    We should think as United States of Europe / Not United States of Europe… Being between to power hungry “president” should push EU to move toward federalism but only after Ukraine and Moldova joined (and I’m sorry for Switzerland that will be stucked in the middle of one country: your fault for that 😛 )

      Don’t worry for us, we will be happy to see a united Europe, that might even convince the old swiss-german to vote “ja” this time. We’ll stay open for you guys, specially if you buy our chocolate, watches and some weapons parts.

      In my vision for our future (call it science fiction), Europe as a continent is a federal block, including Russia. One big colour on the map, from Atlantic to Pacific (a friendly and peaceful colour, one that prefer having orgies and eat good food but that will wreck you if you annoy it).

      I am also for more European integration. There needs to be a vision though that Russia is part of Europe and when we are past Putin, we need to be able to integrate Russia, if they want to, rather than going for the next confrontation.

        there are 2 problems with that:

        1. We are not sure the successor of putin will not be worst than him
        2. We have yet to see if russia will stop their hybrid war on EU when the peace is signed in Ukraine. (hybrid war that started waaaayyyy before the Ukrainian invasion, during the middle of the 00’)

        Trust between russia and all others european countries are really heavily damaged. The east part of the EU will needs decades before they can decide not to veto anything positive to russia. Poland is the new gravity center of EU and still has yet to forgive WW2 invasion and the split of it’s country.
