The EU is intent of dominating Russia, first economically and then as logic dictates, militarily. The greatest threat to peace in the coming decade is the soon-to-be-unchecked bureaucratic monster in Brussels.

The EU is intent of dominating Russia, first economically and then as logic dictates, militarily. The greatest threat to peace in the coming decade is the soon-to-be-unchecked bureaucratic monster in Brussels.

Brussels may become a bureaucratic monster.  I'm not convinced that has to be a real negative for Russia.

Europe does a lot of business with China.  Why would Russia have to be any different?

If Russia behaves as a good neighbor, the trade between the two entities should be robust and productive.

Russia needs to get over the militaristic response to everything.  Nobody has grand designs on Russia, unless it's Russia's new bet ally ever China..
