This is bull**** and you know it. Eastern Europe has nothing in common with Western Europe, try for example to find all those "similarities" between France and Bulgaria or Belgium and Romania or Czechia and Spain. Even in Western Europe you have Italy vs Denmark or so who are still very different.

This forum has too many people speaking out of their asses for countries whose history or politics they know nothing about.

Calm yourself my always angry friend. I clearly meant these 2 countries be united with the rest of Europe as one big big country, you know like this thread suggests.
A better example of people talking out of their asses for countries whose history or politics they know nothing about, would be you when talking about Germany.

I wouldn't poo poo the idea just because you think it sounds crazy. Pretty much every higher EU functionary is committed to this idea, and the structural foundation for it is already in place. Shared foreign policy, shared defense policy, shared trade policy, shared legal framework, shared monetary policy, shared budgetary/economic policy. Guess what, that's the things that make you 'one big single country'.

I didn't call it a paradise, I'm saying what the writing on the wall is. I myself jumped out of that shared 'paradise'.

But if it's not a paradise, then something obviously doesn't work in this idea of unification.

It was four years ago, must have slipped my mind.

Anyways I think Brexit has made a unified EU more likely.

What makes you think so and why?
And who are the Britons, if not Europeans?

Yes, but that won't stop them from trying.
