In a crass and ill-timed intervention, the unelected president of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy has warned Vladimir Putin that the EU intends ultimately to control every country on the western flank of Russia.
In an interview with De Standaard newspaper, Van Rompuy speaks about his dreams that all the Balkan states will join the EU. He calls it an inspiring thought that in the long term the whole of European territory outside Russia will be tied in some way to the EU.
He admits he does not know if there is public support for such a move, But we do it anyway.

Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they are not out to get you.

Basically, the New World Order threatening the Old World Order. But if Van Rompuy wants to grab a rifle and march off to Moscow, it’s already been tried. But I wish him well.

In the case of Ukraine it certainly appears as if the majority of its people *want* a closer alliance with the EU.Of course the EU is a very “imperfect” entity but it's light years better than the USSR 2.0 so the Ukrainian people's wishes are logical.Given the choice of being under the EU’s “boot” or the USSR’s I'd take the EU with a millisecond of hesitation.It's Vlad and his reconstituted USSR who's the aggressor here...not the EU or the Ukrainian people or government.
