Should Europe join the Kremlin?

[Hobbit XIII]

Maybe the UK and Europe have gotten it all wrong.

Maybe Europe should take their memberships out of NATO and join the Kremlin.

Why would I suggest this I hear you not asking yourselves.

The answer is simple, America is all powerful and all wonderful and all the countries of the world are always mean to them and to America all other countries are some kind of strategic and financial sponges of America's greatness.

So Europe could throw the NATO membership into the air, say ok Putin buddy, we will join you and use your wonderfully outdated methods of dark age governance and join your mighty empire.

then we do not have to go into a trade war with China, we do not have to worry about a war with Russia and we can just all laugh as America realises empire building on its own is just so gosh darn hard.

Europe is happy, Russia is happy, China is happy, America is happy.
Everybody is happy.

Everyone conveniently forgots when Russia wanted to join NATO back in 1991 after the Soviet Union did what every Communist/Socialist country does...

Imagine having to learn Russian. You think the French were mad about learning English for tourism and business purposes, how are they going to react when they'd be forced to learn Russian.

No, the U.S. has made its choice it wants to be special.

If it made any sense at all, you could have asked whether russia should join the eu. You misunderstand the cultural and power relations. Russia is a European country, and Russia has a fraction of the population and economic power of Europe. The question is diametrically opposed. Russia is a part of europe and not the whole.

We need a Northern European Alliance, from Greenland to the Bering strait.

No.

There is no way Russia would be able to join the EU at least not for quite some time to say the least.

Look at Georgia and how hard it can become for them to join the EU.
