Because we are not idiots
Russians hate it
What a moronic question. Even if the EU members wanted it (they don't), there's no way in hell Russia is ceding so much power and sovereignty. Especially with pic related in charge.
fpbp
because half the EU would leave the EU if Russia was allowed to join the EU
they would have the largest population and the most power though. it prevents all future sanctions by default. and it would a big fuck you to the usa. and if they join before ukraine does it would be top tier banter on a scale the world has never seen. I kinda want to see it happen.
Real question is
Why doesn't Australia?
thats what brexit is for. to make the prospect of leaving unthinkable. also everyone would have to agree in the first place so I doubt they would leave if they just agreed to let russia join.
Are you? Post your below 80 IQ my lad.
Пoд шкoнapь oбpaтнo зaлeзь, шныpь ёбaный.
>Ukraine
What's the point (beside a middle finger to russia) of allowing shitholes to join EU? Macedonia was recently added as well.
Maтyшкe cвoeй пpивeт пepeдaвaй, cкyчaeт нaвepнo бeз мoeй мoчи нa eблищe.
Because we’re a puppet of China.
Now I know why we never joined your club and I understand why the UK leaves.
Ukraine is extremely fertile
Well then we will have to make him retire then.
Because Russia isn't part of Europe.
Because it’s stupid to have hundreds of billions of euros granted to all levels of your society to develop it?
it will take decades before they could join,if at all
>Macedonia was recently added
membership negotiations were started, nothing more nothing less
Yes
Because we are idiots
Developed Europe desperately needs more people in the next decades with their flatlining birthrates. I'd imagine letting in white 98 IQ Ukrainians is better than brown 89 IQ muslim refugees from Syria.
EU already has brown countries. Grow up
Many Japanese people think that we would like to join the EU. We respect wonderful countries like Sweden as thay have good public welfare.
strategic reasons. ukraine is the soft underbelly of europe and russia. it has a lot of fertile land too. some of the best in the world in fact. why do you think the russians freaked the fuck out and annexed crimea when ukraine kicked out their russian puppet leader?
ukraine is in a good position to take out sevastopol and to cut of and encircle a large portion of russia. in defense the land is great for maneuver warfare. russia has an enourmous amount of tanks and afvs but russian doctrine is defensive they cant match natos airforce. thats why they have so advanced anti aircraft missile systems but those are defensive and while often mobile still pretty hard to use well in offense. in ideal circumstances for russia anti aircraft missiles (forgot how the russian ones were called) would be stationed all over ukraine and migitate the effects of nato air superiority to a large degree letting their superior number of mobile units work effectivly. with ukraine on nato/eu side they would have to send their tanks into areas where air coverage has not yet been established with superior enemy airforce presence. while also having a much wider front.
You're not nearly European, you cross-eyed monkey.
you are in it in all but name. you are practically just a non voting member just like norway. the deal that the uk refused would have bound it less to europe than switzerland is currently bound.
it wouldn't benefit their leader in any conceivable way, he much prefers his hundred million serfs
Why hasn't this thread been deleted yet? Every time I mention Russia in my threads it gets removed
Ukrainians are very low IQ
Thanks for the detailed explanation germanbro, so it's basically geopolitics with paranoia of russia taking over.
russia is just as, maybe even more, paranoid aswell
Putin has convinced them that they're the soviet union again
Why does China not join the EU?
Ukraine will never join NATO, not as long as Russia holds Crimea and there's fighting in the East.
fuck the EU, fuck the euro and fuck g*rmany
>Why corrupt shithole with subhuman population is denied entry in EU
No idea
not officially at first. but expect an american military base and missiles there within the decade.
Lol that applies to all Eastern Eurpean countries in EU.
Russia will never play second fiddle to Germany.
They will only join EU if they get to be the leader.
There is a day-night difference between EU eastern Europe and non-EU eastern Europe
This is correct answer, rare to see on Jow Forums.
I wish to breed Ukrainian women.
No way. Romania and Bulgaria are still poor shitholes.
Russia is probably around the same level as Poland.
USA is in decline. They're not putting bases anywhere.
Just compare stuff like Poland, the Baltics, Czechia and stuff like Belarus or Moldova
wrong. decline means a military buildup and heightened agression just before collapse.
>American decline is a term used by various analysts[1][2][3] to describe the diminishing power of the United States geopolitically, militarily, financially, economically,[4] in health and the environment.[5] There has been a debate between declinists, those who believe America is in decline, and exceptionalists, those who feel America is special.[6]
>Some analysts say that the U.S. was in decline long before Donald Trump ran for presidency; becoming the first presidential candidate to promote the idea that the U.S. was in decline.[2][7] While others suggest the decline either stems from[8][9] or has accelerated with[10][11] Trump's foreign policy and the "country’s ongoing withdrawal from the global arena."[11] According to Noam Chomsky, America’s decline started at the end of WWII, dismissing the "remarkable rhetoric of the several years of triumphalism in the 1990s" as "mostly self-delusion".[2]
>Gallup's pollsters recently reported that worldwide approval of U.S. leadership has plunged from 48% in 2016 to a record low of 30% in 2018, placing the U.S. a notch below China's 31% and leaving Germany as the most popular power with an approval of 41%.[12][13] Michael Hudson describes financial pillar as paramount, resulting from bank-created money with compound interest and the inbuilt refusal to forgive debts as the fatal flaw.[14]
>China's challenging U.S. for global predominance constitutes the core part of the debate over the American decline.[8][15][16]
This is what decline means.

This is decline.
dude, read the news sometimes, the EU tried the last years to pressure a framework on us because we vote on every single treaty and only pick the good ones. Guess what, we didn't take it, Switzerland is not gonna automatically adopt EU laws.
Instead Switzerland and the EFTA is in negotiations of giving the UK association status because with this and some legal massage they could keep their precious open border in Ireland with the EU without much hassle.
On a side note, making a political confederation so complicated and undemocratic that you can't leave once you have joined and you just have to run along with whatever happens forever is a stupid idea and truly German.

Won't work, the EU itself offered the UK an EFTA deal
What the fuck. Russian living standard cannot be compared with Poland´s. Most of the Russia looks like a bad dream.
>making a political confederation so complicated and undemocratic that you can't leave once you have joined and you just have to run along with whatever happens forever is a stupid idea and truly German.
thats wrong though. starting the process of leaving was extremly simple its the incompetence of the brits that makes it hard.
and thats because they dont know what they fucking want, if they want close ties to europe, wich means open borders because ireland demands it to keep the good friday agreement intact. or no deal at all. europe being undemocratic or complicated has nothing do to with anything. its not much more complicated or less democratic than most goverments, not everyone lives in switzerland.
and as for switzerland rejecting laws, sure you can reject some. but due to your position surrounded by the eu from all sides there is still strong pressure to accept many treaties. its soft power, the eu cant order switzerland to do anything but its still very strong influence.
EU can't offer EFTA deals, EFTA can offer EFTA deals. EFTA won't accept UK as a full member because of fishing disputes with Norway and Iceland (fucking Vikings are fierce about this one), so Switzerland tinkers something with an "Association status" that can be done on the quick and has no lasting obligations for the UK but lets them safe face and buys time for a permanent solution.
The EU offered a Norway+ deal which is basically an EFTA deal, even if EFTA doesn't let them in they get the same basic rights
Well according to Putin he was open to the idea of Russia joining Nato and EU in early 2000. I would unironically support that if they could get rid of the oligarchy and corruption
There is no fixed process for leaving the EU at all and what makes it hard is that Jean Claude Junker and the commission want to make an example of the UK to deter anyone else from even thinking about leaving.
The EU is a shitshow run by Bureaucrats and designed to take the political power as a far away from the people as possible because the good politicians of Europe know it so much better than the people. And yes, we do get a lot of your "soft" power, the fact remains, we don't join your club and we don't follow your laws and we keep voting on our own business.
Norway+ included an EEA membership, which basically means adopting 70% of EU regulations without a vote and the UK didn't want that either.
There's no way they can keep the border with Ireland open without that
Why? We have open borders with you and we are not EEA.
while it would be based to make an example of the uk we arent doing so. the backstop is the red line for the eu because ireland demands it for good reason. they dont want the conflict to flare up again. the brits dont want the backstop under any circumstance. they are the idiots for trying to leave when they have severe unresolved issues and peace treaties relying on them being in the eu.
I think you misunderstand. the uk does not want open borders its their main point. and the main point of conflict with the eu, because we insist on open borders if they want a deal to keep the good friday agreement intact.
Switzerland follows many EU regulations
Also it took decades to agree on that deal iirc
>Letting Nigeria join
Point of the Eu is to isolate Russia. Why would we screw ourselves?
>russia
>powerful
lmao stuck in the cold war aren't ya
leaving would have been easy if they'd actually had any sort of idea of what they actually wanted to gain from leaving, but they didn't and still don't
Please, the EU has proudly announced to make it extra hard on the UK, hurt their business, demand huge amounts of money and put the falcons in charge of negotiations and they clearly stated this is to deter any copycats.
So don't pretend now to be super easy.
Thats not true, the UK does not want a hard border in Ireland and wants to keep the current deal. However the EU uses this to pressure the UK and stated that if the UK leaves without a deal, the EU will close the border. So the EU is gambling with the peace in northern Ireland and risking an old war start anew just to deter the UK from leaving. en.wikipedia.org
So what is the deal with Ukrainians? They are dumb pretty people?
>Thats not true, the UK does not want a hard border in Ireland and wants to keep the current deal. However the EU uses this to pressure the UK and stated that if the UK leaves without a deal, the EU will close the border.
Nobody wants an hard border in NI. The entire backstop the EU wants the UK to agree on is to avoid an hard border, it doesn't make sense for Europe to close it if there are other solutions
But if they crash out without a deal it wouldn't make sense for the UK to keep it open, it would be like no Brexit at all
8000 nukes is pretty powerful
Isn't Austria a founding member?
they dont fucking want the backstop. they rejected mays deal a million times and johnson doesnt want the deal either. wikipedia quotes mays position as the position of the uk. and her position from three years ago. your source is trash. if they leave without a deal we have to close the borders. its law. without a deal they are no different than any other fucking country.
they have a deal that they can take, or they can fuck off.
Only 1550 of them are pointed at the USA and they only have like 4000 to hit Europe.
Not enough to cause nuclear armageddon.
first, that map was made by a finn and is notorious for being shit
but they probably just have worse education culture due to all the various problems in their country
this is the equivalent of asking a wolf to be controlled around by a rabbit
>Not enough to cause nuclear armageddon.
if you mean total extincion as nuclear armageddon then no its not enough. but fuck up civilisation for decades or centuries then yes its enough.
IQ tests are stupid. The more you're used to multiple answers tests and quizzes the better you'll do in them
It is basically western hypocrisy.
When China develops new missiles that threaten american bases in asia, it is "a threat to regional stability, a new arm race started by the evil chineses" or something.
When the US do the same in Ukraine, it is "my border, my choice".
this is the truth, what an IQ test measures first and foremost is how good a person is at solving IQ tests, and while IQ test results do give some meaningful information about differences within a very similar group of people, matching results between different demographics or even foreign countries is a lot harder
>Point of the Eu is to isolate Russia.
lmao
that's the point of nato, not the eu
How the fuck would you regulate all the bumfuckery and corruption in Russia considering how massive it is? How do you know the funds going to the small local politicians on the other side of country aren't stolen and misused?
Lol
In the EU the goals and opinions of a handful of large countries decide things. Smaller countries can be compensated or pressured where necessary to follow the motion. It's only natural.
Thus countries like Serbia can always join for the purpose of spreading the influence of those large countries.
Russia joining on the other hand changes the balance of power between the large influential members, which is not what they desire right now.
This is why Russia will never join the EU unless the geopolitics change.
>Open borders with Russia
>They dump their churkas and bydlos on naive Swedes
From their perspective the EU would be great for them
Like there is Swedes left in Sweden.
The russian car crash compilation videos say otherwise
nato - military isolation of Russia
EU - economic isolation of Russia
>and if they join before ukraine does it would be top tier banter on a scale the world has never seen
make it happen, ukraine civil war would be the biggest joke of the century literally fighting for nothing

stop posting this thread
Is Russia this great that the west need to isolate us? I'm proud now!
EU would exploit Russia's vast land and resources and best down and destroy Russian national sentiment
?
