Re: E(USSR)
It was poor the first time it was posted - it is no better even with the typo's corrected.
In a direct EU/USSR/Russia link.....
I suspect that the Baltic states who are now members of the EU were more than a little grateful that they had those ties in place when Mr Putin was flexing the muscles of Russian military might on the Ukrainian border.
I will readily acknowledge that the EU is not without issues, many serious that need to be fixed. I do not believe however that it is as yet irredeemably damaged beyond recovery. I do believe that such a recovery is better assisted by us staying inside and working from within to rectify the problems.
Is it more difficult than tearing the whole edifice down and starting again - certainly.
But in the period of fixing it, we maintain the relative peace that has characterised the last 50 years in Europe - we hold Mr Putin in check.
