Turkey makes more friends. This time: the EU

You're happy about Hungary?  Greece?

Greece joined in the 80s.  They shouldn't have been allowed in the Euro though.

I'd agree with Zanza's list.

Yeah, but they shouldn't have let them into the EU in the 80s, or ever.

Or those nasty Neo-Nazi Baltic states?  And Slovenia.

You and I appear to have different definitions of Neo-Nazi.  The Baltics practice sound economics and the rule of law as far as I'm aware.

What's your beef with Slovenia?  I can't think of a more boring entrant to the EU.

Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia.  The Baltic states have a bad habit of venerating Nazis.

Hungary's current policies are indeed a concern. It remains to be seen how it will develop.

In hindsight, Greece shouldn't have joined the Euro, but they certainly have a place in the EU.

Can you blame them?  For them, the Nazis were the good guys who showed up to liberate them from the Russians.

Of course I can blame them.  I'm doing it right now.

You have that freedom, but I am dismissing your criticism.

Of course, the Nazis sold them out in the first place.  The ones the Germans wanted to keep were transferred out.

So?

I think we could always have predicted Greece was going to be a problem.  It's not like we weren't warned, I mean their Euro coin image is of Zeus raping Europa.

I have some concerns with the Baltic states over their treatment of the Russian speaking minority and whether that's really okay within the EU.  But I think things are improving.  Aside from Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus those are the only countries I wasn't sure should join.

I think Hungary's problem is that Jobbik did not win the last elections.

I'll let you people figure that one out (hint: it's an analogy to the developments in Poland ).

Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia.

So?

That's like saying you were once part of the Mob.  Or this lump was once part of a cancerous growth.

Like 20% unemployment rates?
