expansion was stupid and misguided. Estonia and Slovenia were ready, possibly Malta too. The rest? No.

One thing is for sure, the differences were widely underestimated...and that's why I think we shouldn't make that mistake again with the Balkan countries. We have time!

Frankly I don't want any Balkan country in the EU...we have to many differences right now since the latest enlargement as it is...

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

This info appeared in Russian media as plausible.

Why is that plausible? That man Kononenko could also say the moon is made up of joghurt...would that be plausible too? Who is that guy?

I will wait for the german press to pick that up...till now there is nothing...so...

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

Not Merkel said that!

...the first deputy head of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc faction, Igor Kononenko, said....

And frankly...it's quite unbelievable!

Alone the accession protocol takes longer...even for stable new prospects. For difficult ones like Ukraine it could take decades (aka Serbia, Turkey)....

That's more realistic:

In July, it was reported that the Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko said that the goal of Ukraine is to join the EU by 2025. At the same time a month before that, he called another date - the year 2030.

Do you mean German tanks rolling in just as they did in 1939?

What do the Russians have to do "to join the rest of the human race"?

Yeah...when the Russians are not part of the "human race", then where stand we Germans...we were much worse!

Never heard of the norwegian study? If that is true not only for norwegians we get all dumber...

Off-Topic / Ukraine, Belarus, Russia in EU in 2030? [105]

It depends on the next 10-20 years, I think....

In the wake of Trump Europe needs to come to grips what it wants to be, where it wants to go...

Back to a more loosely connected trading bloc or the beginning of a "United States of Europe"...with a common government electable in all member states, common laws and rules, a common army, a common foreign policy etc.

Becoming a member of the first should be imaginable once you go through the accession protocol...the second is to far in the future to see.

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

Could it be because the Russian life span is about 59 for men and its population is shrinking?

Yeah...that is abysmal...can it really be all the Wodka everybody blames?

The West loves democracy and self-determination until it benefits Russia. Is that it?

Na ja, it isn't as if Putin gives a sh'it about it either...after all his support for the secessionists with money, public and weapons he is not really the victim here.

Imagine other countries could get the idea that a border change would be the thing to strive for..

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

Not killing journos and poisoning critics, not supporting secessionists and helping himself to some extra territories would be a good start...letting gays alone would be a nice touch too.

But migrants don't feature in that list...that's one topic they have already checked (better than Germany I would add):

Russia maintains one of the world's most liberal immigration policies; anyone who works in Russia for five years and develops fluency in the Russian language can become a citizen....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Russia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_Russia

...The large non-Slavic immigrant populations arriving in response to Putin's liberal policy have sometimes been met with xenophobia; to counter this, the Russian state has shut down various anti-immigrant group.

Tha manly man Putin is quite pro-immigration...who would have thought, huh?

PS: Crowie better hurry with his slavic empire thingy...

Off-Topic / Russophiles can no longer defend their beloved Russians. [84]

but are you compatible with the Turks and the current refugees?

Not really, no...it also works only in small doses.

Germans and Russian may not be compatible, but, in my opinion, you would be complementing each other in a way I just mentioned.

Maybe we are to big for each other? I just dunno, Rich....

Germany and Russia should be allies.

I wonder if that would be possible at all.

The dream of a russo-german alliance is old (even before Catherines times), the advantages for both clear, but are we compatible? Social, mental, cultural?

many admired Mother Teresa.

Na ja, but she was rarely seen as a rival to the own gov head either... :)

Thus we can tell something about the Russian domination in Eastern and Central Europe.

Yeah....I'm glad it's over and I can't understand people going all nostalgic over it.

No naked male breast on a horse can convince me otherwise...

Yeah, we, Americans, are pussies because we like Putin more than that gender-confused, metro-sexual idiot we had to suffer with for 8 long years.

I wonder how far that "liking" goes...the number of USians immigrating to Russia wanting to live under Putin's system is quite limited, isn't it?

Could you post a link to these polls?

Genealogy / Mongolian the Golden Horde - do Poles have Mongolian ancestry? [256]

But that's what happens to a country that starts "Total War" and then loose.

Oh please...they raped what they got, even newly freed inmates of the concentration camp for women, Ravensbrück!

individual.utoronto.ca/jarekg/Ravensbruck/LastDays.html

...When Soviet forces liberated the subcamp at Neustadt-Glewe, "they raped all the women and girls: Jewish, Hungarian, German-it didn't matter."

That revenge rape myth may for you maybe kind of consoling, but it just isn't true:

....But he admits that he was "shaken to the core" to discover that Russian and Polish women and girls liberated from concentration camps were also violated.

..."That completely undermined the notion that the soldiers were using rape as a form of revenge against the Germans," he said.

He is Russia`s citizen, alright.

Think about it just a moment when you play with other peoples future again, Crowie! Your future slavic empire would contain automatically many millions of such people.

What are you gonna do with them?

What is typical to a leaders of a countries which were a large empires once.
