You have a problem with mutton, DROOLY ANDREWS?

The "power play" bit you referenced, Isn't that a lot like how WWII began?

Not all the people want EU membership. It's mostly western Ukraine that wants to join. Not so much with the east. Not surprising since many eastern Ukrainians are ethnic Russians. Crimea didn't want membership either. In fact, they overwhelmingly voted to go with Russia. The whole Ukraine mess is the result of an EU power play. Originally Posted by cowboy8055

I suspect we would make a "power play" if our history were the same as Europe's with regard to the Russians.....in fact one might want to revisit the "beginnings" of the interstate highway system in this country as it relates to military strategy ..... modeled after the Pre-WWII German concept.
