Echoing the idea accepted by the European Commission about the entry into the EU, Iceland, that country very near the north pole comes to a discussion idea might not properly raised. What are the natural limits of the EU? We introduce territorial boundaries, cultural, social? Or rather, the idea of \u200b\u200bEurope is actually the idea of \u200b\u200ba great organ manager of international politics.
Since the last movements of adhesion to the Slav countries, former Soviet republics and the future integration of Turkey have taken a giant step, but to where?
Let's look at one side of enmity with Russia, that is, create a block antagonistic to their hegemony and invite their subordination in the sphere of European integration. Isofacto pass countries like Poland have the same weight as Spain in the whole EU, but with a very important strategic position. It is obvious that the EU have no state policy or whatever you want to call it, we depend on U.S. military power, which acts to favor the Americans, not Europeans. In this regard, USA camp in Eastern Europe leading to Russians, moving arms and creating military systems. If the Russians do the same, the bad guys will be the Russians. Then put the outcry when the Empire invades Europe Russian energy from one corner to another. ? But who can claim an isolated region with 27 voices and no common policies in areas such as energy, security, foreign relations ...?
Turkish Speaking of integration, positive or not, the fact is that its entry modify traditional structures. It is a country culturally different from the 27 EU members. It can mean the link to the civilized Islamic world, can be a great market for our products, etc, etc ... we must not forget that the percentage weight Turkey will be of great influence in the organs of government of the EU. In the Anatolian peninsula is home to about 70 million people. Would be the second most populous country in the EU and, therefore, the second in making SECT. ? It would mean this new challenge a destabilizing process? The Turkish people comes from the roots Byzantine, Ottoman and Roman. Connects Europe with Asia.
As appears, the time will lead to a succinct question. ? Mediterraneo is the natural border of Europe? It appears that the Union for the Mediterranean Europe Movement free market will eventually merge the banks of northern Africa to the common project. An example would be Morocco, a country of great potential and already has agreements advantageous trade with the EU. Spain is a country where major companies, a country where the industry would reduce costs, etc, etc ... Obviously, we face a legion of countries that should make internal order in the sense that they must eradicate the violent radicalism and terrorism. Countries should initiate a process of opening, moving a system of rights and freedoms to its people.
Meanwhile, under a global perspective, Europe is still asleep in the lauleres. While the countries with which borders and which resets the training operations of the armed forces of other countries are increasing and developing, Europe has not yet established a common army or even joint operations. It appears that Javier Solana on his day gave the green light to the creation of a European Defense Agency or a similar entity. It's a good idea, but very green.
The overall scenario is not rosy. China increases its defense budget noticeably every year, Morocco has doubled the defense budget this year, Venezuela is emerging as a military power in South America and is allied with Russians and Iranians. The Russians have not stopped development of weapons of intercontinental missiles. Conflicts like the one facing the countries of the Arab League in Israel, conflict and tension between Pakistan and India sleeping, etc, etc ...
European States and its allies live times peace and support armies but it is not easy and economical, should not lower our guard. Europe needs an army, not to make war, but to guard against any eventuality, any aggression. Because the only guarantor of our system of freedoms is a solid military structure.
