Eu expansion

bamboozling · 2011-10-01 22:28:40

AH'ers where do you guys think the EU stops? Russia? Turkey? Albania? Will it go past the Black sea? Personally I don't see Russia or Turkey joining but I do see the likes of Georgia and Armenia possibly joining.

If Turkey joined it could be worrying for us.Here is a very interesting article written by a uk journalist. Substitute the word Ireland for England in the article and you will see what I mean.http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23975563-london-should-beware-if-the-eu-lets-turkey-join.do

The Eurovision tends to predict the next countries to join the EU. We're stretching West with Azerbaijan and South with Morocco and Israel, if the Eurovision 2012 is anything to go by. And it is. It's run by the illuminati.

I find it slightly strange that you comment on that part, and take the bit about the illuminati running the Eurovision to be completely true.

The whole concept of a European continent is fairly ropey. UEFA incorporates the likes of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in their qualification groups. Are they European?

Odd logic, given that Turkey is actively trying to get in and Armenia is significantly further East.
