Johnx - spot on, so that's why no one takes it seriously; of course an EU report will be anti-Russian, it is in the very political DNA of Europe to produce it. So have a chuckle, a nice drink, and talk to the Chinese, Barzilians, Indians and the rest of the free world. The EU is a collection of unproductive arts, humanities and social scientists on nice expense accounts, whose mantra is that everything politically justifiable, is allowable, regardless of its illegality. These Brussels controllers, are Anti-Russian, that is their ingrained political position, so everything else flows naturally from it. Should we worry, no, should we care, no. The greatest strength, Russia has always had is to walk its own path, this is the reason why it is disliked so much, because it doesn't kowtow to the EU political class. However, this is the reason I love to be Russian, to know we aren't under the cosh, to know we can cooperate with the vast world out there, and create something new and fresh. Do I care what the EU says, no, and to be honest most of its EU controlled citizens don't care either. Do I care about the actual EU citizens being controlled by Brussels, yes, but that's up to them to fix, not me, for my eyes are travelling elsewhere on our fair planet. In blunt terms I don't care what the EU or US say, we know their agendas, we know their angles, we know their hypocrisy. The rest of the world is much bigger, and has much more to offer Russia in mutually beneficial terms. Russia also has far more to offer the world via this mutipolar vehicle, including north America.
