Estonia joins the EU

[VetLegion]

No, it's soldouts. I got it from 1769 edition of Oxford dictionary, however it is rare, in fact I own the only copy..

Whatever it is they gave up the fight. Can't scratch their eggs now without approval from Belgium, not to mention their bananas. I prefer keeping my sovereignity in this regard.

I'm sure that you Winston, as a rather failed cryptoNazi in the respect that you are unable to hide it, after having spent most of your life «protecting minorities» for the sole reason of engrossingly satisfying your twisted caucasian psychosis in order to hide other of your shortcomings, you will have no problem finding truths to little teddy's literrary masterpieces.

Oh Christ the "new" "cold war" is on religion and not race.

Welcome Estonia !

The more countries join the EU, the tighter a new Berlin Wall shrinks around Russia. Hell, now we need visas to visit even the closest neighbours! F*ck this goddamn EU

[Spiffor]

The Vagabon:
When do you join then ?

[The Vagabond]

Spiffor: unfortunately this matter is not on the agenda. We can't even break the visa circle yet. The EU can expand for all that we care. But conditions for the Russian people should not become worse as a result of the expansion. That is if we are friends, of course.

About the same time you let Cuba become a state in USA

They practically were from 1898 until the revolution of 1959. In fact Cuba came with in three votes of being annexed by the US at the end of the Spanish American war.

Well, the Ottoman empire practically was a German protectorate at that time too

I'm torn, I like the EU in principle, but not when France and Germany steal money from other EU nations to subsidize thier worthless farmers.

DOWN WITH SUBSIDIES!!!

[Odin]

Turkey shouldn't be allowed into the EU untill they stop thier human rights abuses on the Kurds.

You mix different things, don't you ?

First, it's France, and soon Poland, who 'steal' money from other countries to subzidize their farmers. More precisely, an agreement that was reached decades ago, and that France staunchly defends is that agricultural subsidies are the affair of the EU. Basically, it means EU countries pool their funds for subsidies, and they give an appropriate part of the funds to the countries that 'need' them.
Since Germany is the richest country in the EU, it pays the most. And since it has very few peasants, and a much less important agriculture than France (EU's top farming country), it gets much less money. In the end, we Frenchmen 'steal' money to the Germans

Second, there is something completely different happening now: EU countries have agreed a few years ago to keep the same budgetary discipline, so that nobody tanks the Euro (and the growth of the whole Euro-zone) by doing anything they want with their public expenses. Currently, France and Germany are not honoring their part of the contract, meaning they do less sacrifices than other countries, they profit from others' sacrifices. And this is indeed theft.
