Putin proposes setting up 'Eurasian Union'

[Loki]

Some of us would rather not see Russia integrated into Asia and Islam. And yes, such a rival composed of Islam is bad for all of us.

You're too hung-up about the Russian-Islamic red herring. Ethnic Russians don't like Islam any more than Tea Party Americans do.

Russians are a proud people. My favourite Slavs.

Serbs and Poles. I dont hate common russian folk I just hate their government.

"Joe".......i think you tend to equivoke the russian intentions (or maybe you consider russians like stupids or fools)

The plan ISN't to integrate Russia in the Asian continent, loosing power and independece and being submerged by other ethnic groups (!!). I don't think this is the project of Kremlin. Rather.........they want reintegrate part of the asian continent (ex soviet territories) under the ethnic russian leadership.

USA/EU >< Russia/New USSR

I can occur with this, I know several Russians here in Australia, one of them hung round me in a class the entire semester, and she once said "I can't stand those arabs, they're disgusting and creepy."

I dont think that's possible, although a part of Europe Russia is very different (in many ways). Russia will never be a "true" european country.

'Interesting' in a very bad way, certainly, and more than enough reason for those dastardly North Americans to oppose it.

Russians may dislike Muslims, but they're set to be awash in them all the same. Something that isn't soon to happen to American Tea Partiers, I might add.
